I like #mastodon more and more as the weeks and months go by.
That means I like YOU --- yes, you, reading this now -- thank you for being here!
Today, I stood in a windy pasture giving handsome Pete lots of rubs and scratches. He was in a very affectionate mood. Getting a hug from a horse is one of lifeβs sweetest moments. I left there covered in hair and dirt, and smelling like horse; but filled with happiness and peace. Sometimes the phrase βhold your horsesβ is best taken literally. #horses #HorsesOfMastodon #Peace #Happiness #HoldYourHorses
I feel confident that I could learn to adapt to that world. I'm flexible that way.
Need your attention for a moment.

FWIW to the (thankfully few) people who complain at me about ads on the Abandoned America site and the probably-more who complain inwardly: I do understand that it's not a great solution, but giving up on the entire project isn't either, and I had to choose one. It was ads. Hope you'll forgive me for doing what I had to to keep bringing histories, podcasts, and photos of places I think are special and important

Depends on how reprehensible the behavior was.
Mel Gibson? Hard pass, till the end of time.
Will Smith? Eh, I still enjoy Hancock, and I'll watch it again if I want to.
I have no idea. I see them and marvel that this piece of entertainment I just watched goes so many different places.
Twitter is the NYT native environment. I dropped my subscription in 2017, when they covered Nazis:
Look! They pay their bills! They go to work! They watch TV! Nazis are just like us! But they're Nazis!
The kompromat is strong with this one. Lindsey is afraid it'll get leaked.
Why does Lindsey Graham always seem on the verge of tears? Why is there so much terror in his voice? And what's with the look of utter desperation in those bleary, bloodshot eyes of his?

Howdy #mastodon, I'm Crag!
Making a new introduction post for this instance.
I'm a washed up roleplayer and science nerd. I sometimes do mildly interesting and educational things related to VR, roleplay and VRChat. Finding various ways to escape reality from my engineering day job. xd

I don't recall.
On the advice of counsel, I plead the 5th.
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.
