Day 20,440Enjoying my meta and general media blackout, and my avoidance of the news in general today. I would like to minimize my time on all meta services, given that they are going the way of Twitter. Nice that I can still broadcast here, on mastodon, Tumblr and my own page, meanwhile.

A small sleeve (about the size of one you get for peanuts or sunflower seeds) of puntazo’s mix – dried corn kernels, puffed corn, star crackers and corn chips.

Defy authority. Get really into a book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven't aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable.

A historical black and white photograph capturing the aftermath of the Boston Molasses Disaster in 1919. The image shows the devastating destruction caused by a collapsed molasses tank, with debris scattered across the area.
