Reminder: every Mastodon instance is run by a human being and administered by a small group of human beings (and that small group may number 1). Attacking an instance means attacking the person who runs it.

This reminder is especially relevant if you're a mastodon admin. You don't get to pretend that other instances are monoliths when you know that your own isn't.

@maple on tomorrow's world and other future looking tech shows they were always showing shirts made with shape memory stuff so you could just point a hairdryer at it to get the creases out

I can only imagine that still not being available is part of the conspiracy

Gay as in "whether or not we're of the 'same gender', this relationship falls well outside the scope of what's expected by cishetero-patriarchy".

clarification for non-brits

Sixth form is where you go if you're between 16 and 19 and got good grades in school

I ended up leaving after the first year of that after my AS levels because reasons

musk, tesla

@noelle there are theories that musk wants to tank the stock price through this so he can afford to take the company private which he's apparently wanted to do and he would still be able to remain CEO of a newly private tesla

I very much doubt that's the case but musk is certainly dumb enough to come up with that sort of stupid plan
