Our Flying Spaghetti Monster in Heaven,
Help us resist the urge to engage with online trolls,
Who seek to stir up anger and division among us.
May we remember that our words have power,
And that responding to hate with hate only adds to the darkness.
Instead, may we be a beacon of light,
Shining love, kindness, and understanding in all our online interactions.
Give us the strength to turn away from negativity,
And to choose compassion and empathy instead.
Lead us not into temptation to argue and fight,
But deliver us from the trolls who seek to bring us down.
For thine is the power to heal and unite,
Now and forevermore.
Bless us and protect us with thy noodly appendage,
R'amen.
You should change it up, occasionally. Clap once, loudly, and say "OK, great meeting!"

If you're tucked away where people can't trip over you, I don't see the problem.
#GunControl doesn't work...except in #Italy #Spain #Japan #Canada #Sweden #Iceland #England #Denmark #Germany #Australia and other "civilized countries" who don't let the #NRA reinterpret their #Constitutions
πͺπΊπΊπ¦ We are with you.
We have been with you in this existential fight from the beginning.
Ukraine has become the centre of our continent.
The place where our values are upheld, where our freedom is defended, where the future of Europe is written.

No matter how low they sink, they're always willing to dig deeper.
Just when you thought you'd seen the sickest shit #Republicans had to offer, here comes #Alaska State Rep. David Eastman. He thinks it's good for society when children die of abuse, because dead children can't grow up to use government benefits.

That's why I pulled out my thick, double-breasted wool coat to wear to work. And my insulated gloves.
Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to becomes aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
Because Iβm clearly incapable of not oversharing on the internet, I figured Iβd post a photo of the rest of my apartment to prove that I legitimately live in a studio apartment and not a fancy mansion so please donβt come rob me because I donβt have anything worth stealing and besides I set up a bunch of booby traps Home Alone style.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
