vaguely political rant 

@lawremipsum@mspsocial.net Unfortunately, I'd say it's not *just* the "extremely online" mentality.

All news outlets essentially run on this same principle - they just feed you a perpetual stream of completely non-actionable information that mostly just makes you feel bad, and that *really* is only useful to journalists whose literal job it is to distill long-term meaning from it.

This is not meant to disagree with your toot in any way, of course, just to emphasize that this problem also exists outside of "internet folks", with much the same harmful consequences, and that it's pretty much an (arguably deliberate) cultural cornerstone in many places.

On the Icelandic fediverse/Mastodon I've started seeing people using the word "tútta" for "toot". "tútta" (pronounced toot-ta) is normally a slang term for a boob/tit.

Please reboob this.

Wrote a bit about woof.group as a social space, how I'm planning to handle the flood of new members this month, and what you can do to help: woof.group/about/more#growth

I also made a bunch of other things:

@Kuun@climatejustice.social (For those who are reading this from the Netherlands, one such organization is Stichting MEE, at least from what I've heard. I don't know their exact scope though, but I've heard good things from people who have gone there for help.)

@Greef@masto.ai Dit kan ik heel erg waarderen. ❤️ Je bent tot nu toe (helaas) een van de weinigen die zich dit lijkt te beseffen en het ook echt serieus neemt en zich erover uitspreekt, en het is een zware week geweest voor veel mensen.

@colapunk @Greef @Kuun
Comparing neurodivergence with playing life in hard mode, is very apt

@A8bit 🤔 I don't think it works that way, I think you need to actually follow people for any lasting federation that affects your timeline view?

@Kuun@climatejustice.social That has absolutely been the case for me. There should honestly be more support organizations that can do this for you.

why cohost is problematic (long) :boosts_ok_gay: 

@risottobias@tech.lgbt Oh, for sure, I have a lot of issues with how Eugene runs things as well. It's the difference between the "well, that sucks, you'll just have to deal with it" of a silo vs. "we don't *have* to do what this guy says" of a federated network that's important to me :)

WIP of some more lowpoly fox 3D prints I created. Soon I will have the gang back together again. :3

Printed on an #Ender3 and painted with acrylics.

They will be again for sale around the end of the year, with optional winter hats. I'm curious about opinions on pricing. I will attach a poll to a followup post, if you want to fill it out. ^.^

@rockandvulcan Hmm, dat zou niet het geval moeten zijn, al kan het zijn dat specifieke instances dat beperken. Als je bijvoorbeeld direct naar mijn profiel op pixie.town gaat, kun je wel de hele lijst zien: social.pixie.town/@joepie91

@Are0h @darius I hope it stays that way this time. I wasn't quite there for the past events around Black/Brown folks being run off the platform, so I'm not entirely sure how that happened, but none of it sounded good.

@Elizafox I think there's something going on around that with Third Room
