wrapped on a very long very satisfying day of filming.
so worried, so sad, not in a bad or unwanted way, i just wish i could do more good.
Part of me is like "remember how you were just starting to socialize on Mastodon?" while another part is too busy having anxiety about WWIII.
@Sylvhem Months have passed now - but things are finally beginning to look up! Thank you so much for the kind words. 🔮💜
Hey fellow caviomorphs & proboscideans. I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but if you're in Brooklyn/NYC this weekend, come and see my band (along with 2 actors) performing a new version of the Persephone & Hades myth this Friday night at Rubulad in Brooklyn.

Everything is quiet and sad.
@myrrh whats interesting is that when they converted that small cinema to a burger king, they left the movie screen in the back part of the restaurant, so for a while at least (maybe up until about 1999), i think you could watch SOMETHING projected on it (maybe not whole movies, but TV? MTV??) while you ate your fast food! They used to have kids birthday parties etc. in there. even now you can still see the part of the restaurant where it used to be
@jk i love this story so much. i live on america's west coast, where there's a culture of erasing and rebuilding rather than integrating the history of places; it's so weird and ugly to me. i love when places - even corporations - acknowledge the relationship of past and place. so fascinating.
@jk at least "burger king" rhymes with "cinescene" ... that's all i've got. nice work tho!
@tekniklr I mostly stick to checking the local feed because I feel a weird twinge of guilt every time I ask the server to retrieve the federated feed 😂
@Solobasssteve I know when I first signed on, mastodon.social was having some trouble handling the load. On principle, I like the idea of not putting too much control and not too much responsibility/cost in the hands of any one sysop.
Also, I like that the local timelines feel like little neighborhoods.
Also, federation doesn't appear to run flawlessly yet, so local toots from the users I folllow seem to more consistently show up than federated posts. That'll hopefully change.
No human being is truly happy; we live our lives in shadow. (Still haunted, hours later, by @imagotheatre's production of Medea)
@Richard_ermen Cool. I'm excited for this thing to really start sizzling.
Update: I still haven't decided where I'll land semi-permanently in the woolyverse but I'm happy for now hopping around between the couple of instances that I am most drawn to. I'd quit mastodon.social altogether, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like other instances pick up as many posts despite being technically connected via federation. Growing pains?
Ditch the birdsite and join us for a Mastodon-exclusive week, starting this Monday! #woollyweek
Friends help each other move.
Real friends help each other keep their addresses out of the public record.
Cool trivia: UFOs were actually real, but then in the mid-1980s someone figured out how to make them stop appearing
@nothingpaintedviolet their little earrrrrs *dies*
I wonder if it's possible to adapt Mastodon for role-playing purposes
like have an instance that's its own world with its own rules and each user is a character in this world
maybe change the codebase a bit to incorporate rp-friendly stuff
