green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

Did someone think this out:

a) not thoroughly enough;
or
b) too thoroughly
?

there's a certain level of edginess to friendliness, softness, rainbow colors and glitter everywhere

in a world where goths/punks/emos are no longer edgy

it's the one thing that still manages to throw people for a loop

Wow, here I am in Mastodon! The Silicon Peach! The Paris of the Internet!

Gosh, I may be a simple, bright-eyed farm girl from downtown Toronto with nothing but a pocket full of toonies and a head full of dreams, but something tells me I can really make something of myself here!

Today I learned: Ursula K. LeGuin spent a chunk of her life making an album of world music for a paracosmic civilization from one of her books. (' Music And Poetry Of The Kesh', paired with the book 'Always Coming Home')

Also that she was working in her last days on seeing it being reissued, and now it's on Bandcamp? Just...to buy? And that's really beautiful in its own way.

Thanks for one more story. <3

subtoot to like half of you (with love): i still appreciate it if you CW your politics stuff.

One of the huge reasons I love Mastodon.

When I'm completely out've mental juice, I can still browse this site.

Content warnings are something I'm still super thrilled that this place has. And that all of you are polite enough to keep me from seeing horrible imagery or serious issues without my mental fuel being empty.

Anxiety is such a harsh drain on my mental resources.

Thank you all for doing what you do.

Our kitty is officially pretty much back to normal now

But the vet costs went up to 600€-ish, and might get higher still in the near future. So, no worries if not, but if you have some money to spare, this is our fundraiser again: https://www.youcaring.com/salemkatzi-1132653

If this doesn't work for you, our paypal is 5terstock@riseup.net, and we will probably give you our IBAN if you ask.

And of course very big thank yous to everyone who already gave some moneys or boosted the previous toot <3

It looks like people are talking about april fools stuff so I want to say

I will not be doing anything for april fools. No pranks, no jokes, nothing.

April fools is already hard on people with anxiety. If you see this, please consider making a statement that you won't do anything for april fools, so that people like myself can be a little more comfortable that day, and not have to dread it as much.

This goes doubly for instance admins. Please don't change the site suddenly without warning.

In response to a prompt from many:

I will not be performing April Fool's Day jokes on anyone.

I'm not a very prolific participant here, but on April 1 (as all other days), everything from me will be very much reality.

To those who enjoy pranking their RL friends who also enjoy it? I wish you a happy and entertaining day.

Hey guys, I went ahead and made one of these:

As some of you know, I have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. My insurance will not cover my Hormone Replacement Therapy costs because of the increased risk caused by it -unless- I get a pacemaker. I cannot afford a pacemaker, even with insurance, thanks to American healthcare prices.

I'm currently working a job doing 12-hour security shifts, but I would like any amount of help I can get. Thank you

hey you
you have more power than you think
use it to help others
inspire them
take them in your arms and whisper what you'd like to do

do not look down on others (unless that is what they wish for)
bring them up to your level and beyond
