I'm pretty sure some of my birbsite acquaintances made me get Quitter and identi.ca accounts at some point, so I guess Mastodon is at least my 3rd try at existing in ~the fediverse~ o.O (Oh and Friendica is also part of it right? 4th.) But I never really stayed there and I don't think I actually understood what they where about.
Depression
@tamallez if you search for "dissociation" on this list there are a few links about managing it: https://mentalillnessmouse.wordpress.com/helpfulresources/
what works is different for everyone. personally, when it got kind of intense, i'd follow the edges of the room i was in with my eyes and that gave me some feeling of… existing. sometimes that was too much, and i'd just imagine them, or trace the edge of a table with my fingers. i hope you find something :)
@distelfliege danke :) *versucht das jetzt wirklich*
Srsly emotions are the worst
I want to sleep but what if I still have feelings about things tomorrow
fedidrama but something not rude and actually interesting
okay, consider my interest piqued: is this actually true?
fedidrama, allcaps rant
THE FEDIVERSE IS DESIGNED TO LITERALLY WORK WITH THIS EXACT THING PEOPLE ARE SAYING WILL KILL MASTODON
THE NETWORK ISN'T GOING TO SPLIT UP INTO SINGLE NODES
INSTANCES THAT WANT TO STAY TOGETHER WILL STAY TOGETHER
INSTANCES CAN BLOCK OTHER INSTANCES IF THEY WANT
YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GET MULTIPLE GROUPS
IF YOUR INSTANCE IS BEING BLOCKED BY EVERYONE YOU WANT TO FEDERATE WITH, PERHAPS YOU'RE WRONG AND SUPPORTING PRACTICES THAT SHOULDN'T BE SUPPORTED
wikipedia's pleas to not create hoaxes on wikipedia would be a little more credible if they didn't also have a 'hall of fame' dedicated to immortalizing the longest-lived hoaxes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia
you can do it but you end up not getting anywhere beyond that wall really, so why would you
Trying to do things is so similar to running into a (fairly fluffy but definitely sturdy) wall
*gets stuck in some muddy sticky stuff* ah yes, learning new things is fun and refreshing
also my brain has this thing that prevents it from thinking too many complicated thoughts, I think
which is very kind, but sometimes, I would actually like to think 1 or more complicated thought
i mean WITHOUT snow chains obviously, snow chains would make it a thing that both works and is fun / an exciting adventure
negativity, vague drug mention
time for me to leave the internet… I got super angry at a tumblr post that said people shouldn't write fanfiction containing binders with weed prints because they don't exist
…which is true-ish if you ignore shapeshifters custom fabrics
BUT also fanfiction isn't supposed to be realistic?? I don't want weed binders but I definitely want binders with kittens on them!!
and there is always screen printing if your character is even a little bit close to diy spaces!!!
