hot tip: read books about sad, lonely immortals to feel lonelier and sadder

why do humans love rectangles

it's 3am and I'm hanging out, I've have had a great night reading and gardening and playing with my dog and enjoying drunk people outside, and I just love late nights so much :'-)

In my head just now I referred to my phone battery dying as "declaring bankruptcy"

I'm rubbing my shaved head against-the-grain on my arm chair and it feels like the most dramatic battle going on between my head and this chair rn

today I gestured wildly and water FLEW out of my cup

...just like i do every day

@XenonFiber Celeste! My friend recc’d it to me ages ago and I finally got around to playing, and it does not disappoint 👌

@milo holy shit immediately after posting this my ipad decided it was appropriate to voice-narrate the whole toot and it was kind of brutal

Tonight I realize that i’m filled with self-hatred over my own lack of excellence and my seeming inability to attain it!

Thing is, my definition of excellence is really attainable, and the self-hatred and meaningless reassuring words I tell myself (e.i. “I’m doing my best!” “Better every day”) is the primary thing holding me back.

Here’s to accepting mediocrity 🍷

@exo logged on, saw this toot, and immediately logged off with all my desires fulfilled.

@Siphonay if you want to, it’s never unreasonable to ask for a deadline
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Malin one of the most useful questions for me is, am “I comfortable being perceived as [binary gender]?” Because that’s mostly what it comes down to, in my opinion. If I lived alone in the woods and never spoke to other humans I would never know I was non binary because no one would be there to perceive and judge me.

There’s also a feeling called Gender Euphoria which is the feeling of joy and validation a person gets when they’re correctly gendered (opposite of dysphoria). It’s a big tell 💜

Hey guys, so... i’ve been talking to a cute girl online and we’re going on a date tomorrow 😳 Show more

@brook unfortunately women’s pants sizes are completely unstandardized and totally off the board, i’m so sorry 😂

When shopping a new brand of women’s pants, people just try them on, no other way to tell.

@exo this website is ART 😍 Great job on the responsiveness! & as someone else who has a colored border around their website, I love that touch.

I had a marvelous friday night watching Tekkonkinkreet with my best friends (some of who had never seen it!!!) 😍

@exo We all know that the aesthetic origins of vaporwave are based on 80s pop art/Memphis group, but the ideology of the vaporwave collage is nothing new either. In fact, during the late 80s--the era of which the internet vaporwave community nostalgizes/abstracts as a "[transformative] production and dissemination of art" (Lovejoy, 23-25)--Warda Geismar abstracted her own postmodern technological surroundings in what would be one of the earliest works of proto-vaporwave collage, "Untitled" ('88)

@Nurowyn it’s very nicely organized (others can be kind of overwhelming with organization of the different feeds), has an excellent light theme, and customizable font size. All I need!

@Nurowyn omg I pulled a “you do [very broad field] so you must know [very specific thing]” 😂 sorry!! What kind of science makes you nerd out most?

@leftymlb @leftymlb I don’t really like the desktop platform, but there are some sweet 3rd party mobile apps for mastadon. Right now i’m on Tootdon on my ipad and it’s great.

BUT ALSO: welcome :)
