@lyncia if it's helpful, you might consider making a 'comfy only' ghost account instead where you follow favorite artists, cute animal pictures, etc, and can go to that when you just want to scroll until you get enough dopamine to move on with your life.

I think the most important thing I can say is:
If there are kids/teens close in your life that might be Having Gender Feelings, or have expressed that they're trans -- acceptance is good but not remotely enough. Don't just be 'cool' about it. You need to be actively loving and supportive. Because they are trying so so hard, and being met with casual acceptance may be less than they need even if they don't know it. They are dealing with grief, and fear, and confusion, and new joy, and so, so vulnerable. Talk about that with them.

Vegetarian, non vegan food 

I put hoisin sauce on my egg and peppers hash this morning. It was a good idea.

Food, gifts, children/babies, weird 

For the holidays a friend of mine was given a bag of tiny plastic babies. This bag of babies has now drifted amongst the bachelors for the last few months.

Today, they're discussing making pastries together and it took me a little while to realize that they're optimizing baked good recipes for hiding plastic babies in.

I love my friends.

@thufie oh! We're on a bit of a rest cycle right now, so I'm not sure that that would change soon. Sorry about that. :(

@forestjohnson this is absolute art and I am sad I'm only seeing this just now. 100% made my morning. Top tier goofyposting.

@drwho@hackers.town aaa!! This man's posts kept me on Facebook for way longer than I wanted to be there. He writes really incredible stuff!

Glad to meet another fan, my Garbage Witch hoodie played a seminal role in me getting involved with Cyberia.

@zigg I tried to set up something similar on windows and had a truly miserable time with a headset device. I'm very glad this worked well for you! I hope these features become standard soon.

Join the clowns in #CircusInPlace as they start another week of acrobatic training. You'll get to see some cool stuff, and we'll be grateful for the company.

It's a weird-win and a win-win. Possibly a weird-weird too.

The fun starts at 8pm UTC-6, and runs all night:

@SuricrasiaOnline I suspect this is a ghost listing.

..but I could try to get someone local to confirm, if you'd like. It's only about 200 miles away.

re: Valentine's day, asking for music submissions, please boost 

@futzle I'm not too picky, but are there any other tracks you'd suggest in particular? Any themes are welcome. :)
