currently failing to motivate myself to either leave the house or write. :|

I'm Jessica Winters, I'm trans and I've fallen on some hard times, and I need a bit of help with my transition/medication, and to help me get back to full-time work.
I've started a funding campaign. I'd be so grateful if you could donate or share!

Intro For Newbies In Five Hundred Characters Or Less:

We're weird.

Hi.

If you like our weird, hang out.

If you don't like our weird, hang out and complain about it, but nobody will listen and we'll still be weird.

If you think we're destroying something, some of us will laugh at you secretly, but a lot of us will just pity you or assume you're misinformed.

If you come here and treat this like Twitter, that will be a gigantic mistake, and I do not recommend it.

That is all. ^_^ ❤

Oyyyy CW your Trump shit this ain't Twitter

re: lrbs (last re-boosts) O Human Star is a lovely comic, with transhuman, transgender, and gay themes, as well as exploring AI, robotics, and technology development. excellent stuff, highly recommended! also amazing artwork!

If it helps, this is the dorky Mastodon metaphor I use:

Home: my friends, who I invited in personally
Local: my neighbors, where I chose to live
Federated: friends of friends, the city

I know I just made this account afew days ago but I'm really fucking scared and desperate for a place to stay while I look for a job. I'm currently in Virginia but I can try to get most places in the US. Even if you can't directly help, please signal boost this.

If you just have one account on one instance, you may not realize that Mastodon federation -- the means by which toots are sent from instance to instance -- is not instantaneous.

It may be seconds or minutes for a toot to traverse even directly connected instances. This depends on server load and how many messages are in the queue.

Toot lag. It's a thing.

The more you know! 💫

Dealers are callin' it Geek Taffy. Somebody slips it into a kid's drink, next day he wakes up at a Renaissance faire covered in coffee grounds.

#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?

Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.

And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."

I tried to ask the people who had the coin what it was for, but they gave me the "WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THOSE EVENTS" routine. I was disappoint, and tried to point out that most of the "occult symbols" were actually cribbed from the Masons or something, but they ran me out of the Bingo parlor.

in another part of the dream I was sleeping in a car for some reason and it snowed! and stuck!! and I was SO EXCITE but it was only a dream.

earlier, the teenager met several people at the local tourist trap/mini-mall, including several older folks from the big weird Bingo tournament. Eddie Murphy made a brief appearance there, as an older person who may or may not have been Satan, and now I really want to see that. one of the older folks had a coin that looked like a giant penny, the size of a rotary phone dial and a couple of nail holes as if it had been hung up on a wall.

dreamed I was a teenager whose family moved to a new town, into a huge rambly creaky semi-run-down Victorian house, which my teen self was *convinced* was haunted and thought was *totally cool*. the first day after moving in, I stood in the house and said "Okay, ghosts, this is my cat. If you harm my cat I will EXORCISE THE FUCK OUT OF YOU WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE. Otherwise, I'm cool with whatever haunting you want to do. Got it?"

current estimate for power return is 11 pm, but with all the other blackouts, who knows? I'm staying awake another half hour to feed the cats, then going to bed. goodnight, stay safe out there, awoo. <3

Are there any clients which hook into both mastodon and birbsite, the same way that Pidgin/Trillian/Adium/etc once centralized a farflung diaspora of IM accounts?

Next question: Are there any good Mastodon clients period? Amaroq >> Mustor for me but I’m still sort of limping through mobile, and haven’t stumbled on a decent desktop client yet.

POWER OUTAGE WOOOOO
.... what are we going to have for dinner
