I'd lost all my hard-earned Kerbal Space Program flights a year ago in a hilarious work-computer kerfluffle, and only started rebuilding this weekend. Pretty soon I'll stop confusing the thrust key with the staging key.
I dreamed I took my little dog to work with me and omg I wish, I wish, I wish.
VORE!
good god, y'all...what is it GOOD FOR?
It is claimed Ernest Hemingway once wrote a six-word short story that could make people cry for a bet. The wager was ten dollars, which Hemingway won with the following:
Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.
My partner sneezed so hard her huge headphones shot forward off of her head onto the floor, and I missed it because I was looking at this screen. Everyone get off the Internet now, we're missing everything!
bathroom story. cat. not lewd. not gross.
When we adopted our black cat Lilah, she didn't show herself almost at all during the day, in part because of the dog. But in the night if I rose to pee, she would emerge from the darkness and slip into the bathroom for love. We called it Special Bathroom Time. Years later, she moves freely and seeks love whenever. Special Bathroom Time remains an infrequent but treasured wee-hours ritual.

Pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our having dinner out for work.
I don't know which one of you has been in my kitchen, but next time you should make yourself at home and stay for dinner. https://awoo.space/media/npiqGTja6JNxhcwwD38

The hidden costs of "working" at home (cats)
My cat just walked across my keyboard, managing to:
* open someone's toot in a new window
* click Print
* select "Print to PDF"
* change my keyboard layout to Hebrew.
I assume she's just trying to join meow.social, but come on.
Frère Jacques, frère Jacques,
Awooez-vous? Awooez-vous?
â-oueu...
A-whew! Good night, wolf pups and Witches.

❕ Hey, new folks, noiob here, I am (currently the only) mod here on awoo (we're pretty smol). There's been concern about influx due to the #mastodown stuff. I'd like to remind you that we are not "yet another instance" but an experiment to provide a safer space than the mastoverse currently is.
That includes us having a stricter federation policy: You will only see posts from whitelisted instances here (currently only mastodon.social iirc).
Hi everyone. Some of you will already know me a little as "anummabrooke" at Mastodon.social. Thanks for keeping this space warm. If I follow you, I know you might not follow me; everyone's Home feed is their own garden.
I dabble with interactive fiction and programming/scripting languages, play some games, and in my day job teach history and literature to graduate students.
Here's my Masto post where I verify this account: https://mastodon.social/@anummabrooke/1575387
Thanks!
