Speaking just for myself: Even though I'm #nonbinary and I use they/them, you can still tell me to "go piss girl".

Too excited about breakfast.

I'm so excited about Zheng Yi Sao becoming a character on Our Flag Means Death. Talk about a girlboss. #ofmd


nostr:npub19sute258zn9y6cwsk3pymyswwgvjrwmcrju6p636upjqkvstl97s2zqr6f I got an ad for the film on the home screen of my TV today 🙁


The #podcast In Retrospect is a pretty interesting look at how historic pop #culture moments influenced us. Enjoying it so far.

That said.....


nostr:npub1sufwxhll8z3zpdg7gv0vw7yg4pqmnltv88m2pw4a4cstshj7vh6qp0lp40 absolutely true


If your advertisement is bullshit, just say it really loud or in a British accent.

Doctors and airports, just wtf y'all. I will go to my grave boggled by this decision.


I absolutely don't understand why anyone would rawdog the air at any medical facility in 2023, when comfortable masks exist.


Got a fancy brace to wear. The X ray techs went wild for my manicure.

nostr:npub1x0l97mm8s2lrdwyhy88rv2g8dxwe5qzv4g8mdzehll0ejay78ygscfzdgu I basically injured the ligament. It's not painful but I need to see a specialist to decide how best to fix.


nostr:npub1x0l97mm8s2lrdwyhy88rv2g8dxwe5qzv4g8mdzehll0ejay78ygscfzdgu I will probably need a special brace for it and maybe an orthopedist


I managed to randomly jam my finger at game night yesterday doing nothing in particular. It hurt for a second and now is a little crooked and can't be straightened. Doesn't really hurt. I think I just sprained it most likely. Got it buddy taped and otw to the doctor.

Even though it's extremely mild, hand stuff freaks me out. It's one of the few things I consistently look away from in horror films or similar.


Just finished Reservation Dogs. Fuck that show was good. Easily on my top 10 show ever list.

The good thing about #ClimateChange is there's more scientific reasoning to take naps during the middle of your workday. Just kidding, it sucks the planet is on fire, but naps are great. https://www.texasobserver.org/siestas-naptime-extreme-heat-climate/

nostr:npub1clzdyw7qss5zj403jdqpkq3fr9aayycx5mdy3wd8gw4lmsrsa7ts6y6xx2 I won't cry over the death of a nazi, for example. However, I don't trust the modern capitalist state to have the power to decide who lives and who dies, though if it currently does have that power.

nostr:npub1uwpetwzrmsgtce0pydatxly4dujjl99exujcz69xtsr4red9q7vswtuuy9 thanks for your thoughts, I do understand and agree with the need to make these spaces safer for POC. Running a server for work has given me a small glimpse of the vitriol that's out there on an unmoderated fediverse


nostr:npub17zhh6p7357g4u0d44chzfq9tucxl0x2rcxv90rjvadwzwch0jeuqcmmrxh thanks for that, I do appreciate their opinion on stuff.


This post makes a lot of compelling arguments that #TheBadPlace block list going around is, well, badly assembled. Is there any kind of rebuttal to this? My instance is listed despite having an active moderation team with multiple POC members.

Road trip day.


A Giant Dog's new album is the retro technofantasy-themed rock opera I've been waiting for my whole life. #music


Of course I write this as a outsider because they fediblocked my instance ages ago for... Reasons. I still see lots of great art on here at least.


Mastodon dot art seems like a fucking mess and seems like it's been that way for awhile...
