#GetOnOurLawn
Lots of people need lots of different content warnings on posts!
Here are some suggestions on them, not all of them necessarily common:

Selfies and/or eye contact
Food
Gore
Sexual content (some use "lewd" for this, I avoid putting "nsfw" but that's another post)
Public Displays of Affection (pda)
Politics and news (with the places it's relevant in the tag)
Mental health issues
Money

Also, if you make jokes where the content warning is very misleading, put (joke) in the CW!

birdsite discussion 

hey is there an alternate user interface for birdsite that has:
* only one column, like default
* no nonsense on the side
* automatically updates the feed, like mastodon does?

it's weird having birdsite in a different window (and different desktop) to computerfairies... I'm so used to pressing gt to switch to birdsite, then gT to switch back

heck I'm back on my "multiple browser windows with dozens of tabs each" thing

except I'm trying to limit tabs this time...

boost this status if you are a lizard, like a lizard, or are using a computer

And "meal" and "meal" come from different roots.

"meal" (n. 1) as in "food, time for eating", is from *me-, "to measure".

"meal" (n. 2) as in "edible ground grain", is from *mele-, "to crush, grind".

nb erasure, a common mistake 

if your reaction to the gender binary is to take the male/female binary and turn it into a line from male to female with "agender" in the middle, you... have missed the complexities of how gender actually works...

you need a two dimensional graph at the very least
