Anime character Sailor Moon from the 1990s anime series, shown in close-up with her signature blonde hair styled in twin buns with long pigtails. She's wearing her blue and white sailor uniform and holding a red device or gadget near her face. White text overlaid on the image reads: 'I'll just warn you now. I don't know how to use a computer.'

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

ok i do enjoy some of tswift's earlier stuff but this take is pretty darn funny
A Threads post saying: I'm sorry but seeing the swifties crash out over this album apparently being even worse than usual is so funny. Like who could have guessed a billionaire crying on an album about how hard it is to be rich and famous in the middle of a genocide and a fascist takeover wouldn't be a hit

"Dog" by artist Diego De La Rosa. oil on panel, 10 x 8 inches 2022.
Painting: "Dog" by artist Diego De La Rosa. oil on panel, 10 x 8 inches 2022. A black dog with a calm expression sits on a dusty street, partially in the shadow of a stone wall. The dog has a faint halo around its head and wears a red, decorative collar resembling wings. In front of the dog are several reddish vegetables and a tipped-over sack spilling grain on the ground. Further down the street, two people walk away, while the background shows palm trees, utility poles, and buildings under a hazy sky.
