@realcaseyrollins I'm not aware of any other Gab instances that aren't defunct. There's Gab, Gab Develop (which is what I'd like to be on, but I don't have a good reason to request it and they have inconvenient domain blocks in place).

Way back someone had made a backup instance for when Gab was totally broken when they first ported, and then someone tried to make an instance that was "Gab, but without Nazis" at one point, but I believe both are dead. @freemo

@dsfgs The alternative suck ass tbqh. It's unfortunate, but have you seen how much spam is on Gab even with the best measures? I think it's probably necessary to keep the site going. Although I agree that in the long term it's best to move away from them. Way too powerful as is.

Good first person account of couple’s experience being infected with Covid 19 while on the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Worth a listen. If already posted feel free to remove.

If I'm lucky, over the summer I'll be able to buy both a new phone * and * a laptop.

COVID-19 and the myth of productivity, ppl afraid of being bored when confined at home 

We were trained to push away "hobbies" as acts that don't make us useful to society. We were convinced that work and employment were the only fields where we could find worth, purpose, growth and delight.

I don't blame you. It took me several months / years to be at peace with doing nothing, enjoying a good knitting session or even to be able to read again without feeling the urge to pick my phone up.
