it may sound like my interests are queer theory and videogames but my true passion is quoting völuspá in the least appropriate situations possible

Eco, Libraries, Teachers, Essential workers, Heroism, and Ur-Fascism
Whenever I see reopening calls for librarians or teachers to be heroes, I think of Eco's essay on Ur-Fascism.
"In such a perspective everybody is educated to become a hero. In every mythology the hero is an exceptional being, but in Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death."
every time i try to do something in vim i inevitably find myself 4hrs later with like 50 help pages open and some incomprehensible new settings in my config file

Hometown v1.0.4+3.1.4 is now available!
https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/releases/tag/v1.0.4%2B3.1.4
In addition to upgrading to Mastodon 3.1.4, this includes significantly better support for local-only posting from 3rd party apps. Hometown will now respect your default federation setting from a third party app, so if you're set to local by default, apps will post local by default. More info here:
