I once saw a pack of #wolves
running single file along the forest line. I whipped out my phone to take a video. They all seemed oblivious to our presence in the distance except for the last wolf, who stopped and stared for a moment, then carried on. What a moment!

@lednabm i like my gods giving me food and comfort, not taking my money or telling me to kill my brother
@StefanThinks Make financial penalties a percentage instead of a flat amount.
Happy Mother's Day to the folks who are mothers or miss their mothers or anywhere in between. I've shared this one before but it still felt apropos.
The figure in the doorway is based on a photo my grandfather took long ago where my grandmother is half visible in the doorway. The house is local and unconnected to family but the two came together here.

@Zumbador
I don't know if I've been blocked yet. Although it wouldn't surprise me. What I have noticed is that some, although by no means all, who have come from twitter seem to have a hell of a bite instinct and will reacte quite viciously at even the hint of something they don't like. I had to block someone the other day, the first time ever, because of how abusive they got. For me it is the position of absolute last resort. But for others it seems to be their go to move, maybe because they have that option here where they didn't before.

Insert the 'Why not both?' meme here. I got hit for the first time here today. Reported to the originating instance (no surprise it's mastodon.social) and then blocked.

A little spoken-about thing w/ being #ActuallyAutistic is the sensation you feel in your body when you understand that the friendships & relationships that you FULLY thought were important weren't seen as such by the other side. The realization that you read your life SO wrongly.
#AskingAutistics A lot of us have grown up being told to "be more concise", to not be "overly detailed" in how we explain things. Do you feel like that has impacted your ability to understand how to explain to people how you feel?
I've noticed that due to being told this, when people ask me how I am, I just simplify it so much that it ends up being "fine thanks!" even when I'm actually feeling more: "I'm actually really struggling right now"

Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing.
