I'm also very tired now and unsure how to language
good night, woolly elephant thing, good night
@distelfliege yes!! :> :>
And it's actually comfortable, and that is so exiting. I haven't had a comfortable binder for a very long time.
I also made another one that didn't really bind smaller, but it's not that comfortable, the material is weird. but it is also wearable now. And I have another one of the comfortable-but-too-small ones to improve, AND I'm going to return the one that I bought and get a larger size and then I'll have FOUR BINDERS OMG.
And THEN I sewed a piece of fabric into the back of one of my too-small binders and it worked and now it fits and I am such a proud cat (with a very flowery binder) https://computerfairi.es/media/6HVLNpDhqt9IYcicNmU https://computerfairi.es/media/xVK1N_VoorQNXhD_j14
I cut my hair (well, re-did my undercut) and honestly I'm always too lazy to do that for months so the amount of hair looked as if I had shaved an Actual Cat
@crecca https://twitter.com/TwidereProject/status/855866742358261760 - for the beta channel you have to scroll down on the google play page and there is something like "register as beta tester", and you do that, and wait a few minutes, and then you can update :)

I have to admit that so far, when I compare my TLs, there is one big difference.
I can only describe it as #MastodonSoWhite
I'm not sure if it is an instance thing or everywhere the same.
I'm not finding the accounts? Or do they even exist?
I'm not looking for the right hashtag? Are these conversation even taking place here?
I feel like we are missing out on great people.
@cassolotl@cybre.space it feels a bit overwhelming, but i might get used to it! I made separate home tabs for all my accounts and deleted the shared one that i had for my 2 Twitter accs, that makes it more manageable. Replies don't seem to work yet (now trying if adding the instance manually helps…) which is sad, but it is beta, so.
You have to register to be a beta tester on the Twidere Google play page, then wait a few minutes, then you can update :)
Everyone read this incredible essay by @u2764
"Mourning Mastodon"
https://medium.com/@alliethehart/gameingers-are-dead-and-so-is-mastodon-705b535ed616
If you're wondering why I stopped working in MastoDev, and why my posts about how development already includes marginalized voices are no longer applicable, then read that essay because it gets into all of it super fucking well
