Kurt Vonnegut
@Mignon Fogarty @Nathan Lowell (he/him) Stuff You Missed in History class recently had an episode about Kurt Vonnegut, as someone who has never read him, what would you recommend as a first book?
in reply to Chris A Moody
I think I've read most of them.
Slaughterhouse Five is the one that I remember reading.
he's back!
Look at that @Nathan Lowell (he/him) released another episode! Which reminds me, I should also
Saw this on FB
@Mignon Fogarty Saw this on FB from "The Language Nerds":
English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

libro.fm
@Nathan Lowell (he/him) have you ever heard of libro.fm? seems like it would be right up your alley
Finished the book
@Nathan Lowell (he/him) I finished the Audible version of Overdue: A Magical Library LitRPG Adventure: Library System Reset, Book 1. Currently Audible only has the first two books available, holding off on listening to the 2nd one as I'm sure I'd want to listen to the third right away
Started Listening to
@Nathan Lowell (he/him) Started listening to Overdue: A Magical Library LitRPG Adventure awesome story so far, not really sure its LitRPG as she's not (so far at least) gaining points like the MC does in most of them
It's It
@Mignon Fogarty For the "It" of English, curious if when we did have genders if we didn't have the "It"
Email client
@Nick @ The Linux Experiment What email client are you going to be using? I've started using betterbird
Very true!
@chrismoody The penny isn't even worth the copper required to make one. Putting the Orange One's face on it would only further diminish it's value.
Star Trek
@George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ Recently heard that Shatner had said he'd be open to be on a new Star Trek series. Was curious for the right story would you be Sulu again?
Hyprland
Started playing with Hyprland, so far I'm enjoying it. Though not entirely sure I'm ready to leave KDE's Plasma.
Private Detective stories
I'm currently writing a story which takes the premise of the kid from Sixth Sense grows up and becomes a private detective for both the living and dead.
As he isn't a police officer, I'm assuming that the condition of a dead body when found isn't important to the reader? Would this be a fair assessment?
I do also assume that I should know what the condition would be?

Moving Instances
Hi all, you may have gotten a request from me to re-follow me, I've decided to make use of Friendica instead of Mastodon.
Friendica Q
Just starting my own Friendica based website. Can anyone tell me, is it possible for one install to have multiple "Groups" on it? Ie: for various interests of mine, can I make it something like FB does with its Groups, or something similar?
