Lire, c'est voyager; voyager, c'est lire.


Citation extraite de "Choses vues", recueil de notes et de mémoires de Victor Hugo, initialement publié à titre posthume sous la forme de deux séries, en 1887 et en 1900. Ce passage vient du portrait du duc de Saxe-Weimar.

Extrait du portrait du duc de Saxe-Weimar écrit par Victor Hugo en 1844:

M. le duc Bernard de Saxe-Weimar est, en cette année 1844, un homme d'environ cinquante-deux ans. C'est un allemand de haute taille, fort gros, les mains larges, le pied petit, blond, le visage rouge, le nez camard, les moustaches rousses, les yeux enfoncés et vifs.
Il a du monde, de l'esprit et des lettres. Il a beaucoup voyagé et beaucoup lu. Lire, c'est voyager; voyager, c'est lire. On s'en aperçoit en l'écoutant. Il est bienveillant, cordial, ouvert, plein d'idées. Il parle français tout à la fois avec peine et avec facilité, avec peine par la prononciation, avec facilité par l'esprit. Sa façon est aimable, militaire, franche, et plaît sur-le-champ. Il est oncle de Mme la duchesse d'Orléans.


|Lire, c'est voyager; voyager, c'est lire.|



Quand l'enfant quitte la maison, il emporte la main de sa mère.


Proverbe extrait des "Proverbes sentences et maximes" de Maurice Maloux (1960). La référence en chinois n'est pas donnée. Sous cette forme, Il est inconnu en Chine.

Maurice Maloux nous indique que cela signifie que l'enfant emporte les bonnes ou mauvaises manières de sa mère.


|Quand l'enfant quitte la maison, il emporte la main de sa mère.|

I'VE GOT MY PASSPORT BOOK!

THIS IS A HUGE FUCKING RELIEF!

For those not aware, I've been without valid photo ID for ages, let alone ID with my correct name and gender marker.

When I got my name and gender marker change order done a few months back, just before I could get in the state office to get a new ID (and I was having issues with them actually sending me a non-temporary one regardless...) they decided they were going to start ignoring court orders and putting anyone who tried to get their ID updated on a list.

Thankfully that's only at the state level and the only thing that matters there is drivers license. I was born in a state that is very supportive of updating my birth certificate, and the federal government still accepts the forms just fine.

So the passport isn't just me able to leave the country reasonably, it's also a valid photo ID with my correct name and gender which I haven't had in ages (and has been the thing holding me back from updating things like bank accounts).

Looking to use Friendica a bit more


Lately I've been trying to convince myself to use social media more, so I can actually socialize and not just spend all my time watching YT.

I actually used to use reddit chronically, but at this point I haven't posted anything in months and that's been a plus in my opinion.

I started by using Discord more (I know, ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY(TM), but I joined a really good server that isn't anywhere else like Matrix).

Then I started using Mastodon more, and to my surprise I got my first follower in the form of Patrick Volkerding, the creator of Slackware, my all-time favorite Linux distro. Pretty poggers if you ask me.

Mastodon's been doing pretty good for me, and now I'm taking things further by trying to use Friendica more often. Soon enough, I'll also try to get back in the habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit.

If it's federated/foss, I'll think about trying it (except Bluesky, I predict that platform is gonna get real spooky like Twitter in a matter of time).

Overall, look forward to seeing more of me on Friendica, and if you want you can check out my Mastodon at tronnerd82@mastodon.social

in reply to TronNerd82

@TronNerd82 I mean you'll probably have either have some forewarning or have bigger issues on your mind if that comes about... ie. if I have to emergency bail then you're probably doing the same or about to...

If I do get the opportunity to escape this state or country I'll probably at least have time to give people a heads up that the server is going down.

in reply to Shiri Bailem

@Shiri Bailem As a form of pseudo-insurance in the event that foggyminds goes down, I've migrated instances over to friendica.world. This will most likely be my final post on this instance so as not to clog up bandwidth and be a burden. Here's hoping things work out for you as far as leaving goes, and if you can't leave, I at least hope the people there won't be hateful to you. Much love from a fellow queer 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Downtime


Sorry for the downtime, server crashed and I wasn't able to address it quickly or smoothly in my current mental state.

I took advantage of the downtime, and probably exacerbated it a little, and finally did the migration back to local hardware... so it *should* be more reliable.

What honestly stretched it out a lot is that I also applied the most recent stable Friendica version and that took forever to update the database.

Major Service Notice, USpol

It's with a heavy heart that I'm letting y'all know that I'm disabling open-registrations and *encouraging* all users to find a new home.

I'm not kicking anyone off my server, but unfortunately due to the political situation here in the US the chance for things to go *very bad very quickly* I can not vouch for this server as reliable.

I live in Texas and need to figure out plans to evacuate at this point. I was holding out hope that we'd at least have status quo (as monstrously awful as it is) for longer.

And to make things worse, I'm a trans-woman, they actively want to make my very existence (let alone presence online) illegal and have been building the machinery to make that a very fast process once Trump assumes office.

So I do not recommend this server any longer for those reasons, if you choose to stay I'll continue to run it and support y'all.
