#ValentineSongsForIntroverts

I don't pick up the mail
I don't pick up the phone
I don't answer the door
I'd just as soon be alone
I don't keep this place up
I just keep the lights down
I don't live in these rooms
I just rattle around

I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
I'm just a whisper of smoke

ennui! at the post office

A mentally ill homeless guy walked onto a high school campus in my suburb, wearing all black, carrying a big duffel bag. Now, it’s reasonable to be concerned about that and want to identify who it is, assure he’s not carrying weapons onto the campus, and so forth.

But the community (as, perhaps, poorly represented on Facebook) is coming completely unhinged.

The programmerly urge to put off for days a task that will take 15 minutes, because there should way to be automate it.

There's a lot wrong with society and the world is full of dreadful consequences, but I had three shots of tequila so heyyyy

Whoever made the almond-milk carton the exact same shape as the chicken-broth carton should have to eat this cereal.

living well sounds like awesome revenge — but you have to get the asshole into the well

It's 2023. "Gosh, we didn't realize how people would misuse this" just isn't believable anymore.

Bare minimum, with any new tech:
1) How would a stalker use this?
2) What will 4chan do with this?

And don't release, not even as alpha or beta, before mitigating those risks.

Ever worry that your "how the fuck do I get out of this conversation" face looks like a "how the fuck do I get out of this conversation" face?

My mother-in-law doesn't drink but she inspires it in other people.

Almost time for my tradition of ruining Valentine’s for a lot of people by booking a table for one so I can sob loudly over a meal I won’t eat while sitting across from an urn of ashes.

One thing I'm absolutely loving about Mastodon is the incredible, niche communities I'm discovering via hashtags.

Here are some that I'm loving:

#RomanFortThursday
#Caturday (okay not niche, but you know...cats)
#Mosstodon
#Astrodon
#MedievalMastodon and #Medievaldons
#IlluminatedManuscript

Goes without saying #bookstodon is a must.

Got anymore - share them below! I'm collecting inspiration. 🤗
