There are not many people I would prostate myself for, in huge respect and admiration. Except of course Alan, the man who drives the Fresh Fish van. 🐟🐠🐡🦞🦐
Don't think less of me.

This is me moving over to Mastodon.ART. I'm a Finnish UX/UI designer who should feel at home here. I don't have much of an idea what I'll be posting yet, or if I'll be mainly enjoying the creativity of others. My own art is a hobby, which progresses at a glacial pace, but you may end up seeing some of it. #introduction

I see that people with hearing aids are kind of panicky about their hearing aids.. There's someone at my place now who's slightly hard of hearing, so she's got hearing aids. When I needed her to help me a little bit with something outdoors, she was like nonono, it's raining and my hearing aids shouldn't get wet!

I said there was a simple solution then, just take them off for a bit. Oh nonono, she couldn't possibly do that. They need to stay on!

Wtf? They're just hearing aids, man. It's not like your life depends on them. I'm frigging deaf, I'm living proof that not being able to hear isn't going to hurt you. Let alone not being able to hear for 5 minutes. :P

I kind of remember this bit from my own past when I still wore hearing aids. 90% of my time was spent worrying if the battery was still full enough for me to hear something. Fucking things, I should've gone fully deaf sooner.

Well, except for furry France, which still holds the record. I should share it here.

@jensclasen
mausen ("to mouse") = to steal, to pilfer, to catch mice
mopsen ("to pug") = to steal, to swipe
rentieren ("to reindeer" 😜 ) = to be profitable
fliegen ("to fly") = to fly 🤷

The German word "nee" means "no" (slang for "nein").

The word "ne?" is used like a question tag.

Both combined - "Nee, ne?" - can mean

- I can't believe this is really happening.
- No he didn't, did he?
- That isn't true, is it?
- Are you kidding me?!
- No way!
- That's gotta be a f*cking lie!

Enjoy our language, ne?

The German word "hören" means "to hear". But it has funny relatives:

anhören = to listen
zuhören = to listen (a bit more active than anhören)
umhören = to ask around
abhören = to wiretap, to auscultate
überhören = to not hear
erhören = to hear and react to (eg. a plea or a prayer)
gehören = to belong to
angehören = to be a member of
satthören = to get enough of hearing

Should I rather aufhören*? OK.

Enjoy our language!

*aufhören = to stop

The Spaniards definitely use more amount of laughing emojis as well as happier emojis compared to the Germans.

My friend doesn't have no idea of what Nazi means, what do Fedi says about this?

С ДР меня! 🎉

Надеюсь, все будет хорошо. Поскорее бы.

Happy birthday to me 🎉
So... My Russian fedi friends already know my sad situation - my husband (14 years of relationship) suddenly left me for no apparent reason (he's tired of me, I'm a bad person, he hates our cats, yeah), he told me about that just before new year and moved to another city.
I'm kinda disabled, I'm studying and I can't work at the moment. He made me pay for an apartment which he owns where we lived together (I spent all of the money I inherited from my mom on buying stuff for this apartment - that was stupid of me, I know). I need money to pay rent and buy meds and food for me and my cats (he doesn't want to feed cats too lol).
Russian fedi people raised enough money for one month. I have to ask for help you, my English-speaking friends, too.
There is a way for you to donate money for russians through boosty - Russian Patreon. You can subscribe or donate any amount for a monthly goal. If you want, of course. Thank you in advance.
