the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

it makes me kind of sad that a lot of people find this a less comfortable place and i want to make this place more welcoming to people, especially black people who seem to feel very unwelcome here

but i don't know how to do anything about that

i feel like we're really privileged on here and i'm not sure why that is (i mean i know we're going to be less targeted because we're white but)

but we've never seen a lot of the Bad Stuff a lot of people say there is on here, and the most we ever interact with bad actors is seeing people post block recommendations

maybe we're just not too well known, maybe we're insulated by being on awoo, i dunno

we've always found this place pretty comfortable though

@ziphi i want to cheer up the shark

@terrana @sharkNserg It just recently got sold to another company that's not one of the big ones and that, as we understand it, has basically told the tumblr people that they're in charge, the owners aren't going to make demands of them, or something along those lines
-F

@sharkNserg we haven't been on tumblr in... probably over seven or eight years

might consider getting on it again and making a new account and stuff, now that it seems to have been freed from Corporate Hell

@LexYeen we are! And quite welcoming of smooches from friends as well <3

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz is that not what social media is?

@heatherhorns @chimerror Surprise bonus legs!

i wonder how hard it would be to make a new floppy disk today

you certainly wouldn't be able to do a homemade 3½" disk, the mechanisms and hard plastic would be hard to work with

but a 5¼" disk might be possible, if you can figure out a way to get a good magnetic coating on a sheet of mylar or kapton or something

@BatElite bats are also cute things!

i want to hug a fox

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz this sounds a lot like our social anxiety

@kotep pretty sure windirstat at least is closed-source made by a software company
-F

@kotep when the software company doesn't bother to hire a graphic designer
-F

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz pretty sure adhd is a very common symptom of autism (though it also occurs on its own)
