One of the things I love about Mastodon is that I can go on an angry political rant, make a joke about butts, talk to a very nice lady about Zucchini, chat about obscure Star Trek references, and learn about fossilized Sea Monster teeth all in the same 24 hours, in the same place.
What did you Mastodon today?
New study kills the myth of βMan the Hunterβ - women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies.
Information about forager societies (allowing to reinforce the myth) mostly came from ethnographies written by 18th to 20th century white Euro-American men who visited communities and followed the local men around, often paying less attention to whatever women were doing.

Staring at one big list can be intimidating, and there are no clear "stop" points. Multiple lists make each one smaller, and more manageable.
YMMV, obviously.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic That's a really good idea actually. I am usually the same with big tasks or projects (just hit it hard all in one go) but I like the idea of being able to.. not do that.
I think the reason I prefer the "hit it hard" approach is because I don't feel like I can trust mysef to get it done if I try to do it in smaller bits. But maybe if I do set myself specific interim chunks to do, so I can treat it like multiple smaller projects and do each in one go... Thanks for the idea!
@ScottSoCal @simplemycelium @actuallyautistic
Well, while your in there, you might as well just bust out the wall and replace everything else right?
Next time you tell the story you should dryly joke that week three was the hardest due to the lack of showers and the AQI alerts forcing you to keep the windows closed.
@RaymondEdwardF @simplemycelium @actuallyautistic
I'm not sure you'd want me to. That started because a $2 pin holding the shower door broke. By the time I was finished that $2 pin had cost me $2400.
@ScottSoCal @simplemycelium @actuallyautistic Well done! Do you want to come over and remodel my bathroom now that you have the process worked out?
@simplemycelium @actuallyautistic
I did a big DIY project. Normally I take a few days off work and hit it hard until it's done, but I knew I couldn't do that, here. It would take lots of time. I broke it down into lists. Weekend 1, I would finish a, b, c. Weekend 2 I would finish d, e, f, and g. Weekend 3...
It worked for me.
I have a difficult task to do, and it's going to take a couple of weeks - but obviously I can't work on it contunously. But my brain would *like* me to be working on it continuously, because until the task is done I have a nagging warning light in my periphery whenever I try to pay attention to anything else.
How do you let yourself relax or take a break even though there is something unfinished or stressful in the background? (because let's be real there is ALWAYS something unfinished or stressful in the background, and I feel like my brain NEVER lets me have a break because there's always something else I should be paying attention to.)

VOTE. Do it. No excuses. Anyone on here making excuses not toβgets blocked. The stakes are too high for this bullshit rationalizing of not voting. VOTE, DAMN ITβit is the ONLY thing you have as a check against power in the US. USE IT. Too many people DIED for YOU to vote. Iβve blocked someone here talking BS. And to the blockee: what the hell are YOU doing to address the electoral college other than talk about it on here? GOP wouldnβt suppress voting if it didnβt matter. #BlackMastodon #Mastodon
