E is for “epiphany.” I actually really struggled to come up with an “E” concept. The big thought that occupied my brain was of my mom’s biological dad, Elmer, who I only knew a bit. But if I was going to share a pic of him, it’s a specific one I don’t have.

This morning after a meeting I took a break and looked at Pixelfed and someone had shared one of my pictures and it was a surprise — a little moment of feeling “seen.” And it felt different here because that person shared that picture because it happened into their feed because they opted in … they followed me — indicating at least some interest in seeing my posts. Or maybe through a hashtag they’re interested in and opted to follow or search. Humans determined its relevance — not an algorithm designed to exploit our emotions to drive up weekly usage, ad revenue, or whatever other agenda their founders have in mind.

That’s what I loved about the early Internet. In the early Internet years I found a feeling of belonging that I hadn’t experienced in real life, where I felt like a foreign animal with its antennae up just trying to figure out how to navigate the world’s expectations.

And that’s why I’ve been so strongly drawn here. Because it’s people. And it means so much to be seen, or to see something and think: “highly relatable.”

“I’m not alone.”

A messy watercolor of flowers in red, pink and purple is in the background. In the foreground is a typewriter-typed sheet of paper reading: “I haven’t been able to explain why the fediverse feels so different to me than commercial social media and I just figured it out. Here, stuff gets shared because a human saw it and felt something. What a remarkable thing, to feel across demographics and time zones and all of our differences. There stuff gets shared because an algorithm determined it might make you feel enough of a positive or negative emotion to drive up usage and feed the machine. It’s just warmer here. And I like it.” In pencil, the last like is edited to: “It just feels warmer here.” And includes the attribution: @saralobkovich

Yesterday marked my 66th trip around the sun. Yikes! I enjoyed a peaceful day, with all the right notes, including some time with my Joyful Meadow. Time for an 8 month update. Haven't had much Meadow time with the chaos of the past month, but I have made some progress on my dawn sky. #IMadeThis #Embroidery

A piece of embroidery in process, including fields of flowers and hills. The piece in the hoop is a peach colored sky above the hills.

Love to see an article that digs into some of the complexity of combat we've built.

And if you don't like roguelites, still give it a try! It's not wholly run-based -- you gain power over the course of a dungeon that resets at the end (your "build"), but you're also permanently acquiring new weapons and unlocking new locations. We avoid the "start from zero" feeling that frustrates me in roguelikes.
