Our Lady Joan Mastodon spoke to us with feeling. Follow my friend Samuel Pepys, she said to us as we gathered by the fire, he is the first and the finest of all tooters. There is no tooter like him. Even his stylistic faults are carriers of truth. If we could all toot as my Samuel toots, just for one day (she wiped a tear off her eye as she said this), the Great Algo would be gone forever. We miss our Lady Joan. She loved as she hated, with wisdom and passion, and she loved so much more than she hated. #JoanMastodon #Pepys #TheFirstAndFinestTooter @samuelpepys@mastodon.social
