just a psa to no one in particular, bc this keeps happening to me and it's really frustrating:
white people, please consider that when you correct the word usage or provide brusque corrections of someone from another culture, you're punching down.
pretend every other sentence that you said was interrupted by someone telling you that you're wrong. now. pretend this is continuous and unavoidable.
that's how it often is to be a minority in a white space. the fediverse is a white space.
i appreciate it when @Chel reads spam out loud to me
no, really i do; honestly. there's nothing like a dramatic reading of scam emails to really bring joy to a dreary day tbh
bunnies are easily startled and need very carefully maintained environments to have happy lives.
meanwhile, crows are cantankerous, mischievous, and can be gloriously feisty. i mean... a group of crows is called a murder for crying out. loud.
mine is a match made in heaven.
my poor @Chel. i think i aged her today.
mastodon meta (fairly important)
gargron is now on record as saying that the mastodon api is only for mastodon
https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/101489738840502100
what this basically means is that the mastodon ecosystem of apps, helpful tools, etc will only ever be reliably compatible with mastodon with the rest of us jumping through hoops to try to reverse engineer it
so, in summary, a community that is allegedly federated actually does have an avenue through which one platform can control it. just fact.
makes u think?
as a random side note, while i was busy building stuff all day, i was still subjected to chels nonstop keyboard banging and occasional whimpers of terror, intermixed with various other sounds of torment as she "enjoyed" resident evil 2.
at this rate, if an actual zombie crisis occurs, ill be ready to act due to being thoroughly desensitized to the sounds of horror.
i'm going to be moving to my home instance at:

if you're interested in following me, then you can follow me there
basically, i really don't have the spoons for running my own instance atm and i do miss having an active local timeline (solo instances are Lonely)
tried to help a cis-in-law with coding homework. this. was. a. mistake.
i told her you can change variables after you make them. she didn't believe me. "what's the point of a variable if you can change it after you create it!? shouldn't it mean something?"
i was like, "it's.... variable......."
she ended up going to some random guy for help and he gave her an answer that is not going to pass the homework assignment but... and he told her that variables never change
someone. please.. help me.
@scarly has spent a decent chunk of the day assembling a custom insert set for gloomhaven that we bought
maybe... just maybe... the game won't take a half hour (at least) to setup and break down before and after every session now 😖
