Lagrange is a nice Gemini browser, with an opinionated UI. Amfora is a good looking Gemini client for the terminal. https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/

Knock me down with a feather.

Really want to ditch Facebook this coming year. The only thing that keeps me there is local community work and activism.

Still not able to kick the Twitter habit. Can't manage more than one social medium. Life is too short, and I'm just not that social.

So, the wrong side of Saturday night/Sunday morning not the right time to be trying something new.
