hardest parts of getting used to mastodon:

1. observing how to use the CW function to properly set up and deliver jokes (instead of just shoving like 3 more funnies into the tags in a breathless mumble)

2. it's mastOdon not masAdon!!!!!!!!

"diet worry" is an excellent description of what my anxiety disorder feels like while i am medicated

what i have learned playing #Splatoon2 tonight, in image summary

goddammit, people, on my honor, WE WILL LAND THIS STUPID JOKE

i think it ceases to be a shitpost when you boot photoshop instead of just mspaint, but i'm going through with this anyway

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!!!!
