@npub1ggh…ykhp I've known hobbyist bookbinders who write their own stories inside to give as gifts. Their works aren't published—they're not meant for public distribution. However, the works are books in my mind.
I've seen book catalogers debate about works like these. Would they be an exception for you?

A random question for #writers: When is a manuscript a book?
When do you expect you would feel comfortable answering "yes" when someone you trust asks, "Have you written a [or the] book?"

@npub1mp3…qjxj blanketflowers are also known as firewheels? I like that name better.
Thank you for the image, too! These are one of my favorite plants.

The reason for the strange naming and uncomfortable images on #kbin is because the person running it is an ammophile?
That explains "magazines" and the firearm in someone's face as an avi. Supposedly "kbin" is also a reference to "carbine" or "rifle" in Polish.
The ubiquitous stormtrooper (Nazi symbology used in "both sides" marketing) and the partnership with Lemmy's developers also make more sense to me knowing that.

@npub1ulm…hweg 💯
While this happens for every type of experience, my thoughts this week have been on major :heart_sp_pride: political experiences.
Boosted accounts on social media: "No one is calling for the genocide of social minorities! That's only the media and influencers trying to get engagement!"
Some of us are watching offline, face-to-face, public calls for genocide. We're usually ignored in media and told we're on our own.
Dismissers have 100x more followers than us.

#[0] King and James are choosing to support Twitter by staying on it. I have no sympathy for them receiving special treatment by its primary shareholder.
