This has always bothered me: Why do we call ppl we think are being weak “pussies”? We should clearly call them nutsacks.

One little nutsack flick, dude goes down, but pussies can deliver.

I always laugh at myself when I do something silly, like put the milk back in the cupboard instead of the fridge or waste the last 15 years.

Tiny Privacy Tip 🔒:

Do not give your name to your devices.

Give them their own unique unrelated name. Like Steve or Martha or CyberApple or MyMagicTinyPocketComputer ✨

Giving it your own name isn’t really helpful in any way to you, and through Bluetooth or WiFi scanning can make your name known to strangers in the vicinity you might not want to share your name with.

Giving weird unrelated names to your phones, computers, WiFi network, etc, is not only safer, it is also much cuter :awesome:

1. Last week, the FTC proposed a rule banning noncompete clauses.

If the rule is ultimately adopted it would be one of the most dramatic expansions in worker rights in decades.

And not just for people subject to noncompete clauses.

For EVERYONE.

Hi Mastodon! I built a random comic generator that makes horrible comics about therapy. It's NSFW and, well .. horrible. If you generate a good one, post it in the comments.

That was an intense day of sorting seed! All of last year’s seeds which we’d cleaned over the last few months are now boxed, labelled and of course alphabetised. Ready for exchanging with other botanic gardens. Sadly we now need a phytosanitary certificate to send to the EU, which we don’t have the funds for… bloody brexit #gardening #horticulture #seedsaving #brexit #organising #botanicalgarden

The early 2000s saw a renaissance in RPGs from small indie devs due to the OGL 1.0a (open gaming license). A new proposed OGL 1.1 was leaked that will supposedly invalidate the old license. The RPG community is, rightfully, anxious about its legality.

So not only did I learn about the current insurrection attempt in Brazil on Mastodon before any of the journos/news hounds started posting links to Twitter about it (thanks @CrimethInc ...the anarchists always know what's going down first), I'm also really liking that it's not the only thing on my timeline due to algorithms. (Though I'm sure those Twitter algorithms are being used to help Bolsonaro right now, so please stop relying upon it as a place to get information and cultivate other sources...the news was also published by a local french-language newspaper before the Twitter links started being recommended so it seems both professional media and Mastodon are superior sources for breaking news than Twitter at this point, despite people being habituated to turning to Twitter).
