What will your Animagus form be?
"a dragon."
It can't be a magical creature.
"a velociraptor."
It also can't be an extinct creature.
*siiigh* "CROW."

mastodon users: if you want to scrape off all followers from an ill-behaved instance, go to settings > authorized followers. select the badly behaved domain, and click "remove followers." just a little toot tip

A debate on IRC got me wondering: how is "guys" perceived, as in "you guys" or "guys" as the leading word in a sentence...

to me it's gender neutral but to many it addresses a group of men

so, to make a poll: strawpoll.me/15847774/

Also, this kinda came up, but not everyone using Masto/masto-like sites are tech savvy. Telling me to build my own instance or do _______ as someone who barely understand what it means and entails isn't useful.

Masto discourse is not accessible and some of yall are just hostile and annoying and condescending for no reason whatsoever.

The pro of all of these new instances popping up is that you can build your own communities where you feel safe with people you trust.

The con is that there is less quality control. People of color, women, trans folks, and folks with disabilities and illnesses are constantly harassed when we post on public, a lot of (newer) instances don't have codes of conducts, and we don't have all damn day to keep blocking instances (bc there are so many).

I have just dumped a banana, some strawberries, yogurt, ice cream, almond milk, and ice cubes into a blender and I am now sipping the product thinking "hmm... yeah, this is acceptable." I mean... it's not great, but it works.

I can't stress this enough: Adopt older dogs.

The shelter thought that she was around 8 and said "give this sweet girl her retirement home!" Considering that we were first-time dog owners, we thought that a chill dog was what we needed.

She runs circles around us, even after three years. She's never had an accident in the house. She loves kids. She never leaves our sides.

And two weeks after we brought her home, she alerted me that I was going to have a seizure. She still does this.

Trans Pride Seattle could use a little help, they lost a bunch of money unexpectedly from sponsors backing out and gov't funding disappearing.

time to engulf another third of this flat of strawberries from Costco

which I just looked at and found that it's a four-pound box

so like a third of four pounds is ????? MANY STRAWBERRIES omnomnomnomnom

apparently there's a network in our area NAMED "the password is password." .......... ?????

"Every game should have a 'fuck this' button."

How bout we... 

...use "fish" wherever it's tempting to use the (misogynistic) word "bitch"?

Life's a fish, ain't it.
Stop yer fishin'!
Get out of my way, you hazy* fish!
I WANT MY FATHER BACK, YOU SONOFAFISH!!

* replacement for ableist word "crazy"

Not that people on Mastodon seem much inclined to use either of these words -- which is one of the things I've always liked about it.

We're still a heckin' great bunch of people.

We just need a bigger space, now that there are, what, 1.5m of us?

gawd I am allergic to the spring snow and it's EVERYWHERE and MY ENTIRE EPIDERMIS ITCHES gaaaaaahhhhh
