After sleeping on it, I think #Mastodon should rename β€˜instances’ to β€˜Communities.’

Instances feels too technical and I see even savvy people struggling to understand it.

I argue communities would make much more sense. It denotes much of the purpose behind _why_ this service has different instances, and many people will already be familiar with the concept from Reddit (the, what, sixth most popular site on the net?).

If I get the laundry now, I don't have to do anything for the rest of the day and can just dissolve into my writer boi and their fox friend in the sims4.

But like, I can only give rough %s to it now that I know what it feels like to be *not* disassociated so

Show thread

For years I've felt like for the most part I was 25-50% here and 50-75% disassociated unless I worked really hard to ground myself

Now I feel like that's flipped and it's magical

Show thread

Like I *knew* I'd always been at least *somewhat* disassociated at all times.

The amount of times I've been *entirely* in my body post-menses I can probably count on one hand.

I just didn't realize it was SO MUCH until now.

But ALSO the small of my back behind where my uterus was?

Suddenly NOT constantly tense or twinging?!

Stress will fuck you up, turns out

Less "vaguely everywhere" and more, "if I'm remotely stressed, these muscles in my spine ache", and "sometimes my wrists/hands hurt inexplicably for a little while"

Show thread

I've been so much less disassociated since getting my hysto. I have learned so much about my body and where/when pain pops up in the last 12 days that I have actually inhabited my skincage.

Way easier to keep track this way. O.o

I'm looking forward to being recovered enough to check out the new transit center bc it looks fucking amazing.

Post-op fomo sucks :p

My abdomen has informed me that I have done enough bending and standing for the time being :P

@knightly@awoo.space so far, absolutely!

It feels way more like a smol wrist computer than my pebble time did (but I didn't get a pebble until after they basically stopped being supported so I missed all the fun shit :P)

Omg the conversation also tracks (from mastodon to Twitter)

Does it work in the Twitter -> masto direction?

Show thread

I replaced the pebble SF ate with a ticwatch e. I wish it were slightly smaller for my bitsy wrists, but I otherwise love it.

I also changed out the band to be blue and more adjustable
