I really love baroque music!!
Hai să campăm!
I miss my Windows Phone
Silly idea of the day: spelling ‘Minneapolis’ in Greek using an eta where the ‘e’ is, e.g. Μινηάπολις
Τον Δεσπότην και Αρχιερέα ημών Κύριε φύλλαττε· εις πολλά έτη' Δεσποτά
Λα γρέκα ἂλφὰπέτω ἒστάς μια πλέϊ ϸὰτάτὰ ἂλφὰμπέτω· ϡη ἂκὸμὸδὶϡέμὰ ἒστάς
man alive do I like Byzantine music
Mi trinkis iomet da tro multe hieraŭ
I like working with text files, but no unicode font has proper support for byzantine notation yet
I had an exam today! I didn't know I'd have an exam, but I know I did well (the prof said so lol).
Bonan Ĉieliratagon!
It’s so nice outside today ☀️
Hodiaŭ pluve estas, kaj mi ankoraŭ decidis promeni ĉirkaŭ la kvartalo 🌧️
I got my ancient Haiku system on Gemini!! It’s just browsing for now, as the WiFi card is way too unreliable for it to be a server.
Just got a deck of hanafuda 🎴 !
Absolutely in love with microtonal music, especially King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, though nothing beats a good Tone 3 doxology lol
I sang so much and so intensely over Pascha that my voice is sore 🥲
Χριστός ἀνέστη!
Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν,
θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας,
καὶ τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι,
ζωὴν χαρισάμενος!
Have you guys heard of the RESTRICT Act that's being proposed by the US Congress? It looks really bad for open use of the Internet.
The fool, who is unwilling to realize
his honorable state,
prefers to become just an animal,
rather than a person,
so that, without incurring judgement,
he may serve naught but his lusts. But had there been sown in animals
just a little
of the sense of discernment,
then long ago would the wild donkeys have lamented and wept at their not
having been human.
Time for a concert!
I should write more poetry, maybe even start working on a novel or something.
Ĉio povas esti resumita en Estetiko kaj Politiko Ekonomia.
Solarpunk: A Brighter Perspective is a great album.
Also the train is like, 5 hours late
Looks like smol.pub is down again 🥲
The train I’m on is 6 hours late! I’m not complaining though, it’s very comfortable. Someone’s playing The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, the car is warm, and I’m content.
Do you have a favorite poem? If yes, would you share it?
Got back from a small gathering with friends: iom da ili fumis nefiltritajn cigaredojn kaj cigarojn. Mi ne ŝatas la odoron de fumo, tamen la diskuto interesiĝis.
Thinking about buying BallisticNG, though I’ve never played Wipeout. The aesthetics are great, but aesthetics don’t make a game good alone. 🏎️
ho ve mi fartas malsane kaj lacege – kaj ĝi ne estas pro l'alkoholo el la novjaro
Happy new year! An noul fericit! С Новым годом! Novjaron feliĉan! 🎆
Kristo naskiĝas!
Δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις Θεῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς εἰρήνη ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκία.
Oh house of Ephratha,
thou holy city,
glory of the prophets,
beautify the house
in which the Divine One is born!

Sang an advent concert, now I’m at a 24hr diner to eat dinner 🐟
ΟΣΟΝ ΖΗΣ ΦΑΙΝΟΥ
Winter reminder for those in the snowy northern hemisphere: don’t overdrive the weather, I got the car stuck in the snow going around a corner at ~30mph/~48kph and had to get unstuck with the help of 2 other people. I’m grateful for their help 😅
Went to a Christmas market with some friends 🎄
Why did nobody tell me that Haskell could be so cool?!
pretty sure I got frostbit at the football game on Saturday ❄️
Just installed a really nice y2k-ish font for Lagrange called Republika. I think it looks good as a header font paired with (of course) Alegreya
Mi ĵus diris al eksdunganto mia doni al mi la monon por kilometraĵo. Kiel Ĵokero diras
Ne temas pri la mono, ĝi temas pri sendado de mesaĝo.
Man, it's getting really cold again
Mi murdos ĉi tiu presilon
(ne kolera mi estas, evidente :^) .)
Kion farus vi, kiam via ĉefulo estas nekompetenta? T.e., ekzemple, li al vi sendus planon por bonigeco persona, kiu enhavas liston pri la eraroj, ke vi faris; sed la plano mem el via ĉefulo estas misliteruma!
Haha iras mi al la kafozono
The cat woke me up way too early again.
Stillness and patience create safety
the Jewel of the World preserves itself.
Torn-up flowers die in unskilled hands
and perverse gardeners flourish
exclaiming on the merits of barren pools.
Truly, cleanliness is a blessed gift to be thankful for.
Happy (ecclesiastical) new year!

