Thanks for the advice :) I’m in no situation for pets or anything, but i will remember it!

Diwali is a festival of light in Hinduism/India:

It symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kārtika – between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.

I know https://todon.nl is a good leftist instance for mastodon. https://hachyderm.io is general but nice admin team; and https://wetdry.world is general purpose and has a really modified (and fun!) fork of mastodon, and I vaguely recall seeing a couple Marxists there.

That’s AFAIK for mastodon. I’m not sure about the rest since I only use lemmy, piefed and matrix as my socials anyway, and even that’s a stretch lol.

I discovered this today and god damn it is interesting. Its an entire book written in non-existent Chinese characters. It itches the neographer part of my brain just right :'^) 4,000 unique characters that look exactly like other Hanzi, but that do not exist. That’s a huge amount of effort and it shows.

Even more interesting, while this is visually incomprehensible, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_Den is audibly Incomprehensible, its opposite. How neat

Iraq? Do you mean iran? They are also a part of west Asia and I’m pretty sure they are in the ME. Central Asia’s a common mistake though

Exactly why i put liberation in quotes, it is anything but that; they just want to occupy and subjugate Venezuelans

Already started to manufacture consent for a “Liberation” of Venezuela just at the end of 2025 🫩

Already during Oct. 6 I prepared myself for the Zionist bullshit that’ll come the next day. 2 years, they’ve bombed and bulldozed all of Gaza, murdered at least 60k, and they’re still harping on this. Jfc.

Fuck off parasites, nobody here wants “british influence”

The rest of the gulf now, please.

It takes hours to reach a single applebees. I remember a few years ago I did, and it actually tasted great; just eh, not great enough to drive for hours to other cities lol.
