Une bombe qui explose tuera sans doute des enfants, mais ces enfants ne mourront pas en ayant l'impression que l'humanité a trahi tout ce qu'ils étaient en droit d'attendre.


«Une bombe qui explose tuera sans doute des enfants, mais ces enfants ne mourront pas en ayant l'impression que l'humanité a trahi tout ce qu'ils étaient en droit d'attendre.» Céline Pina, 3 novembre 2023
Cette horreur restera épinglée jusqu'à la fin des massacres à Gaza.


La vérité est si obscurcie en ce temps, et le mensonge si établi, qu'à moins que d'aimer la vérité, on ne saurait la connaître.


Pensées diverses IV – Fragment n°6/23 (Pensée 864 dans certains ouvrages) de Blaise Pascal.

|La vérité est si obscurcie en ce temps, et le mensonge si établi, qu'à moins que d'aimer la vérité, on ne saurait la connaître.|



On n'a jamais fait croire des inepties aux hommes que pour les soumettre.


Cette citation est extraite de la "Treizième lettre adressée par M. Covelle à ses chers concitoyens" (Covelle était un pseudonyme utilisé par Voltaire) venant de "Questions sur le Miracles" de Voltaire (1765).

Cette lettre n'est certainement pas du 23 juillet 1765, comme l'indique le Café littéraire en référence. Elle est celle, attestée, de la première lettre.

Extrait de la "Treizième lettre" venant de "Questions sur le Miracles" de Voltaire (1765):

On n'a jamais fait croire des sottises aux hommes que pour les soumettre. La fureur de dominer est de toutes les maladies de l'esprit humain la plus terrible; mais ce ne peut être aujourd'hui que dans un violent transport au cerveau, que des hommes vêtus de noir puissent prétendre nous rendre imbéciles pour nous gouverner. Cela est bon pour les sauvages du Paraguai qui obéissent en esclaves aux jésuites; mais il faut en user autrement avec nous. Nous devons être jaloux des droits de notre raison comme de ceux de notre liberté, car plus nous serons des êtres raisonnables, plus nous serons des êtres libres. Prenez-y bien garde, mes chers compatriotes, citoyens, bourgeois, natifs, et habitants; il faut qu'on ne nous trompe, ni sur notre religion, ni sur notre gouvernement. Le droit de dire et d'imprimer ce que nous pensons est le droit de tout homme libre, dont on ne saurait le priver sans exercer la tyrannie la plus odieuse. Ce privilège nous est aussi essentiel que celui de nommer nos auditeurs et nos syndics, d'imposer des tributs, de décider de la guerre et de la paix; et il serait plaisant que ceux en qui réside la souveraineté ne pussent pas dire leur avis par écrit.

La dernière phrase de Voltaire est paradoxale. La liberté est valable pour tous, pas uniquement aux simples citoyens. En outre, Voltaire a raconté nombre d'inepties dans ces lettres.


|On n'a jamais fait croire des inepties aux hommes que pour les soumettre.|




A First Post


As I move into my 40s, and contend with the dynamic tension of both more time, money, and capability; against higher demands on those very resources. I've been looking for a new place to do my social networking. I don't need the massive social networks of the past, since most of my community is well established at this point. It's nice to have federation, so my more distant friends can still see my posts without having to maintain or check a specific network just on my behalf. It's a little disappointing to find the landscape of self-hosted or federated social networks so barren, but Friendica seems like a solid option. The federated landscape makes it easier to try a platform, knowing that my work will not be forever vendor-locked into that platform.



Slightly sketchy account makes me uncomfortable and others report it... I politely give them a warning to migrate before shutting them down...

Day and a half later "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"... whelp, that's an immediate delete...

2 months into a relationship and god I love her so damn much. There's a lot of passion, but there's also that steady comfort and safety... God I already can't imagine life without her.

How do y'all process the lesbian uhaul instinct? lol

Servers that consume significant resources (ie. fediverse servers...) cost so much... 😭



new work


আজকে এটিই আমার প্রথম পোস্ট। দেখি কেমন হয়?


Long time no writing here


I started to digging into my latest hobby of #bookbinding (but it's not the only one i assure you)
And made several pamphlet, with also some custom design.
I recently made couple of handmade hardcover journals. One using a custom hero-quest character sheet, the other one is just a lined notebook.
More info for who is interested are available here: ko-fi.com/post/Two-more-bookbi… (don't worry all my posts on #ko-fi are free)
It also gave my a nice surprise of receiveing the first donation ever (even if it will be the last it still made me happy! :) ) Any opinion comment is appreciated.
These are couple of pictures of my latest works:

Hey there, I'm Kees (they/them/their, ne/nem/nir), a 30-something bug living in California. I'm hoping to make this my public facing account to share my art and generally interact with the rest of the fediverse.

I'm an amateur naturalist (I like BIRDS and BUGS, especially parasitic wasps) and I do art in various media (digital, watercolor, acrylic), usually of birds or original characters from an ARPG I help run. #tokipona li pona. Aaand I don't know what else to put in here so I'll stop ha.



Hello world. Just doing some testing with how this interfaces with Mastodon, and the various privacy options
This is meant to be a public post with an abstract/CW




Hello there. Glasgow calling.
I'm an analogue digital hybrid who cares about mental health issues, music, photography and art.
I'm deeply suspicious of ducks (in a less than serious way) and although I exist on Mastodon I'm keen to migrate to Friendica.
Best wishes all.






Mist and fog clouds over this domain. The thoughts of raceme flowers and pinnated ferns hang over my minds eye as I walk with covered pupils. The hard dirt feels rock like, with an occasional trip over roots.

Listened to a command on the internet informing me how to remove dependencies using pacman on arch. Ended up removing ca-certificates and fucking my system. Had to reinstall those packages from cache.




It's just too warm to do anything... I loathe this heat. I want the winter temperatures back... 😩

Still don't understand what the differences between the 3 timelines "latest posts", "latest creation" and "latest activity" in Friendica are. 😆
in reply to Shiri Bailem

@Shiri Bailem Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! It’s been very helpful in understanding the differences between the individual timelines.
in reply to Charline

@Charline glad i could help! Friendica is powerful but it's far from the easiest to understand.


Since nerdica.net collapsed, I was searching for a new Friendica instance. I've finally found one.
in reply to Shiri Bailem

@Shiri Bailem Yeah. They messed something up with their backups while updating Friendica or something like that. They couldn't manage to restore everything and gave up, sadly. But I'm glad I've found your server! 😀
in reply to Charline

@Charline yeah, these databases get huge and it becomes a lot harder to restore. a month or two ago I lost a few days to a database crash, this morning's database backup was 4GB. It takes like half an hour to start the database if it's not a clean shutdown (and about as much time to cleanly shut down).

It's kinda a nightmare lol
