@noelle would fav this whole thread but I don't want to clog your notifications too much :)

Laser, genital mention 

@memnus@octodon.social Yeah I always find that category of interaction kinda weird.

Thought: The "registration closed" message on instance homepages should prominently include or even redirect directly to joinmastodon.org (?)

Interesting to see the sleepy cabin start to stir as the plane begins its descent. Folks responding to the subtle change in the plane's movements.

Bored enough that I'm tempted to start subtooting random bad takes on the federated tl, but I think I'm gonna have some good sense and try to do literally anything else.

~everyone else on this flight has left their seatback tv screen on and set to the default channel, and I'm like, why. Why are you okay with having ads blasted into your eyeballs for six hours.

I took a really dim selfie but the image won't upload. Anyway, it being 03:30 and me being 4.5 hours into a delayed flight is The Worst.

At least the internet just turned back on, after Canada stopped being in the way.

My hobby: saying as a response to images of monsters and especially monster girls.

I'm kind of tempted to learn mixing, put a sick beat under "This Year" by the mountain goats, and see if I can get furries to dance to it.

Hypothesis: platforms whither and die when they no longer feel like places we can safely be emotionally honest. We stop posting about the actually unique and compelling parts of our lives. The vacuum is then filled with sanitized selves and performative politics, which ultimately isn't nourishing.

I definitely feel like this is a lot of what's happened to fb and increasingly to birdsite, anyway.

So let's be open and kind to each other here, okay?

Ahh so many interesting looking people but I don't think I have the brainwidth to follow y'all!!

If you follow me but I don't follow you back, feel super free to interact with me.

Hey folks, when you share a NSFW link or hidden image can you also breifly describe or at least tease the contents, so I have some idea whether it's something I'm interested in or should avoid?

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town I really like the clean lines and colors in the first one!

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Okay, that design is pretty dang cool :D

Hi everyone!! We opened our registration stuff again so people can sign up. Awoooooooo

consent 

Irregular reminder:

The majority of the time respecting consent is really easy, but where is matters most is the infrequent times where it's hard.

95+ percent of the time, it's pretty easy to accept a no and back off. Sometimes though you'll *really* want to do something. That's when it's hardest to not be pushy, back off, and let things go. But if you don't respect consent when it's hard to do so, the 95% of the time when it's easy hardly matters.

HRT question 

@Eve@witches.town Clarification on the above: unless you order from grey market online pharmacies, those medications must be proscibed by a doctor.

The typical paths to that here are to see a specialist, who (if they're regressive) might demand a letter or referral from a psychologist​. The newer model is an "informed consent" clinic where you basically just sign a thing that says "yeah, I know what these meds do" and a doctor gives the prescription without further obstacles.
