Okay. Apropos of no specific event transpiring elsewhere…

Trans folks are safe around me.

Enbies are safe around me.

Gay folks are safe around me.

Lesbians are safe around me.

Aces are safe around me.

I'm not perfect, but I'll do my best to listen, to support, to dive onto the hand grenade.

Oh for certain. "I Didn't Want to Get Hurt, so I Maxed Defense?" Those titles make me crazy.

Gimme titles like Urusei Yatsura, Project A-ko, and Bubblegum Crisis.

There's a fantastic scene in the OG Dirty Pair (1985!!) where someone says something about someone being trans, and I can't remember if it's Kei or Yuri, but one of them basically says "So? Who cares?"

Love that show.

And Rally Vincent is a fucking goddess.

You misspelled "genocide" there buddy.

The "mess" in Israel has resulted in over 67 thousand deaths so far, many of them children. The US helped fund it.

IDC where they are. Genocidal fascists are genocidal fascists. Not calling out their tacit supporters is letting them get away with it.

In case anyone is wondering, I'm for real up now. Just had an early lunch that was absolutely terrible for me, but comforting.

I got stuff to do. We went berry picking on Thursday and I need to make some jam out of that and the ground cherries from our garden.

Also laundry.

So… better do that.

Who the fuck wants to achieve greatness?

I prefer goodness. It's better for literally everyone, including yourself and the plant itself.

Greatness is for sequoias, mountains, and whales.

I don't want anyone to worry about me. I've been in this hole before and I know the way out. The Owlbear will be fine.

It just takes time and it sucks while I'm down here.

Good morning Bluesky. No, I'm not dead. Just depression doing its thing.

Took a nap after I got home from taking the dog to the park. Now I'm stuck to the couch like it's a glue trap.

This is why I don't work. Who the fuck would keep me on payroll?

Anyone familiar with #Space1999?

My partner and I are watching it an episode at a time on Monday nights, her for the first time, and me for the first time in a long time and the first time all the way through. It's on Tubi.tv.

Also, because I found out this exists (or, rather, will exist soon):

My partner and I are watching Space:1999. It's a pretty cool and very strange 2 season science fiction series from the mid 70s.

We just hit episode 4 and I tell you what, I like this series, but this episode is some hot fucking nonsense.

So Mastodon's a bit different as I've said. But a friend of mine (who specifically asked to not be credited by name) posted this super helpful guide for using the Masto UI.

It's neat because it's not only a helpful diagram, it's also a small insight into Mastodon's community culture.

Screenshot of the controls under a Mastodon post. The reply button is labeled "shitpost", the boost button is labeled "like", the favorite button is labeled "send read receipt", and the bookmark button is now labeled "it's a video with sound and I can't listen right now".

Note that what would be the "like" button is just a "read receipt".

Aliens!

Also, Alien!

The only two movies ever made in that franchise, and two of my all time favorite films!

I have "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" stuck in my head, so now you all must suffer.

Alright, this is a weird one…

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand.

You ever think about how depressing the chorus for Jack and Diane is?

"Oh yeah, life goes on/Long after the thrill of livin' is gone…"

It's an expression of despair in a song that also talks about "suckin' on chili dogs."

Yeah and Mastodon, PeerTube and all platforms like that are open source and designed to be the antithesis of privately owned bullshit. They have a better philosophy from the get go.
