And the reason I included the rewild and decolonization tags is because you can see in these histories of fairytales how Christian cultural colonization of Europe has tamed these ancient tales, taken away their bite, watered down their power. And YET the core of these tales has survived eradication attempts, and adapted to a hostile habitat. Which is simply phenomenal. What is it our collective unconscious is trying to tell us? Why are certain symbols so important to remember?

This is all along the lines of other recent threads where I've unpacked how the artificial culture of whiteness has erased the real cultures that we all once had in our European homelands pre-Christianity.

There's this channel on YouTube, The Resurrectionists) that digs into the ancient origins of European fairy tales. It's really interesting. I'm watching the Frog Prince one right now. The best one I saw is about Jack and the Beanstalk, which is filled with deeper mystical meanings in stories that go back to the earliest history and ancient worldviews.

(Teaser: The beanstalk represents passing into the afterlife.)

I enjoy thinking about the collective unconscious, and this is a way to look directly at it. Fairytales are the memories of an "organism" that lives longer than hundreds of generations of human lifetimes. I'm one of its neurons. You're one of its neurons. And when we die, the fellow people (neurons) that we taught will carry on these meanings written in a language that few of us can speak....

...yet we all know it.

My XFce Win11-like theme under Linux #Mint. The theme has a couple of bugs, but overall it works well.

I found that XFce is the most themeable of the DEs, however it has started showing its age. For example, no connection of open apps to their launcher (they open a second icon), no "live" thumbnail of an open app, etc.

Old sunset. New dawn.

So, I did a thing. Actually, I did many things. Some of them were even new. But the main new thing I did was I refreshed the look (and feel) of my blog. It needed it. It hadn’t been updated since 2013, when I originally established the site. Which is an extraordinary long time, especially in internet years.

Positively antediluvian!

Here’s why and how I did it.

@nicole Edmund Gröpl's '\#theme/xyz' and '\#type/xyz' really clicked for me. As I re-worked notes I realized I was basically forming semantic triples. At a high level, my indexes and tags create Subject and Range. While at a working level, my individual **notes** act as the 'Subject,' and my **connected notes** act as 'Range.' Most importantly it is the PKM itself, Obsidian in my case, that acts as the ontology, or 'predicate.' The thing that shows relationships between objects.

Since I started my role as Head of Communications at Mastodon, I’ve been finding my surroundings becoming more and more… purple.

Our brand palette is a set of purple / indigo hues, and of course, I want to represent the organisation appropriately! 😄

I now have a couple of pairs of glasses with varieties of purple frames. Naturally, I also got a purple (sort of) watch band as well.

[side note – I am now a big fan of IOLLA, a Scottish brand, who made one of the pairs I’m now wearing regularly – they have brilliantly-designed clip-on sunglasses too]

I’ve also taken advantage of Framework’s new translucent purple laptop accessories, and have added a bezel and a couple of USB-C expansion modules in that colourway.

Working on being fully on-brand – new transparent purple bezel for my #FrameworkLaptop (and some transparent purple expansions too, not visible from this angle).

Oh, and I made a GNOME Shell user theme that uses the brand colours, with a little SVG Fediverse logo for the app menu, configured using the ArcMenu extension).

On a more technical side, I also made some small tools to create LibreOffice and macOS colour palettes out of lists of colours in text files. One hundred percent connected to the fact that I wanted to use the right colour scheme in documents and presentations 👍
