Includes a Mountain Lion equipped with a bucket of snark and squirrel who loves explosions far too much.
Foster cat update: he reached out and touched my finger with his paw. Swoon. https://octodon.social/media/Sic6FMNyqWoyYLfuuTI
Hooray! One week off of work. Two freelance projects and a bunch of other stuff I need to do, but still, it feels nice.
Dude and I decided we're doing the Iceland book gift thing for Christmas. Three books each. I'm excited.
This is Wolsey. He has mild cerebellar hypoplasia = he wobbles a bit. Eggs are his favorite snack. https://octodon.social/media/3gEL3B5E4j7u4MQd_W4
Last night I started #GetOnOurLawn, aimed at *established* Mastodon people, to help make it a nicer place for newbies. Here's an incomplete summary:
- Use hashtags, so new folks have something to find.
- Report bugs and request features, so new people have a good first impression usability-wise.
- Report people that newbies shouldn't have to deal with.
- Be encouraging when new people propose good ideas.
- If you don't have anything nice/encouraging to say to someone, just don't say anything!
Good morning!
Oof, today ended up being a lot of fiction copyediting.
Hey everyone, I'm working on a guide on how to thrive on Mastodon. If youve been here for more than three months, I'm curious if you would have any advice for a new user to get them to stick around and not bounce off.
All comments welcome, feel free to boost.
Foster cat is kind of sitting on the futon with me. Kind of.

I got to run on #snow this morning. *big smile*
"TIL an Icelandic tradition called Jólabókaflóð exists, where books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents and the rest of the night is spent reading them and eating chocolate"

Foster cat just sniffed my toes.
It's the little things.
