ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: baby steps ✅ 🎮

you did your first fedi moderation action ever against a spammer on mastodon.social

As the effervescent and wonderful Jason Hickel said over at Muskville; "Thanks to a lot of tech bros and economists getting Very Upset about degrowth, this article is now the number one trending publication at Nature."

also, if you're ever talking to a stranger who doesn't speak the same language as you via email or whatever, write to them in your language, not theirs. It is infinitely easier to figure out what a bad machine translation of good text should say than it is to do that without having access to the good text.

I’ve had more interaction in about an hour on my toot about my recent experience regarding no masks in health care settings, and #longCovid, than I have from my friends in a week on two FB posts on my wall about long Covid.

I’ve been absent from mastodon for a while and I’d forgotten how good it feels to be validated (outside of a dedicated long Covid group on FB) and not dismissed for daring to say the C word.

As I type this my support worker is out picking up medical supplies for me as I’m crashing hard after going out for the first time in six months on xmas day somewhere that wasn’t a medical appointment or rental open house (we have to move).

I’m just as sick as I was when I actually had Covid. Congested, coughing, really sore throat, aching all over, weak, no appetite (I’ve tested negative three days straight). All because I spent a few incredibly chilled hours with 3 other people, none of whom were visibly or audibly sick at the time. This is my life now and my nearest and dearest can’t even be bothered to pretend they read a post or an article and hit the like button to show support. So thank you for reminding me that there are people out there who do still care about it and are taking it seriously.

i think i had just figured out why i have a hard time starting friendships and romance with people who are overly edgy and try to be offensive or ironic for shock/lulz value or are not taking anything seriously in general

it's the lack of emotional sincerity i think

like i cannot connect to you if the "you" i get is just a cardboard cutout or a bunch of soyjak/trollface masks slapped on your face

how am i supposed to invest into something that requires honesty with someone like you

Ik schreef een stukkie. Over mijn ervaringen van afgelopen 13 jaar met #rolstoel.
De ongeschreven regels die bij een #handicap horen in mijn ogen. Iedereen heeft eigen ervaringen. Dit zijn de mijne.

Hello from the oak tree in my kitchen window.

I'm probably never going to be able to go back to school because my blog is in the chatgpt training set and anything I write is marked by AI detectors as AI generated

"Why don't people want to pay for streaming anymore?" cry the companies who split streaming into 40 different services that keep increasing in cost while randomly removing content without warning, and shoving ads into our paid services.

Yup, sure is a mystery. A real head scratcher.
