@Gleng2 OK, but what if there's an account you followed, and you wanted to follow it, and it's giving you information that you want to have, but all the posts - the constant, never-ending stream that overwhelms everything else. I unfollowed. And I feel guilty, because it's important, but I just can't.
@patrickkbriney Santa must have said Elmo was being naughty.
NFT trading cards. Wow.
I know we always say "there is no bottom" but even we're surprised at the new and innovating ways #Trump finds to be the most pathetic person on the planet.
Why buy any digital NFT nonsense when you can actually see me live and on stage in London, from Jan-Apr next year?

@CoachMark@thecanadian.social Apple Play Store makes it next to impossible to sign up without giving them a credit card number, and they seem to have trouble with passwords. My old work phone was an iPhone, and I had to reset the password almost every time I logged in. Resetting a password on the Apple store is an exercise in blood pressure management.
Both those things are deal-breakers for me. Apple hardware is good, quality equipment, their OS is simple and intuitive, their company is... not.
Pro-Elon trolls are joining the #TwitterMigration so here's your regular reminder to block and report them immediately. If a server continuously fails to take action against abuse, block that server and demand your instance admin do the same.
Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.
Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.
@morethanmySLE Our money that the Republicans, under Reagan, started treating as their piggy bank, and all the talk about "ZOMG! Social security is broke!" is just their way of saying they don't want to pay back the IOUs.
@blue_heathen They're trying it in California. They want to pay solar owners to install batteries that charge up with the extra power from the panels, then distribute it into the grid during peak non-solar (after sunset, before bedtime) hours. The solar owner gets a small cut, the power company gets a bigger cut.
@msbw The future began, for me, when I was walking around the backyard of my in-laws' house on a video chat with friends using a tablet connected to wifi.
Sounds boring, right? Nothing special about that, who hasn't done it? That's the future. Everyone being able to casually do things unthinkable 50 years ago.
Musings on growing up as an #AltBlackGirl
I listened to mostly rock and new wave music growing up. It drove me crazy when my family would make fun of my for listening to yt music. Like, you sent me to a school that I was 1/3 of the black student population, you let me watch way too much Mtv (this was back when they actually played music all day kids), & y'all don't play music at home. Fuck did you think was gonna happen?
White people didn't invent nor do they own rock music (Country music neither actually). Which is why my #sotd for #BlackFriday is brought to you by Bad Brains.
Time for a proper #Introduction! π π
As my name suggests, I am a fan of #ScienceFiction! I was raised on #StarTrek, but I love all kinds of #SciFi and #Fantasy!
I joined here earlier in the great #TwitterMigration, so I'm still rather #NewHere.
I've also been a member of a few fandom message boards over the years, particularly one called #ExIsle! (Ask me about it sometime. π)
I also have lots of other interests besides fandom, that I follow & boost!
Hashtags to follow soon! π
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.
