on birbsite, an RTd post won’t show up on your timeline again from other RTs until quite a while later (at least a day, or feels like).

Does mastodon do that sort of collapsing? if it does, it seems like the period is extremely short.

Maybe I should do the thing again!

I’m Zenith, a leafy seadragon. I finally dove into the furry scene this year after a decade of hanging out next to it. It’s fun being a noodle!

Other than that? I’m an ace dude what does computers. I tend to retoot a lot but usually keep it to positive things.

Regarding that last boost, local custom is to CW things like politics, violence, stressful current events, etc. so that people can choose to engage with this content if they want to and avoid it if they want or need that space.

You do you, but remember that many folks are doing their best to curate a safer space for themselves (me included!) and we do not need the pressure of other social media sites to Always Be Visibly Enraged.

new folks:

please remember to make heavy use of CWs

they are there because they are useful to reduce harm for folks

instead of being forced to read a post in order to determine if they want to interact with its contents or not (which is not a choice), you can know what the post is about and choose whether it's worth engaging that or not

The Joke: welcome to Mastodon, here's your fursuit and your copy of Das Kapital

Reality: welcome to Mastodon, here's your six alt fursonas, a copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook, an eight-week course on the programming language of your choice, a tarot deck, some brand spanking new hormones, and a complex geometric sigil you should memorize that will turn into a neural counter-virus so that when the Singularity finally hits we can make sure The Straights don't claim it for themselves

The rose engine, a specific subset of the family of ornamental lathes, is essentially a spirograph for metal. Here, a machinist carves a repeating offset pattern into a brass slug the size of a dime.

The superset of full ornamental lathes are essentially /three-dimensional/ spirographs. Here's an artisan using one as part of making an egg full of eyes (footnote 1).

around 40% of the people who ran for office for the first time and were supported by Run for Something were elected on Tuesday; this included 32 (and maybe as many as 34, pending recounts) out of 72 candidates in 14 states

this is totally bonkers: first-time candidates usually get blown out by incumbents or more experienced pols

do it!

Some folks on birdsite are tagging our project account in tweets like "hey jack twitter should copy this thing mastodon does". The idea that this is merely about features is short-sighted. Twitter will never, ever, ever be your friend. They are the shareholders' friend, not yours. No feature will let you see what their engineers are working on, what's under the hood. No feature will fix their headquarters in the US following and enforcing US laws and customs worldwide.

tired: fursuit squeakers

wired: fursuit captain crunch whistles that emanate a 2600hz tone

Seahorses and sea dragons are related and are both kinds of fish; they're slow-moving but not sessile, and camouflage themselves among the kelp in which their food source - plankton and small crustaceans - lives. Both species are evolved from the pipefishes, which also live among the seaweed.

In seahorses, sea dragons, and pipefish, the male carries the young; seahorses and -dragons have no scales, and instead have skin stretched over scaly rings radiating from bony skeletons.

Any tooters going to PAWcon this weekend?

It’s a super tiny furry con at the San Jose Doubletree (where FC once was). I went last year and it was really fun!

doing the seasonal avatar thing was fun! but going through and de-spooping all my accounts at the end feels a little melancholy.

Got a full eight hours of sleep last night, or "that big juicy ocho" as the pros call it
