I am sitting in the chair so now Javert can eat. This is important.

Javert says good morning and asks if you have any food for dog.

I am back in Paris where mis doggins is sitting on my lap trying to keep me from doing work.

I am ok with this, I missed her.

Every time I go on a rant over on mastodon.social I get more followers.

This makes me worry a bit.

Javert says woof

I may make a policy to block anyone who just talks about how mastodon is going to fail. Cuz that shit is boring and almost all of the toots about it I have seen use invalid premises.

I think the allergies are trying to kill me.

Stupid allergies.

I am not dead yet, just back in Paris and tired. Sleep time now.

I keep forgetting that I am tooting from two separate instances for two separate things. I would say that I hope it isn't confusing for people but I am a jerk so I just find it amusing.

The windy beach was predictably cold, so we had donuts and were glared at by deer and seagulls for a bit. Now I am back where it is warm and there is mastodon.

@gothangelic just walked in, held up a thing and said 'This is a woodcock'

That is all.

As a reminder, people are very different.

There are things that you think of as being absolutely essential to being a person that other people just don't have.

And there are things that you lack that other people consider absolutely essential to being a person.

This generally shows up in assumptions about what it means to be a person that we don't even realise we are making.

I have been dealing with both sides of this a lot lately.

I really don't like the idea that I may have a better understanding of empathy than some other people because I am so often bad at it.

But then I keep seeing people having trouble with the idea that there may be someone out there that is different than they are and just can't seem to process the idea.

I always feel incredibly arrogant when I say things like that.

Is it something like kink that you don't want to scream about in public but isn't all that important to keep secret? Mastodon is ok

Political dissent in places where it is banned? FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK NOT ON MASTODON

Something that may get you fired? Probably not mastodon. How lucky do you feel/How nosy is your work?

Another reminder:

Mastodon isn't private. Yes, DMs and other things are less public than the public timeline, but never assume it is private ever.

If you have something sensitive to talk about use something actually private like Tox or XMPP with OTR or something like that.
