@FursonaAssignment give me a fursona
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. ^_^ ❤
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! 💫
#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.
dreamstuff
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.
dreamstuff
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?"
I saw your cold pockets
I raise you:
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.
