Introducing the Tinker WriterDeck OS!
Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck: A device designed solely for writing.
No distractions.
No internet.
No apps. No games. No social media.
Just writing.
The Tinker WriterDeck is very light weight and specifically seeks to lower the barrier of entry to creating writer decks. It converts older, reused, refurbished, or inexpensive laptops into a dedicated writing machine.
A digital typewriter.
The Tinker WriterDeck sits on top of a "headless" Debian Linux image and boots directly into a console based text editor.
We're using the Tilde Text Editor because it is a simple text editor, has an intuitive User Interface, and allows for customized color schemes for light and dark modes.
Operating System download and instructions on how to convert your laptop into a dedicated writer deck for free are found here: https://tinker.sh
See below for an example of the writer deck in light mode and dark mode.
If anyone has any questions or needs any help setting your laptop up, let me know here!

"时间在户外有一种奇异的面貌。在太阳之下，时间好像是静止的。只有当每一分钟都是一种对身体的折磨时，你才会发现原来一个小时里真的有六十分钟，而且下一个小时并不比这个小时更接近黄昏。受钟表支配的室内工作者们从来没有跟时间正面交锋过。他们的秒针在打字机的“哒哒”声中走得飞快。当打字机静下来时，他们的一天也结束了。我们这些在户外工作的人，每天都在跟永恒作斗争，其间只有我们的手是忙碌的；我们的头脑在日出和日落之间可能已经变老又再度年轻；未来可能在一个小时中被重写，乌鸫的一首歌还没唱完，希望可能就被杀死又重生过了。我们确切地知道一天有多长。在几个月漫长的煎熬后，我们因为许多的沉默和许多的惊奇而苍老困惑，回到坐在办公室的朋友身边时却发现他们完全没有变化，只一脸单纯地从时间的表面滑过。"
— Stella Benson: 独居, pp. 127-128

Just a quick reminder...
If you’ve read my book, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' I’d be grateful if you left a review wherever you prefer.
This isn’t a plea for 5 star ratings; it’s a request for honesty. Books are personal: I dislike plenty, feel neutral about many, and love a few. Whatever your response, reviews really help. A wall of 5-stars is wonderful, but it can also feel suspicious to readers. A mix of perspectives shows the book is being read seriously.

#AynRand is quoted, misquoted, praised, and vilified — often by people who haven’t read her.
_The Ayn Rand Reader_ offers excerpts from her #fiction and #nonfiction: her ideas, her voice, her terms.

"The Gift & The Legacy: African American Philanthropy as Power, Purpose and Promise, Taroue W.

On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder is a valuable thing to have by your side in these times of increasing fascism.
Each chapter begins with a short bit of advice as it's title, followed by a sentence or two on it's potential importance. The rest of the chapter provides concrete historical examples.
Each chapter is short, and the book is only 126 pages. Possibly the most valuable thing that you could ever read.
I'm going to be posting the first page of each chapter, because of how important I think it is to share these ideas. Please boost if you feel them useful.

Book number 3 on my #StephenKing re-read journey.
This was a lot of fun to revisit. Another one I read decades ago. This has so many of my favorite short SK stories in it. Many many classics.
This book turned out a remarkable ELEVEN movie + tv adaptations. Absolutely insane. Talk about legendary.
Really hard to pick a favorite but Battleground is so much fun.
