@nolan Follower counts have no actual value to anyone. I have 45,000 fans on FB and can't afford medication to keep me alive so what is the fucking point? :blush:

Making friends with strangers online is fun because if any are stabby they can't stab you so you can keep being friends.
I've started allocating time, at least a week in advance, for working on projects, playing games I want to finish, cleaning, chores, etc. and putting them all into the same calendar as all my social events and such. While this has made it way easier to understand exactly how much time I have and when I'm likely to get things done, it's also realized how much shit I've agreed to and how little time in a week I really have. Not sure if it's made my anxiety better or worse.
@brwarner That's partially why I read The Economist religiously. I know reading it won't tell me everything about anything, but at least I have a cursory knowledge of what's going on elsewhere in the world. The key is understanding the limits of your knowledge and not assuming you know anywhere near everything.
*looks at twitter* oh good, i got followed by a tech exec and three more brands
*looks at mastodon* i got followed by 8 witches, 3 queer furries and 7 cybrepunks
The more I read the news the more I realize I have no _real_ clue what is actually going on. Then again, why would I? Why would I expect to be able to understand the complexities of countries half a world away from a handful of articles that my own countries news publish, especially when I know no one from them and have never been to them.
Maybe I should just focus on local news, and settle for a cursory understanding of a world I have little control over.
This is a shoutout to all the admins on new instances who, above and beyond the technical efforts of keeping things afloat, go the extra mile to ensure that new users feel welcome and included
Funniest United Airlines tag I've heard this far, "United Airlines: We put the hospital in hospitality." #unitedairlines
@emdeesee Do it! You're helping to normalize the presentation of pronouns which makes it easier for those who need to specify.

The interview is adorable, the result is money for charity, and there are pictures of a dog having the time of their life.
Cute all around.
Recently I've found myself taking a break from serious/thoughtful television and just found myself diving onto a king sized bed of fluffy, comfy, and sometimes beautiful trash. Rewatching shitty episodes of Voyager and started Teen Wolf for the first time.
And, oh my god, is Teen Wolf beautiful beautiful trash.
