We both agreed it was a bad idea to smoke the sheet.

Drugs 

TFW you knock the bowl out of your bong and spill weed all over the bed, then have to clean it up with a dustbuster because it's too sticky.

@frameacloud I wouldn't, but I'm not a fan of the tech. There are a lot of good communities over there, but my brain gets too itchy when I try to use it, which is actually kind of annoying since I think there's a plenty of upside to it and my brain just says "no."

Hey Awoo + friends, i really need some help. Im very suddenly out of a job, struggling to find a new one/make money, and am halfway through a really important part of my transition.

I have AWFUL species dysphoria that causes enough distress that Im in therapy for it, and getting paw tattoos on my feet has been a huge step in relieving that. In order to afford the other half of my tattoo I need at least $150 to cushion the $300 cost. Paypal donations to chris@sgreig.com are honestly appreciated.

Hey, @dzuk@a.weirder.earth , can we get a Metroid emojum?

@Momentrabbit Sometimes we all need a moment to reflect on how shitty the rules of this game are, and whether and how and when to change them. And sometimes we need time to talk about our frustration and our upset and be heard.

No, it isn't the Work, but toil. And I am so deeply sympathetic that you've had to do so much of that, and I too wish I had more power than just words sometimes.

Probably best I don't. There would be so much snow, and so many butterflies. *offers hugs*

@fluffy @Xkeeper @frameacloud I tried to build a multi-user shared WP system in 200x when LJ died, but most people abandoned longform writing or fled to other commercial platforms. Prisma still has that software, but I'm the only one regularly using it. Even I don't post that much.

hot take: Masto should not focus on acquiring new users

it should focus on providing its users a safe, stable, reliable place to form a community, and allow users to join organically

trying to emulate other systems by incorporating their flaws is a terrible idea and guess against the whole ethos behind most people who came here

Tech Bulldada 

So... I'm gonna just put two things next to each other that wandered into my field of vision:

1) theverge.com/2018/2/21/1703760, techcrunch.com/2018/01/08/tele -- Telegram's launching a cryptocurrency to help pay for itself because its founders were self-financed and the service has no monetization engine without it.
2) wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Fea -- There's apparently a software bundle aimed at doing remote VPN that also hosts Matrix, among a bunch of other stuff.

I suspect I see May's project.

I cannot thank my partners enough for their support, their understanding, their empathy. I love you all so very much, and I can only hope I manage to share with you the same shelter and respite that you offered me last night.

I was told on Saturday to focus my dreams for the next few nights. My nights have been blissfully empty, restful and restorative. The mornings have brought peace and calm, a welcome respite for which I'm thankful. I feel better after each long sleep. I hope it lasts.

The early night was rough. I'm too quick to read disapproval into thoughtful silence, disappointment into confusion. I feel dependent on tools to weather the worst of the emotional storms, tools which make it harder to write, harder to focus, tools I still can't fully embrace because they make they make it harder to write, harder to focus, harder to be fully me in all the ways I need to be me to be happy being me. I offered a lot of thank-yous last night, and I expressed a lot of gratitude.

@Soreth @mawr @xurnami I would argue that it still _can_ work, but it requires a level of emotional intimacy and shared contet that limits the size of events and communities. Families don't typically need codes of conduct, f'rex, but pre-nuptual agreements still happen.

I'm not sure the broader community collectively shares the necessary context and intimacy. I don't think we've had it since before the Slack diaspora, and I suspect we lost it some time before that.
