dreams, involving shooting, crime
that bit faded out, then I was on the phone with a friend who was driving to meet me, but friend was being harassed/tailgated/surrounded by angry people with guns. as I was worriedly tracking this (because cell phones are magic that let you project the scene the other person is in onto your carpet) he showed up at the house, I was watching an old scene because cell phone lag. my subconscious has no idea how anything works apparently.
dreams, involving shooting, crime
dreamed I was--in a car, I think, or possibly walking. I didn't hear gunshots, but suddenly people were ducking for cover, and one person behind me fell to the ground, so I took cover as well. I went to the person who fell, worried she'd been shot, but she said she'd just been startled and tripped. I held her hand for comfort anyway as we waited for rescue. we couldn't see where the shots were coming from, or what was really happening.
Take two!
Mastonauts, it's an overcast day. Winter tends to be a sad time for lots of folks. It's okay to be sad, or even depressed. It's important, though, that you have support to help you through hard times. If you feel like you've got no one to talk to, no one who understands what you're going through, just remember that there's always someone out there. If you want to talk, I'm happy to be your support. I know what it's like to feel like there's no one in your corner.
I got you. 💖
Hej mastodon
I'm writing an article about social media in 2017. I guess some of you have left birbsite for good. If some of you would care to give me short (and quoteable) statement "why" and "why mastodon is better", you'd make a journalist very happy.
Of course anon/pseudoymity is no problem. German prefered, but english is fine, re-toots are appriecated.

"OK, that's a cat. Now, how do we get it out of the box?"

Amtrak commuter train derailment, WA, near Olympia/Tacoma
Spouse told me about this when he got home, was surprised I hadn't heard. surprisingly few fatalities, though a lot of injuries. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amtrak-derailment-train-crashes-near-tacoma-washington-n830751
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mastodon discussions. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the discussions will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Gargron’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths
