L'amitié se finit parfois en amour, mais rarement l'amour en amitié.


Il ne s'agit pas d'un proverbe français, mais d'un aphorisme de Charles Caleb Colton, écrivain anglais, extrait de son ouvrage "Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words: Addressed to Those who Think " (1820):
«L'AMITIE se termine souvent par l'amour; mais l'amour, par l'amitié - - - jamais.»


|L'amitié se finit parfois en amour, mais rarement l'amour en amitié.|



Le passé appartient aux ancêtres, l'avenir appartient à Dieu, seul le présent t'appartient.


Proverbe inventé au début du XXIe siècle (inexistant dans la langue malgache). Il est inepte car il met sur un pied d'égalité Dieu, les ancêtres et les vivants.

Ensuite, selon le mythe malgache de la création, Zanahary a créé la terre, mais l'a laissée déserte. C'est alors que Ratovoantany, «celui qui s'est créé lui-même», surgit du sol comme une plante. Lorsque Zanahary , surpris et curieux , descendit du ciel pour rendre visite à Ratovoantany, cette nouvelle divinité séchait au soleil des images d'argile d'êtres humains et d'animaux qu'elle avait fabriquées.

La vérité rougit l'œil, mais elle ne la transperce pas.


Proverbe sénégalais écrit sous une forme un peu différente connu en France depuis 1940:
«La vérité rougit l'œil , mais ne le crève pas.»
Comprenez que dire la vérité peut faire pleurer, mais ne blesse pas le corps de la personne.


|La vérité rougit l'œil, mais elle ne la transperce pas.|





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... 😭


Sorry for the downtime


Housing situation has been a pain, still on the temporary server environment and been hitting major resources bottlenecks.

I'm hoping to get a place sooner, but I've hit some roadblocks that very likely will push it drastically further out... in which case I'll need to spend more money on this environment to return things to stable.

Reminder that I'm covering this entirely out of my own pocket and these constraints are because I'm between homes and can't use my own much cheaper hardware. If you appreciate this instance I would very much appreciate a donation.

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.
