I dont mean to be snide, but the abbreviation for advertisement is 'ad', not add.

Also, using uBlock Origin on Firefox (or its various forks) gets you rid of ads pretty much universally. It's also a security feature in the post-2000's internet; lots of malware use ads as an attack vector.

You should not need to suffer through ads - no one should.

Started reading The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan as my new fiction book. Surprised that it seems pretty good for vampire fiction (though admittedly I have limited experience with the genre), at least the first 50'sh pages.

As my non fiction I just finished reading Schools and styles of Anthropological Theory, ed. Matei Candea. Good enough brief overview of the development and larger discourses affecting anthropology as a discipline.

Huh. Wonder why its so finicky. Oh well, maybe I'll give it another go in the future.

Does it work anymore? I've been getting the 500 error while trying to use it for a couple of months non stop.

Like most of bloody Europe.

Doesnt seem to work for many people (Cloudflare has stopped supporting it?), judging by reading reviews on Mozilla extension store.

Yes, exactly like that - thanks! I also realize now that apparently I'm blind for not seeing all the text formatting options right there under my nose.

If you feel like getting even more depressed about the state of the world;

Popular Front is a grassroots war/conflict reporting podcast by british journalist Jake Hanrahan, about different ongoing and developing conflicts around the world.

Kinda depressing, but often times far, far ahead of the large media house news cycles. Also offers a little bit of hope, with reports of why and how people on the ground are going against oppression of various kinds.

P.S. anyone know how one could bold comment/post text in the Jerboa app?

Probably not flying, though.

Too fucking depressing, especially when you realize the same sort of moronic attitudes, anti-intellectualism and inertia for byrocracys sake have existed on ones life for too many years, but one has just grown too accustomed to it. It really fucking makes one hate itself and makes one want to do SOMETHING to break these monkey people's moronic inertia against everything that might make the world a better place for as many people as possible. Fuck, is this self the r word? Im drunk, I dont know.

 

A pain hook (self-use massage device for the neck and back) made from a pine branch. Snoopy-like dog appeared from the branch while whittling, hence the name.

Lightly stained with walnut colour stain and a light beeswax layer on top of that so it feels smooth on the skin. Handle made from old repurposed leather belt strips.

These pain hooks are an old Finnish and Karelian thing for massaging one's neck and back, and I was wondering if these sort of self-care "devices" are known and in use in other cultures?
