Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

every time i see a bird, something switches off in me and i become a primal mess just sputtering "ooh bird" in baby talk like an uncivilized orangutan of some sort

tiny wistfulness 

years after its release, i caught up with a series and have finally read through it in its entirety after i got into it 6 years ago. the last installment was released in 2016 and a new installment (or another remake) has been teased, but... it makes me sad to know that for now, things have to stop here. i rarely binge things and feel upset about things ending where they were, but this series is too close to my heart for that. it's a lil lonely to have to wait for more.

So you haven't heard the bad joke about this person having difficulty getting a key into a dodgy lock but eventually succeeding? [punchline in cw] 

It was really forced anyway.

Reminder that if you wear eyeglasses, you are using the world's most common adaptive device. Examine your language about other adaptive devices like wheelchairs and canes. If you wouldn't call someone wearing glasses "lens bound" why would you say something similar about a wheelchair user?

so anyway: i'm surprised about it, but tap water is really great. like, wow, it is SO thirst-quenching, and i really don't see much difference between filtered water and the local tap water

art trade (art fight dot net) salt 

to clarify: at the time i didn't have any humanoid ocs and could not draw humanoids either (i still can't' draw them, but i *HAVE* a few with alternative humanoid forms), so that contributed to the problem a lot. (:c_(

art trade (art fight dot net) salt 

it's cool that the art fight staff is doing a community survey on how WE would rank attacks, but i'm still mad about how last art fight went :< nobody drew my characters unless i drew theirs (my give:receive ratio was ~2:1), and the system hasn't been changed to incentivize actually COMPLETING an art trade rather than just going around and gifting art. either way, i WILL participate next time, but i won't expect anything + will just draw kids' warrior cats ocs

mini-vent 

"this character has an unrealistic relationship with his older brother and an unrealistic personality for his upbringing and situation."
well then, i guess *I'M* unrealistic now, since that's all based on my personal experiences...

happy , everyone!! 💖 i hope everyone has a great day with their partner(s), and i hope everyone who doesn't have a partner likes discount flowers or chocolates. :p

i LOVE my birds... they are such good little seed-puffs... (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚

dumb technobabble mini-rant i guess 

i'm glad that another site i use updated a clunky, slow, and old feature, but now that it forces me to load entirely over https on dynamic pages with the same urls, the scripts that make the actual content viewable won't load. i'm not getting anywhere or doing anything on those pages like i used to be able to. gg, fellas 🙃

i can't believe that my aggressive campaigning for commissions for my moving fund already hit $100 :0 ! here's to mote good luck 🎊🎊🎊
