Me: wtf is this plug, I don't need it *unplugs it*
Also me later: "hey why is the wi-fi not working"

Happy #PolarPrideDay 🏳️‍🌈❄️ Das Überwinterungsteam der Neumayer-Station III in der #Antarktis schickt Grüße zum Polar Pride Day!
 
Selbst hier am Rande des antarktischen Schelfeises hat die Bedeutung von Vielfalt und Inklusion in der Wissenschaft einen hohen Stellenwert. Polar Pride erinnert uns daran, dass dass jeder in der Polarforschungsgemeinschaft willkommen ist.

Interior replacement stickering at NS Techniek could be improved upon.

Y'know since the world is clearly never going to calm the fuck down I need to make actual time for fun coding and writing, for making art and music, for witchcraft and ritual

All the things that make me feel whole can't just keep living on a backburner while I wait for the world to feel safer

After seeing an article about how no one wants to look up from their smartphones anymore, I wrote a post. It's much longer than this screenshot but it was my favorite line.

hey fedi. asking for some help here, boosts would be greatly appreciated.

one of my partners a few months ago got stuck in a shitty situation where her disability benefits - including health insurance - were cut off. as a result of that, she lost access to her doctors, including the one that prescribed her antidepressants, and she's not going to be able to get that health insurance any time soon. right now i'm looking at paying cash for her to see a doctor and get that prescription, with the hope she can get by without seeing the doctor for another year or so, but that's not the preferred solution as it requires me to be there to pay every time, and it's not a guarantee.

is there a way she'd be able to get that antidepressant without a prescription? she's on Duloxetine HCL (aka Cymbalta) 80mg (she was previously prescribed 40mg, but as 2 pills taken in the morning), but she also said 60mg worked. i'm willing to pay cash for it, and although i'd like to say money isn't a limiting factor, we'd prefer if its on the cheaper end (although i don't mind paying more to get it in bulk if it's cheaper long-term, as I only can see her every few months, due to distance.)

so, i was browsing https://isp.netscape.com/ at 3am like a normal girl in her early 20's does, when i noticed something weird... what the fuck is this "download browser" thing? it downloads a file called "AOL_Netscape.exe", what the fuck is that

spent today messing around with #blender #geometrynodes

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

@coffee4danz I'm blind and for me alt text is the Big Special Thing about Mastodon. If someone posts a meme, I'm in on the joke. Someone shares beautifiul moss, or their cat, I'm in on the beauty or fun or whatever. I'm now 62, and this is the first time I entered a community and a culture where people grant me this kind of access and community. So grateful for people who do alt text.

pros of the internet:
- you can find and become friends with cute gays across the world!

cons of the internet:
- you can befriend cute gays across the world and now you badly want to fly to south america to hug them

@coffee4danz it reveals the bits that the poster thought was important; I especially enjoy when that's very different to what I thought was important, it's like seeing the image from a different angle. It's delicious, like seeing in another dimension, through someone else's eyes. It enrichens :)

Mastodon has introduced me to the joy of reading descriptive #alttext. I take in the image then read the text as icing on the cake. It can really add extra personality to images.
