@starbreaker @starboy It was surely named only very recently. There were references to acts and behaviors but this article that you may be remembering asserts that the notion of a "normal" heterosexual sexual identity to gauge others off of is quite recent. Plus bonus James Baldwin reference 💯 http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170315-the-invention-of-heterosexuality
Probably the best thing for me about this place (mastodon) is that after every day with time spent here, I go to bed happy since someone made my day better, and I've hopefully made someone else's day better, as well. I really like that. 😁
On that tone, have a good night, mastodoners? 😀
I'd love to find a Mastodon instance that is purely rated G. Anyone? I want a safe place for my son to type out his fun facts. He can give fun facts for hours on end about history and science. It gives me headaches for a couple hours of that so I figured this would be a good place for him to release his knowledge.
@tcql Keep it together. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Trust the others to take up the slack when you are flagging. We're all in this together
@tcql I can spare this for now:

But seriously you can't let your supply get that low. I thought you took this seriously
"Will Mastodon make any money?" scream the journalists, who have forgotten the joy of building sandcastles on the beach
@Averly Murakami? 💯 "Kafka on the Shore" is one of DavidABradley's favorites. 😸
@lindseyb Oh wow, I didn't even notice the shirt. That's amazing. You sure aren't fucking around for Monday here
@lindseyb I will never tire of these pentagram disturbance reports 😹
Okay, book is finished, cat has wandered off of its own volition. Finally time to get to bed. Catch you all tomorrow 😸
Considered saying 'every time I open a window to toot' but felt that undercut the message 🙃
These follow bots are like flies that slip into the house every time I open the front door to interact with you all on here.
At that point yet again were I could finish this book tonight, but I know I really ought to just go to sleep. But really, how can I be expected to just stop now?
Plus, I have a cat on my lap and it wouldn't be fair to anyone to move right now anyway. Looks like that seals it.
😪

@lindseyb You totally should. It's a nice change of experience to have around. And after listening to garbage vinyl I've had for ages from garage sales, it's amazing how good nice new releases actually sound
So I wrote a thing about Mastodon

@CobaltVelvet I'm a bit curious how all this would do running on jruby. Looks like there's some posts out there implying sidekiq is supported and gets a boost. So many possible things to try to look into about masto this weekend I don't know how to pick 🤔
@CobaltVelvet I haven't been using ruby for a while but that's how it used to be with the GIL/GVL global locks. A quick search implies that's still how it works, so you're right that you're only going to get concurrency when a thread is waiting on I/O, etc. So you'd probably be better off starting more processes if you need to scale and you think CPU is becoming a bottleneck as far as I can tell
