Limerance Gushing 

I am compelled to talk about this because I woke up too early and she's still asleep and I can't stop thinking about how much I love this precious fucking creature who came tumbling into my life like the gentlest tornado.

Huff. Go read her queer scifi novels about furries who upload to a digital afterlife to escape a not-so-great future and find themselves caught up in the dramas of trauma and politics and art, or something.

Gods. Panamory is a hell of a drug, man.

It's drawn one of my headmates out of eir shell and given em so much space to figure emself out after a decade having no fucking clue.

Both of us have struggled with inhibition and vulnerability throughout our lives, and now each of us is tugging on one another. It's like a game of personal growth leapfrog.

And we write so much together. We're worldbuilding, plotting character arcs, dealing with bittersweet feelings and vulnerability and writing love poetry in godsbedamned conlangs.

Y'all, I am weak for this skunk. She is so good. I am 100% still in that phase where I can't go five minutes idleminded without sighing a wistful sigh and just going .oO{ Skunk... }

It's mindmelting how mutual this relationship has been; we have spent so long dancing around this bush together and the entire time we have been reveling in this petal-counting giddiness.

And, gods, we're perfect complements for one another in so many domains. I could puke, it's so saccharine.

@pup_hime How I'm feeling in the middle of cementing a new relationship. Huff.

@pup_hime Even the wrath of God cannot compare to the pain of my dog's ire burning in their eyes as they look up at me.

@pup_hime if a dog wore pants would they wear them like unfunkos your pops or like unpops your funkos

@pup_hime all I wake up to is "heart disease" at the top of my tl and my only thought is "this is a threat"

@pup_hime there's an error when you attempt to follow a user from an instance that is not federated with yours, but it just reads as a generic error message instead of explaining what went wrong

given the 403 and not, say, 404, i wonder if it might actually be some other thing, but ???

re: ??????? 

@wolfgang ohh, that's fun, my brain had not connected the dots here between accent and IPA/pronunciation so im sitting here trying to read it with my very much monolingual midwest american english struggling because i temporarily forgot other dialects and languages exist

re: ??????? 

also dawt... dote?? /'dʌt/?

re: ??????? 

@wolfgang now i have to figure out what the correct pronunciation of wolfgang is because my default is wolfgayng, and the only other one that sounds plausible to me is wolfgong

Long 

@wolfgang I've only been active on one blogging style social media at any one time (and I seldom use them in general anyways). awoo is my first instance after bailing from Twitter years ago, and although I hopped around a few other federal instances I have grown to love its allowlist approach to federation (bc seeing assholes in comments and such ruins my entire day). With as good as glitch is and how wonderful noiob's attitude has been with topics dear to me, I haven't wanted to move.

Cyberpunk dysphoria 

Remember when we were younger, and we fantasized that cyberpunk was this awesome desired thing?

Where you could plug yourself in and digitally craft your entire everything, or have some spliced organo-mechano body sculpt so that you could appear outwardly as well as you felt inwardly, or just how much your overall appearance was modifiable?

Remember how excited you got inside when you fantasized that all these things were completely normal in that world, and that it would be worth it despite the utterly bleak dystopian backdrop that leeched all of the empathy, compassion, and civility out of being alive?

We're not there... we've DEFINITELY got the latter dystopian part, and we're still working on the first half, but the general world is not qvite as receptive to our crafting of our own images as would be ideal.

Hold on to those that are accepting of it. Hold on to them tightly.

This is how we survive the problems of the latter... how we navigate the dystopia.

We are better than the inhumanity of this world, because inside we are bright-neon, rainbow colored, shiny metallic, soft and comforting, hard and unflinching, loud and proud, qviet and caring, glowy-eyed beings.

We craft our existence despite being surrounded by these crumbling ruins of society, because who we are is all we have. They cannot take that away, because we won't let them.

You are worth every last gasp of breath that's inside you, every tear of sorrow, every dazzling spark of elation, and every shred of compassion.

I don't know if you needed that reminder or not... I just know that I did, today.

*Hugs softly*

@SkunkyLass These errors are a result of the fact that awoo.space is on an allowlist (as opposed to a blocklist, like most instances).

There is a federation request form, but whether or not it is accepted will depend on things like the instance's policies and how their administration has handled things in the past.

re: context (~) 

@pup_hime tfw reki is mom actually

@pup_hime i see this and im like "im literally gonna put bread in the toaster and nibble on that just for the bit"

and then im sitting there realizing i wasn't eating because adhd and now i have had a snack

@saintajax33 awoo.space is an instance that, unlike most, uses an allowlist instead of a blocklist. You are encountering this error because the account you are attempting to view is on an instance we aren't currently federated with.

This is much less common on other instances, but the result is that you are more likely to be exposed to content that violates your local instance's policies. For most of us here, this is a feature and not a bug, but it's not for everyone.

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
