Would it be possible for people to set up lists to auto-CW certain words, but only in their interface? So if I never want to hear about croissants, anytime someone posts a toot with that word in it on my feed it chows up as CW: french pastry, but on others' feed it's just all about that almond filling, no CW?

I realize I'm talking about this at the level of a kid playing with action figures, but I don't get why Google never broke down and bought twitter or snapchat and saved them from trying to "innovate" their way into profitability.
Google is absolutely desperate to have a relevant social network and couldn't make one on their own if their company depended on it.
cancer worries
@Silviu if it helps, I imagine cisbros having to get something similar done to their testicles and it makes me giggle heartlessly. I don't know if they do, they probably don't, but the image is still kind of hilarious.
@BertL ooh, we have downy, hairy, and pileated woodpeckers, and flickers to round them out! I love pileated woodpeckers, I'm always so pleased when one of them visits the suet cage, they're gorgeous birds. my porch is three floors up, so I don't get many ground birds--there's a couple that have learned that I put birdseed on the porch and will make the trip twenty feet up, but there's a lot of low ground and scrub birds I don't get to see often. ;)
cancer worries
@Silviu oh good. still augh. I had a mammogram once, it was a bit painful but not too bad. mostly it's just kind of hilarious. "well just flop that up onto this platform, and now we're gonna squish it between two plates and take pictures, this isn't awkward AT ALL"

One of the places I was looking at to build my cabin was well inside bear country. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but on second thought, I may be building on stilts if I do go there

@BertL it's definitely a case of "well, humans have already screwed up the situation, might as well keep screwing it up to help the critters we've displaced." XD
in winter we get *lots* of robins. the crows, juncos, woodpeckers, and chickadees are year-round. and we occasionally get flocks of bushtits, which are *adorably* tiny!
@BertL I'm in Seattle, WA. the Anna's hummingbird has extended its winter range up here, through all the urban and suburban range along the coast, because humans keep putting out hummingbird feeders and make year-round nectar available. http://www.seattleaudubon.org/sas/Learn/SeasonalFacts/Hummingbirds.aspx has a good page about Seattle hummingbirds in winter. at the wildlife rehab center, I'm told they get more hummingbirds in winter as people find them downed and unable to fly.
dreams
@leafnoodle I once dreamed about making a computer game based on the "uncountable number of cats" idea, something about having a house and every time you go to another room there's a new cat, something something "given x number of rooms in the house and y amount of square feet per cat how long does it take for the house to be full of cats?"
dreams
@leafnoodle I frequently dream about departed cats. and other cats. to the point where I've just shorthanded it in my dreams to "we have an uncountable number of cats." literally uncountable; any time you count them, there's always *one more*.

So when I found out about Smaug lizards my first reaction was "same"

saw the coyote again--now less sure that it isn't Scruffy; if it is, Scruffy's been doing better this year and is looking, well, less scruffy. but this one has black "freckles" across its face that I don't remember Scruffy having. also, Scruffy looked more like a husky-coyote hybrid; this one just looks like a scruffy coyote. maybe Scruffy2?

@guerrillarain@witches.town is it bad that I'm giggling helplessly at this mental image omg
mood (-)
@zebratron2084 that is a very specific experience that I cannot recall having had, but it sounds like it *really* sucks. :|

@guerrillarain@witches.town *pffft*HAHAHAHAAHAHA
@emanate mostly it's experience, just having the window open and checking what's going on when they're making noise. I can make out the "hey it's me" and alarm calls, and I *think* I can tell the difference between "danger on the ground" and "danger in the sky" calls. putting out food for them regularly is a good way to keep them in the area--not too much, just like once a day, otherwise you'll be flooded with them constantly. XD
@guerrillarain@witches.town yeeeessss, both, really. XD
@guerrillarain@witches.town that's... mildly alarming. o____o
aaaand just now heard the crow "asshole alert" and looked out to see a coyote trotting along, hoping for handouts from the person down on the first floor who throws out bread bits twice a day. her ideal is to feed the ducks, but most of the time she feeds squirrels, crows, and coyotes... I don't think it was Scruffy; it was scruffy-looking, but not in the same way that Scruffy looks scruffy. might be a new visitor to the territory!
*makes a cup of coffee, puts it on desk, and then sits there staring at it warily*
