lobster

Greetings, salutations and XXX (if you will pardon the kissy-kissy)

I just about managed to get through the captcha. I have been on mastodon awhile. Trying long term to create my own server/instance. I frequently get lost, confused or befuddled. Only on days of the week ending in 'Y'/'why'

Own three cats. None of which are real. Yet. Am a vegan in my dreams. Mostly harmless.

I'll have what your having. With local herbs freely growing and available to sniff and flavour...

Dear Friends of the #Tao,
I have never been very interested in the alchemical side of Taoism BUT:
Have included a rantcast on my limited experience and use of Tao #philosophy and its slow incursion into Western #consciousness.

Dear Hope filled Friends who are green or some other colour,
As you might know (because I am going to tell you):
- Watched the UK Green Parties broadcast.
- I will vote for them again
- Went to their website which is up and running
https://greenparty.org.uk/
- Tried to join (filled in their membership form)
Could I? NO!
And I will tell you why. They are on Bluesky, Threads, Instagram etc. Pah!
There web form is the usual data scraping with a ridiculous captcha (that I finally got through)
My password has 13 characters including every known @ number capital and a starting base of 8 chars. Que?
My telephone number was not worthy, real etc, well clearly I do not know how to enter a London phone number [lobster top clue: I do!]
Am I too green? Hopeless? Just about able to run before collapsing?
Answers on a Toot to the usual incompetent political amateurs. Including me. :google_emoji_kitchen_skull_and_tulip_mashup:
✅ 🦞 :cyber_hacking:

Just heard of this horrific attack on Yom Kippur
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2025/oct/02/police-reports-stabbing-synagogue-greater-manchester-live
Absolutely shameful.
UK is an integrated and multi-religious society. Long may it be so.

Dear Friends who remember their passwords or know what their phone number is,
What is wrong with you? Or is it just me? (as I suspect)...
I can barely remember what seasoning to put on pasta. Oh wait it is coming to me. Jesus Cheeses from Italy, Pecorino Romano and freshly cracked black pepper. I don't even know how to crack my own password. Where am I gonna get... yep, yep, mortar and pestle and a bit of grind. Now I dis-member...
Luckily I have an excellent new notepad app to help with the confusion. Oh wait. It is an actual notepad 👍🏿
Stay safe everyone. Pasta la vista baby as the pharma gardener of Kalif-ornia used to say... Think I went wrong again. Former Prison Governor of somewhere or other...
Anyway I am off to the kitchen to have my 11's. Luckily I don't have a watch, so 7:45 counts as 11:00 :success:

Beautiful. Don't know what it is but I likes it ✅

Dear Friends of diversity,
#intro
lobster is my unreal name and I talk to myself, my computers, the birds and animals that come to the garden. I like seeing people's photographs, hearing their opinions and successes, where available.
I like to get up early and when silence is the prevailing norm. All my pets have died, been eaten or are imaginary.
I practice a unique internal martial art, with many unique features.
I recently died... and... wait, sorry, that was a dream. Have been using mastodon and the #fediverse for almost 0.25 of a day and find it excellent, compared to other disservices.
A big thank you to the software writers, kind people throughout, admins of servers. People looking out for us noobs, wer-critters, alchemists and general purpose weirdos...
