I also have a Tuta account which is where I use my custom domain addresses (the number of aliases is unlimited there too, and I have so many!).

From what I’ve read, I’m not sure Posteo has a solution to this issue. I’ve read about a workaround, but also that it might have some issues.

But I do love Posteo for their stance on privacy and use of green energy, and the price is so reasonable. I’m thinking I might just have half a dozen or aliases there: one for mailing lists, one for online ordering, one for non-essential website logins and so on.

Big fan of Posteo here too. I’ve always found their customer support very responsive and helpful.

The only drawback for me is that they don’t support custom domains, which I can understand. I’ve yet to wrap my head round how I could use use a Posteo emal address alongside multiple aliases on a custom domain (perhaps using something like addy.io or similar).

So glad that Bonnie has made it home. You’re amazing for doing what you do, and it’s so lovely that the vet covered the costs. Wishing you and Bonnie every good wish!

I couldn’t have said this any better. What you did and are doing is amazing, and these little ones had love and warmth and care from you. Who can ask for more than that?

Thinking of you and Bonnie.

From just a quick look so far, it seems really versatile. Thanks for the work you’ve put into this!

Derek Bailey(1930-2005) (scatterarchive.bandcamp.com)

It’s hard to believe that Derek Bailey died 20 years ago tomorrow. I listen to his wonderful (and frustrating!) music frequently.

And so I’m off to play a personal favourite from his many solo recordings, Drop Me Off At 96th, a 1994 CD on the Glasgow label Scatter. It contains recordings from two gigs in May 1986 and June 1987, beautifully recorded and with a brilliant track “Interlude” where Bailey’s unique comic timing is very much in evidence.

So sorry to hear this. What a sweet little boy 😢

I don’t think I could do what you do when this is one of the possible outcomes of fostering. But thank you for doing what you do!

Not One Not Two Openings and Samādhis CD (Discus Music, 2025)

Wonderful lyrical improvisations by Geoff Bright and Hervé Perez on alto, tenor and bass saxophones, plus voice, and all “shaped by Buddhist practice and meditation”. Experience the “unconditional letting go” which gives this music its seemingly limitless reach and the musicians a shared connection in the moment of being present.

I agree it’s definitely worth following hashtags liberally for things you’re interested in. Your feed should really open up with that.

But it’s also worth doing a longish #introduction post, adding hashtags of things you like and pinning that to your profile. You might already have done that but you can always do a fresh one. People will also boost introduction posts so that might get your profile out there more.

I have an introduction pinned on my profile if it helps: https://beige.party/@brian

I’m still not seeing the downside here, because…well…cats.

I want to live in a country where “cats jumping out” is what they’re warning people about!

Donnie does this thing where he puts one paw over his eyes. It’s just too cute!

She’s such a beautiful little one. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a loving home.
