I got bit by a seagull today! it's much less hilarious than being bit by a duck--I still have the marks. baby bird wildlife rehab volunteer writeup will post... later!

spoiler alert:

cute yes, but it's ear semaphore for "betray your species and join us, humans"

a long post about the sun 

for those of you who don't live in the pnw, imagine sunlight.

now, imagine that sunlight is much more orange than it should be-like it's sunset orange at 10 am.

it's intensely uncomfortable, cause you know that the sunlight that comes through the window at that angle is supposed to be white-yellow, but there's this weird orange light coming through your window at 10 am, and it's wrong, at it keeps being wrong and orange throughout the day

that's what it's like

Show thread

A man is at a friend's funeral. After the proceedings, he approaches the widow and asks if she minds if he says a word. "No, of course not," she replies. So he grabs a glass and taps a spoon against it to get everyone's attention, and when the muttering dies down, he clears his throat and speaks: "Plethora." He puts the glass back down and everyone continues their conversations. The widow turns to him, with a tear in her eye. "Thank you," she says. 

"It means a lot."

@Aradia@mastodon.social @starkatt ugh, I hadn't thought of it being *that* smoky... that may have something to do with how much I'm sneezing today, too. >___<

Hey, everyone what lives in the PNW! It's summer, which means BC is basically entirely on fire once again. Make sure not to spend too long outside and to take proper precautions because there's hella smoke in the air and it's not good for you!

Bun opinion on CW use 

@KoBunny @emanate @Heffboom_Konijn someone using a CW as a "this is a harmless joke thing you should click/LOL TRIGGER BAIT" trick would earn an instant unfollow, mute, and block from me. I haven't seen it done that way, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's common usage on instances that aren't federated with the ones I use for Very Good Reasons. :|

@orrery @emanate @Heffboom_Konijn I use it pretty much exactly as I used to use the cut tag back on LJ--trigger warning, long-post warning, you-might-not-be-interested-in-this-subject warning--and sometimes just to be silly, or because I want to make sure that the person reading is willing to make the minor investment of clicking a link before seeing what I wrote, rather than glancing across it randomly.

Hey, everyone:
It's primary election day in parts of the US.
The best and easiest way to have your voice heard is to go vote, so if you have an election today, VOTE!

instead of PM and AM, i suggest a new notation

o'clock and o'fuck

"I heard Mastodon was failing."

Mastodon isn't focused on a profit motive. If your paradigm insists that anything that can't be monetized is a failure then sure, Mastodon willingly and cheerfully fails in your eyes.
