During the time that I was away from mastodon, I tried this whole social network thing called in-real-life. I didn't really like it as much, it can be a scary place.

Thing that I've learned - privilege can be intersectional in weird and unexpected ways. I had thought that I was good at navigating this, but over the last year, I've learned that honestly, it's always possible to learn more, grow more, and develop a more healthy respect for the ways that capitalism can mess you up.

@scarly so what you're telling me is I should wear a sunhat when I go to kill god

@Breakfast tbf, i feel like the sunhat one was def the most dangerous but there was also room for a baseball hat one and a big poofy hat one as well, i'm sure

@compufox Hiiii! Goodness, it's glad to be back. I was really, really, really way too stressed for a bit there. Hahaha. A long bit... Wow, has it really been 9 months? >.>

It's good to see that you're still here, tbh! I was nervous about coming back to this account due to how i might feel if too many people from before weren't around anymore. so, it's good to see that this isn't the case. ^_^

@phyrry Hiii! Life is going... Well. Things were extremely stressful for a while, then... They came back. Currently, I'm in recovery while trying to juggle employment. ^^;

Wooooooo! I'm still alive.

Concussions are serious business. Having now done everything that you could do to mess myself up after my own. I have advice for anyone that might get one of these -

o Don't go back to work asap is possible
o Do listen those that love you and are yelling at you to sit tf down
o Do avoid hitting your head again
o Definitely do not hit it a third time in a row
o Don't pick a fight with an indescribable eldritch horror in a sunhat
o Do praise rabbits and bunnies

i'm still alive! just trying to resume functioning in a capitalist society while grappling with continued concussion recovery

"return to full time" is a simple phrase that hides a lot of complexity and health challenges

@TheHottestPotato i think that's pretty reasonable, tbh - i've always felt like life comes before OSS stuff

and it's important to not feel bad about being away, since i mean - the whole benefit of OSS is that it'll be there when you're back.... i like that about it. kinda like a pleasant family home or somthn, but in software form

@TheHottestPotato that's pretty encouraging to read, to be honest :D

lamia isn't dead, btw - but i've had to step back for a moment due to returning to work full time after a concussion. i'll be back, tho. just didn't want to mix too many challenges together atm XD

Pronouns PSA 

Daily reminder that if you refuse to use someone's pronouns because you find them 'silly' or 'dehumanizing', you're playing into respectability politics.

Denying someone the agency to tell you who they are and how they wish to be addressed is dehumanizing and demeaning in a very -real- way.

guys that take the time to review bomb movies with women in them are pretty pathetic

at this point, i just assume that any cishet guys in my orbit are gonna get canceled within a year or so. and in most cases, yeah it happens.

another day another way for me to earn the "shrill female" badge from my male family members when i smack them for sexism.

@desvox @Chel @kaniini im super interested in any AP testing suites, tbh. is this related to lite pub?

@scarly upgrade your family by replacing all humans by mouses 🐁
