Hey folks!
I'm very grateful to this space over the last couple of years but I feel it's time to take the plunge and make my own one-person Mastodon instance, for a few reasons I won't bore people with.
I've already begun the transfer process, but if it leaves you behind, or if you want to follow for its own sake, check me out at @Charlotte
Thanks so much!
@leask I should! (Thank you for sharing this, it's cute)
@irisjaycomics Oh happy birthday!
@chel What a mess.
@chel Oh woof. Well, at least there's notice.
Is there a way to migrate an account after the server's shut off, or would one be SOL if they were on a break and came back to a smoking crater?
@chel Hmm, something happen?
And finally the Sporkman 23rd Anniversary Spectacular comes to an end with some EXTREMELY CANONICAL information. Tomorrow: Lit Brick! https://sporkman.com #webcomics
re: Death, musings upon.
@aesmael Probably a good idea. There was a time I had a health scare where I left a note for my parents to open upon my passing. I should update it but give it to my sister.
meta-discourse, ignore this honestly
@emaytch Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!

@emaytch Hmmm, is there something about the name I'm missing?
Death, musings upon.
I didn't know them, but the passing of a longtime furry figure who was only five years older than me, has me taking stock.
I find myself asking how the hell I would even inform everyone of my passing, because I've worked so hard to keep the barrier up between Offline Me and Online Me. For good reason - me and my family would endure genuine difficulty if word got out that I pretend to be a skunk lady on the internet, and that's just general background radiation. A targeted harassment campaign would destroy lives.
But this, feels like the cost of that; never letting the two mix, means I can never fully let someone into my life, and in turn, when I leave this life, I run the risk of being an empty spot that people always wonder about but never can confirm.
I suppose I could charge a few people with the task of informing everyone of my passing, but... what a grim request.
Or I could find somebody to love, but what are the odds of that?
@wasder26 This is all super cool to learn. Thanks! I'm always up for meeting new people.
@wasder26 @AdalwinAmillion Just a general overview for now would be great; any cool furries to follow (and any uncool ones to avoid.)
Don't feel obligated, of course, but thanks in advance!
@daveexmachina I swear. Do they procreate in there? Is there soft wah-wah pedal music coming from the bin when no one's around?
Skunk lady! Writer sometimes. Numbers person other times.
