If you've always wanted to deal with the aftermath of half-assed decisions made decades ago by a perfect stranger, home ownership may be for you.
Hey, if you're not immunocompromised and don't have an egg allergy, GET YOUR FLU SHOT.
Also, vaccinate your kids. Against everything, even the classics we haven't seen for a bit (e.g. measles, mumps, rubella). Give them the HPV vaccine before they complete puberty, so that they have it before they're remotely sexually active.
Diseases are no joking matter. Prevent them where possible. In some places, measles kills up to 1 in 20 kids it infects. Some strains of HPV cause cancer. Don't risk it.

A much welcomed day off (kids, if you have a good vacation policy at your job use the hell out of it), reading at a local cafe. A passage made me laugh out loud, and I’m glad the place wasn’t too busy. Okay back to the coffee.
Life math: Weekend + unseasonably warm weather + having a toddler = Trip to the zoo.
Okay iTunes, you don’t understand Shuffle too well. I have one Pet Shop Boys album among however many thousands of songs loaded, why is every other song from that album? No real complaints, just... yeah. #whathavei #whathavei #whathaveidonetodeservethis
Person parked next to me at daycare pickup, tell me you’re going to go to a garage and get those belts looked at once you have the time and money. #screech
A fortune for today.

@going_to_maine Then Isaac Brock sneaks up behind you and yells THIS BOAT IS OBVIOUSLY SINKING
So much truth here. I'm a borderline coffee snob, but I won't say no to a "bad" cup of joe.

i raise my hands to the moon, standing in the middle of my circle of salt, and proclaim:
"yes, hello, i used the wrong kind of salt and now i can't leave, can someone help me"

At my desk at work, working (kind of), listening to Scritti Politti's Cupid & Psyche '85 album. Desperately keeping it together as I have the greatest urge to do the robot right about now.
There you go, a explicit list of topics requiring a CW in public timelines. https://octodon.social/about/more
Simple: put a CW on NSFW or violence in any way or you get silenced/banned.
Use more of them in an opportunistic way, for anything negative or depressing.
A couple of quick confessions:
- I will change the user pic from the current Mastodon Egg when I get around to it
- I'm a #mefite if anyone's looking. I don't post much but I'm there.
@yeti That one's pretty cool, although I dig the pixellated eldritch videos from the Ask the Dust era too.
First toot? Happy to find a less toxic, ad free space that people actually seem to be using. So let's give it a whirl...
