My day to day is a constant struggle to do at least the bare minimum to get through life. I don't understand it. I don't care for it. But there it is. I survive. I do my best. And I try not to hold myself to standards set by people who don't deal with the same shit I do.

It is literally impossible to explain ADHD task avoidance to people who don't experience it, I think.
It has to sound absolutely insane to just sit around, filled with dread and anxiety, not doing a small thing you "could do any time" that really needs to get done. And to just continue that way for hours, days, weeks, months, even fucking years.
Like, who lives that way? How can anyone live that way? (I live that way, but I don't know how I survive)

Fedi meta, fash shit, subtoot
By noping out on his own, the fascist ultimately did more for the integrity of the mod team than the mod team did.
I hope the they sit with that for a bit, really think it through.
@lisawilliams Thanks :) I'm pretty happy with the setup now!
Thanks to @pixouls I now know what happened, I think! I mixed some home compost into my potting soil, and in the past I've composted... tomatoes! So most likely these are seeds that survived in the compost all that time.
Which, funnily enough, means that I now have tomato plants as a type of weeds
@pixouls Oh! The compost seems like a credible explanation... thanks!
@electron_greg Thanks! And yeah, I hope the slugs don't end up eating all my plants this year 😅
@pixouls Hmm, what sort of plants would you be thinking of?
(I'm in the Netherlands, if that helps)

Meta, fosstodon
"the fedi is supposed to be a friendly, welcoming online space, right? But the fact is, it isn't."
Apparently we're supposed to be friendly and welcoming to people who hold far-right, fascist, beliefs, but if they're not friendly and welcoming to us it's fine I guess? 🤷♀️ One rule for me, etc.
(Re. The Fosstodon admin, Kev, table-flipping his way out of the instance: https://kevquirk.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-the-fosstodon-drama . How dare marginalised people ask whether they're safe. So rude of us.)
These are tomato seedlings, right? I'm not missing something? Could they possibly be something else, like a weed?
(I ask because these are showing up in areas that I *definitely* didn't sow tomato seeds in, nor any similar plants...)
@electron_greg Lots of things! Beans, tomatoes, lettuce, chard, cucumber, also an attempt at zucchini and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff.
Not everything is doing well yet, so it's going to be interesting to see which ones I end up actually being able to plant and get results from! And then learn from that for next year.
@rallias Well *that* greenhouse was only 40C! The 50C one was the other, smaller one (whose flap wasn't open)
@rune Apparently! Better hope none of the greenhouse components are made of PLA

@joepie91 what are you building? An industrial PLA composting facility?
@adam And as is the standard with these kinds of posts, zero words are spent on exactly *why* people were holding them responsible, and instead it's called "drama", and (in this case the linked post) talks a big game about "neutrality" and "not letting politics influence it" but without ever *quite* specifying exactly what politics those are...
Honestly it feels to me like all these "I'm quitting fedi because you were mean to me, the admin" posts are basically interchangeable and you could swap them out and people wouldn't be able to tell
@rallias I can't hear you over the sizzling plastic of the thermometer

They target trans folk because they think cishet folk will look away. They're counting on you not defending those who aren't like you.
They target Black and Brown folk because they think white folk will look away. They're counting on us not defending those who aren't like us.

Just learned about pretendo today.
Pretendo is a free and open source replacement for Nintendo's servers for both the 3DS and Wii U, allowing online connectivity for all, even after the original servers are discontinued
This is so cute and good!
