let the rock stars hold me down
letting the world roll me
all-stars playing underground

into the shed again
after the tools are sharp
once in a smash mouth
all-stars playing underground

When you try to convince friends to join masto by showing them the memes but they don’t get it

Just to weigh in, if _any_ system you're using has "private" messages and they're not end-to-end encrypted (few are, and even fewer are competently), _someone_ has access to all of those messages.

The way I see it, knowing your admin on a Mastodon instance is a win. You don't get that option with any commercial social network.

Looking for work (in Sydney or remotely), boosts wanted 

So it seems the government is offering me an ultimatum: drop out of my studies, or starve.
