In case you need to see a dog in a hat... And let's face it who doesn't?

Failure is an opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently.

People are beginning to believe they are worth what they are paid, it's time workers are paid what they are worth.

7 things all kids need to hear
1 I love you
2 I'm proud of you
3 I'm sorry
4 I forgive you
5 I'm listening
6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup
7 You've got what it takes
@Romaq I found a good app to edit my toots! It’s called Metatext! 👍🏻
@Romaq I sadly have an iPhone, but might eventually go back to Android. I also still have an old Android phone I thought about switching to for awhile… Thanks for your help! I’ll look to see if they have an iOS app that has an edit feature!

This is Guv. She’s nearly 6. She likes cheese, belly rubs, and tennis balls. #dogs #dogsofmastodon #rottweilers
@Romaq Oooh! That explains no edit button for me! I don’t have it on the app I’m using! I guess I’ll be on the search for an app that might have it, or just end up using the website.
@Romaq I didn’t really think of it that way! Thank you for your perspective! I will definitely take your advice.

@AmandaHilden I straddle both. I post more "private" feelings, statements, and initiate posts *here*. If I'm inclined, I link to the post on the Bird Site so people can see it as they are inclined, but I keep my follow list *VERY* low, and I'm inclined to shrink it from time to time looking for people I don't interact with and are unlikely to ever do so.
The Bird Site has official Mojang Status as well as various other feeds I have interest in. If and as they come here, I follow here. The thing about finding your joy is you can always keep looking, and change over time just as venues change. There's no harm in it, and as I've commented elsewhere, I'm not *married* to Mastodon. And you don't have to be either. :)
@Romaq Mastodon has an edit button? Where? I’m gonna have to look this up! TY!
@Romaq Ugh, I need to start investing in proofreading my posts. *Littlest not littleist… My fingers have a mind of their own! 😂
@bit0fun Most likely will be the case.
@Romaq Thanks you are very kind! 
@Romaq I do find joy on Twitter but then I don’t because of so many angry people who get upset over the littleist of things. So far I’ve encountered more friendly people on Mastadon then any other social network I’ve been on! I might in time fine my joy here. However, still thinking about going back to crazy bird place because of friends that don’t use Mastodon. I’m going think on it for awhile… Until then, I will remain here, and on another site called MeWe.

@AmandaHilden Some are moving over. I've been able to bring my wife and a few friends over to qoto.org. I'm happy to follow some of my Twitter feed here now.
I'm more comfortable posting "low key" stuff here, such as with #DogsOfMastodon or #Minecraft. The Bird Site gets too ugly in a hurry with random people. I use Bird Site to see who's moved or may be considering.
I think the important point is to find your "joy" and do *THAT*. If it's Twitter where you find your joy, that's cool! That's ok, that's where you should be. And you can be on both. The important consideration is your joy, and I look forward to you mentioning you are finding it there. Wherever "there" actually is for you. :)

Dealing with gender issues in STEM can be a real challenge when everybody who's in charge of fixing them is male.
