I'm at the point as somebody who runs a single-user instance where I don't feel comfortable posting images to my account because the images are already on the blog and reposting them would just waste disk space on my server. I guess this would make more sense if I started expiring old posts from this fedi acccount but I stopped doing this because GoToSocial doesn't do it automatically and I stopped using mastodon-archive for this account because I have access to the sqlite.db for this instance if I really need to search for something.

So, if you will, two images of #Hippeastrum flowers.

Here is a picture that shows flowers opening in front of a light black surface, a dead TV screen. They are beautifully red and white, with thin veins visible.

And here is a picture of a full frontal flower with my home-office desk visible in the background, and a corner of shelves with books and games. If you're a nerd you might spot Planescape or Advanced Squad Leader boxes and other role-playing game books. If so, let me just say that I have an alt account over on tabletop.social; see my profile for the link.

Anyway, plants and birds are more important than computers. I just wanted to say that. 😅

Ah… here's one of the things GoToSocial still doesn't do: post editing! 😿
The missing link to the home office picture:

There are more pictures on the blog, but the two I mentioned are the best. 🤩

Having posted essentially just the alt text for the image without the actual image I sort of feel intrigued by that experience. Perhaps I should lean into it!
