As with so many others recently, today is my 3rd year anniversary on Mastodon here in the Fediverse, and I’m so glad to be here. I spent 13 years on Twitter, finding much of it useful in the early times, and a total hell towards the end. Not sorry to see the end of it.
Took a while to find a community here, but feel fortunate now to have found a great server, and so many interesting people, engaged and sharing their passions. There is never a day here that I don’t get to learn something, see something amazing, or talk to a friend (frequently all 3 at once.)
Thanks.

The chemical element Darmstadtium, which was discovered at GSI/FAIR, is the namesake for the conference center Darmstadtium, located in our hometown Darmstadt.
By the way, today is the discovery day of the chemical element Darmstadtium.
🎉Happy birthday!

Reading this below on the 36th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and by extension the symbolic end of the GDR, the place I grew up in... with neighbors and parents of classmates belonging to the Stasi (east German secret police), the fear my own parents might be disappeared — years later seeing the thickness of the files of surveillance materials the state/stasi had collected on my family... remembering early autumn 1989, joining friends protesting in the streets every Monday after school, every week more and more people joining, from all walks of life, slowly replacing our fear with a feeling of invincibility, then the unthinkable (positive) happening in early November... the wall falling, driving into West Berlin for the first time the day after (and getting stuck in the largest traffic jams the country has ever known). The '90s were born that day and anything seemed possible...
Reading this post by @aphyr is intensely moving, not just today, and in many ways the situation already is so, so much worse and so much more brutal, more like 1930/40s Germany and numerous other dictatorships throughout the 20th century...

"I write to leave a record, to stare at the track of the tornado. I write to leave a warning. I write to call for help."
"I want you to understand, regardless of your politics, the historical danger of a secret police. What happens when a militia is deployed in our neighborhoods and against our own people. Left unchecked their mandate will grow; the boundaries of acceptable identity and speech will shrink. I want you to think about elections in this future. I want you to understand that every issue you care about—any hope of participatory democracy—is downstream of this."

Roleplaying games (RPGs/TTRPGs)
This weekend, Chaosium is celebrating 50 years. For 44 of them, they have been one of, if not the, favourite game producers. It started with Runequest and Glorantha, tabletop games like Nomads of Prax(?) and King Arthur Knights. Over the heyday years of the 80s and into the 90s, Call of Cthulhu was a given, Pendragon opened new ways to look at RPGs and I've enjoyed also the more obscure ones like Nephilim (not that easy to get into!), Ringworld and Elfquest.
The Basic Roleplaying system (BRP), through Magic World/Superworld/Future World, served as the basics for my own home cooked games, like The Veil, where you were one person when awake and as you slept and dreamt, you turned the character sheet over, for your Dream Self.
Thank you, the brilliant but late Greg Stafford and all the people that have been part of the community, for these years and for those to come. It has been quite the trip and many dice rolls.

"On [this] day in 1964, Dr. Robert Moog introduced the world to a completely new type of instrument that would go on to change the course of music history and influence decades of future instrument design."
