They're after me... @frickinLasers@qoto.org

If you are a person who is new to the fediverse, or who’s returning to explore after a while away, I can affirmatively say (as someone who has been here right from the start) that we’re all glad to have you, and excited to see what you share, and inspired by the new ideas you have for what’s possible here.

Anyway, now that a ton of journalists are flocking back to Mastodon... you should read my article about how all your articles about Mastodon "slumping" were bullshit. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/08/lazy-reporters-claiming-fediverse-is-slumping-despite-massive-increase-in-usage/

Today I made low-carb pizza for the first time.
Today, (coincidentally) I also made low-carb pizza for the last time.

Not if you live in a properly functioning house.

You guys are being... oooh wait, nope. this is the federated time line.... okay.

I didn’t come here to make friends.

Because that would require me to be likable.

How long has it been since you watched Who's on First?

Me: gonna open this kitchen drawer.

Potato masher: the fuck you will.

Cop show!

Fun for the whole family.

A list of places y'all gon make me lose my mind:
1. Up in here

I call today’s look, ‘I can’t find my lint roller, but I’m fucking wearing these black pants anyway.’

This can be a viral toot if we all agree to make it one.

There's a new academic search engine out there called Scinapse.

More strange Mastodon reporting. This time from @thurrott, who claims "I’ve been using Mastodon since December, but the interaction there is almost non-existent compared to Twitter."

Dude, you follow 22 people. Try following more people. The "non-existent" interaction is *up to you*.

I've found WAY MORE interactions and engagement here than I ever had on Twitter. Plus fewer death threats.

Is "quiet quitting Twitter" really a thing? If so, I assume it's frowned upon. Although unintentional, maybe that's what I did.

The abuse being dealt out to people who announced they were leaving only got worse when they returned after making said announcement.

It was tough. It still is, but I miss my friends.

4: let’s have feet for breakfast!

Me: but then we’d have... a runny tummy.... * uncontrollable laughter *

Therapist: Describe yourself in one word.

Me: No.

If you're ever in need of a rabbit hole in which to lose yourself, I highly recommend PBS's "Blank on Blank" clips on Youtube - fun animation set to fascinating audio interviews with various icons and luminaries. For example, enjoy some Rod Serling!

Boy, did I have a day. It lasted many hours and was full of events. Words were uttered. I drove an automobile. You don't even know.
