Introducing Bounce, a tool to move your following between Bluesky and Mastodon | TechCrunch
The overall goal at A New Social is to shift the power of social networks back to the people, not the platform makers, by giving them tools that let them move their account, their followings, and leave if a platform ever fails them in some way.Sarah Perez (TechCrunch)

I bought an old copy of "Darwin's Journal of researches" aka "The Voyage of the Beagle" for a student as a graduation gift. (It was not that expensive! But it's a popular book with many copies)
When it arrives I discover many of the pages are looped. (Because I WAS going to read it again first before I gave it to them)
So... do I take a letter opener to these or let the kid do it?
Hmmm.
Radio Free Trumpistan reshared this.
A nice touch for a historical drama might be some person reading a book published by their rival who they loath and conspicuously ripping open the pages without much care.
(although I don't think book people would find this funny, and thanks for the tip.)
myrmepropagandist reshared this.
OK but I want to read it and one of the looped pages is about when Darwin first saw an army ant colony. Do you see my problem. The discipline this is requiring of me?
Oh nooo I know you love your ants, too!
I often buy antique books and then look for the text online if they are rare, but I'm not sure that helps in this case. ..
Every book tells a story. You can read what is in the book, but you can also read the book itself, as an object.
This book was published in 1896 by Appleton in NYC. It used to be that having your book "published" meant sheets were printed, local bookshops and binders would then cut and bind the books for customers. Appleton was making this process more industrial. The book has a wild mix of features: a gilded top edge, but also uncut-pages, a fake headband, but real leather quarter binding.
myrmepropagandist reshared this.
The binding looks so dark it almost looks like it was exposed to fire. This is possible but I think it's just sun damage. This book sat on a shelf for a LONG time untouched in some pretty library that probably made someone feel very smart and erudite. I will write a dedication in it, re-read it (I have a digital version so I'm not really missing anything) and give it away.
I hope the kid writes in it too.
This book needs love. If it had been read more the spine might be less cracked.
myrmepropagandist reshared this.
This book is called "researches" but it's really just a young Darwin goggling at every creature he sees and getting excited by nature over and over. It's delightful to read even after all these years. You can practically see him bouncing up and down with excitement gushing about each more strange and unexpected adaptation he encounters.
It's not dry AT ALL.

They're gonna love it so much !When I was a teenager I found a 19th century edition of Victor Hugo's Toilers of the Sea at a flee market, a beautiful tall red leather-bound book including the author's illustrations. It was the same price as a new paperback edition of the novel and way more exhilarating to read (if less practical). Still one of the most cherished books in my personal bookshelves to this day.

I just read a post (not on Mastodon) where someone called a non-electric bike an acoustic bike and now I can't stop laughing 😂
I did a search and so I do see that this is a commonly used term now, but it has broken my brain!
And it makes me wonder - are electric bikes noisy? Is that part of the joke?
I haven't ridden a bike in a really long time…

Kitty Update:
Leela continues on her twice a day med for her thyroid condition and seems to be doing good overall. The Blaze (aka Blazey) kitten has been growing up fast and he's an utterly insane bundle of cat love.
A note about oral medication with pets. I'm able to get Leela's med in liquid form from a local compounding pharmacy, this is vastly easier than dealing with pills, which like most cats Leela despises. The med is dripped onto a treat (it's supposedly tuna-flavored) and she eats it all immediately. Be sure the pharmacy uses those rubber inserts in the medicine bottle. They seal the bottle so nothing can spill even if the cap is off, and the oral syringe pushes in through the rubber and you extract the proper amount with the bottle upside down. Vastly better than an open bottle without the insert.