I'm on an extremely limited connection so the snappiest networking I'm experiencing is Gemini lol
Just found a nifty little text replacement program called espanso, I like it a lot so far.
Check it out here ↓
https://espanso.org
No GUI yet, but if you're on Gemini you're probably OK with configuration files.
alas, smol.pub is down and I must poast
First time playing WITW, guess right immediately 😜 (it was a very recognizable country)

Lucky me, I tested positive for coronavirus today. No coughing yet, just a tickle in my throat and a lot of fatigue. Here we go lol 🎢
En la mondon venis nova sento,
tra la mondo iras forta voko;
per flugiloj de facila vento
nun de loko flugu ĝi al loko.
Ne al glavo sangon soifanta
ĝi la homan tiras familion:
al la mond' eterne militanta
ĝi promesas sanktan harmonion.
Bonan Esperantatagon al ĉiuj!
Ĉu ŝi min ŝatas?
Delta Airlines’ free in-flight messaging WiFi blocks Gemini access, but Air France doesn’t. 🇫🇷 🛰
I should get back into space trucking in Elite one of these days 🚀
Kafon mi amas,
sed tro malsanigas,

Their proclamation went forth into all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.
In the sun He set His tabernacle;
And it rejoices exceedingly
Like a bridegroom coming forth from his bridal chamber,
Like a strong man to run a race.
Lift up the gates, O ye princes,
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors,
And the King of glory shall enter.
the cat licked my arms
her tongue is so very rough
now she is snoozing
my živemo v koncu historije

Thought of the day: Interrogate experts.
Ευλογητος ει Χριστε ο Θεος ημων Ο πανσοφους τους αλιεις αναδειξας κατα πεμψας αυτοις το Πνευματο αγιον και δι' αυτον την Οικουμενην σαγηνευσας φιλανθρωπε Δοξα Σοι
☧ Christ is risen! Today is the Leavetaking of Pascha, the last day we sing the troparion and use the festal hymns.
This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! 🌅
smol.pub is down
Which books have you read recently? If you haven't read any recently, which books would you like to read?
Font check! Which fonts do you use when you read Geminispace?
I like Manrope for headings, Iosevka or Cousine for monospace, and Alegreya for body text in Lagrange; outside of Lagrange I use whichever monospace font is the default in the terminal (or a serifed font lol)
I hooked up a keyboard to my phone and am pleasantly surprised at how well Lagrange works with a keyboard!
There's something really nice about hot water, procrastination, and Carbon Based Lifeforms

Am I misremembering keyboard shortcuts, or was F5 the refesh shortcut in most web browsers until recently?
Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.

Come, let us drink not miraculous water drawn forth from a barren stone, but a new vintage springing from the tomb of Christ, in Him we are established!
O Life, how canst Thou die?
Or abide in a grave?
For Thou dost destroy the kingdom of death, O Lord, and raisest up the dead of Hades’ realm.
Thy bridal chamber I see adorned, O my Savior, and I have no wedding garment that I may enter. O Giver of Light, enlighten the vesture of my soul, and save me.
Lagrange 1.12 is great!
Have you heard or Orion's Arm? It's a big, collaborative sci-fi writing project that has been around forever. I'd love to see it mirrored on Gemini 😅

Someday I'd really like to convert my undergrad linguistics papers into gemtext, alas — LaTeX glosses and examples do not translate easily, and there are no tables in Gemtext.

Hey! Check out this post from Andre Garzia responding to Marius. I was going to write my own response, but I think this article covers everything I was going to say.

Hey everyone! Is gemini://smol.pub down for anyone else? I haven't been able to connect to it at all today, and I need to poast
