Mastodon: ON IT
The day I finally delete Twitter off my phone, #octodon goes down. Maybe the universe trying to tell me I should get off my phone?
Nahhhhhhh
A good warning for most of my work days, regardless of potential phishing schemes

Advantages of warm-weather colds:
- tea
- catching up on all of #Fargo before the new season
- tea
- that's it
@The_BFOOL on the bright side, trying to install various emulators as a lesson in clear and replicable documentation was a 👌 choice
Lead a workshop that went ehhhhhh tonight but don't want to be down about it where our students can see it, so hey, maybe that's why I'm here!
Lesson: I should always prep my lectures and not just wing it when it comes to giving tips on communicating with IT/support professionals
Dumping some Old Bay seasoning that my gf brought back from Baltimore a few weeks back into some mac and cheese and oh my god Baltimore why are you not the booming spice capital of the nation?
My roommate has one of those desktop lamps that constantly changes color and our upstairs neighbor's walls are a quite violent shade of pink, so when I come home at night I'm always uncertain what sort of bacchanalia I will encounter

Watching the federated and local timelines breeze by is a fascinating snapshot of collective consciousness. Thinking the #opensource archival community should host its own instance over here for actual communication - otherwise I have not yet figured out how exactly I want to add my voice to the multitude.
Is #NowWatching a thing over here? "Bus Stop", (1956), Joshua Logan, w/ Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray. Where my #filmbuffs at?
Back in middle school I was heavily involved in a #NationStates forum. Ditched that anonymous community for social media once Facebook came along. So far finding Mastodon a fascinating combination of those models
Writing an #introduction out of boredom (hello, laundromat Saturdays) and the chance to reflect:
Audiovisual archivist living in #NYC, interested in #opensource #tech and #education, particularly re: history of #movingimages
I've studied #RussianLit and #SovietCinema, used to #blog and #write more, professionally even, but haven't found the time much the past few years. Free time spent watching #movies, #reading, the occasional #videogame!
