I hate that posting into the void feeling. I blame that more on the microblog format more than any particular platform.

This is a pretty fun rabbit hole to dive down. The para-biblical book Jubilees retells a lot of the Hebrew Bible stories with added details including naming the patriarchs’ wives. A more interesting reading is that because they are omitted in the Genesis account, quite possibly a lot more people were also not mentioned. This led to the “pre-Adamite” doctrine, that Adam and Eve were not the first humans. Of course there’s also the Talmudic account of Lilith which has gained a lot of popularity recently.

Networked, autonomous local communities.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.
