Nun-splosion!
So, for my first appearance as a Nun in 2020, I’ve gone in at the deep end, and went to the Cardiff Exequator! If you’ve seen my previous primer post on the Order, you’ll have seen pictures of the Order in Cardiff, but what is an “Exequator”? ... [More] -
How to post Instagram posts on Mastodon using IFTTT
NOTE: This post is out of date! For the latest way to do it, go to this post. This post was originally published on my old Tumblr, but it seemed more appropriate for this place, so… A lot of people are starting to join Mastodon these days as an alternative to Twitter, because of it’s perceived benefits of community and local moderation over Twitter’s centralised structure and problems with moderating hate speech and harrasment. (Although, as Sage Sharp notes on Twitter, this is dependent on picking the right community, or “instance” in Mastodon, that supports you.) I’m currently on one of the main active instance of Mastodon to try a few things out before moving to another instance, and one of the things that I been trying out is seeing if I can post my latest Instagrams on Mastodon the way I can on Twitter. ...

A lot of people over here were referring to Pride Month. The main reason I noticed this was that in the last couple of days, I saw several people declaring that they were kinda pleased that Pride Month was nearing its end. ... [More] -

Night mode
I’ve already warned you that I’m a supergeek. Now I’m going to show it… I’ve used Night Mode in various web applications, and it’s even supported on my MacOS desktop computer, so I thought: can I implement it in this website? Well, you might have noticed a new switch on the top right of this page, which switches Night mode on or off, and that it remembers your choice when going to another page. So, how did I do this? ...

It's been a long drag...
Last Saturday I was at Pride Edinburgh, as part of my work with the Order of Perpetual Indulgence. Usually, what this involves is going to one of the Sisters’ houses at an early time in order to get ready (Manifest in the Sister parlance): in this case the flat of Sister Liza Vicious, my Mother in the OPI. However, this morning, there was a difference. ... [More]
