Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

something, something, one of the many cruelties of capitalism is that it means people become objects to be consumed, something, something, man's inhumanity to man, something, something, my brain's overheated, i'm going to go play splatoon,

i'm sure that at a certain point you hit critical mass and instead of a personal expression, people switch to viewing you as an entertainer first and foremost. i've seen it happen to a friend i'm trying to drag on here (you've probably seen at least one of their family lore posts stolen on buzzfeed lol), and they're making that work for them. i just get too much stage fright for that and it was becoming uncomfortable. so i suppose the tumblrpocalypse came at an oddly opportune time for me.

although i know there's rarely such a thing as privacy on the internet, i am very much appreciating the mastodon approach of like... respecting the idea of privacy. one of the pet peeves that really kept sticking in my craw on tumblr was people passing around a heartfelt vent about personal circumstance like it was a funny meme. i was there to talk with friends, not to simply be consumed, you know?

i will say as i do some social flailing that leaving tumblr is something of a relief. my blog always was just my personal collection of whatever, but i had slowly gathered over 900 followers. to be honest that is a bit of a terrifying number.

i will say however that a 500 character limit is absolutely not helping my already gatling gun style of communication that annoys the piss out of innocent bystanders on discord. as penance, please behold these very good orbs

i'm either making friends by looking at my federated feed, or i am going to end up blacklisted, no idea which

1. take smartphone, 2. put floral on it, 3. make crochet doily cover, 4. ULTIMATE! COMMUNICATION! DEVICE!!!!

@jylr@weirder.earth i regret that my tacky lolita grandmacore ass can only give this one fav

@realtoddhoward you're welcome, it could only be more white if i covered the bar in mayonnaise and said it was too spicy

@kropotkhristian@octodon.social galaxy brain level to this is becoming an english major because bullshitting *is* applying yourself

"hey harp what was your musical taste in middle school like" unironically owned pure moods cds is about all you need to know there

listen. listen. my mom raised me on a lot of good prog rock. a lot of alan parsons project. a lot of also respectable rock classics.

she also raised me on some new age shit and the result is that if you diss some mannheim steamroller christmas tunes i'll come out swinging

@realtoddhoward i feel like being a white person i have an unfair advantage on this question but:

yanni.

EVERYONE PLEASE SAY HI TO FRIEND ZO @falsestars WHO I HAVE DRAGGED HERE IN PART. don't worry to keep my credentials here on computerfairi.es i hereby promise to nudge Zo towards creating a fursona immediately

....
(zo voice) my fursona is lothric actually,

oh jeez there's nothing quite like slapping one of the random face masks you got from an asian beauty pack on your wonderbread, mayonnaise white face, looking in the mirror to make sure you have it in the right place, and then realizing this Black Pearl Face Mask is a bit

shall we say
