@pablor @pbump i can’t stand trump, but this is a bad way to look at things. for example, a new mexico-based immigration lawyer friend told me many of his immigrant clients were trump supporters, which baffled him at first. it’s not because they were racist against themselves, which seems to be what you’re claiming
@levisan here's the lil list i did at the time: https://adamwking.notion.site/Mastodon-servers-7b94e35724834c18b8e88485b4330bd7?pvs=4
@levisan i had to play w their web settings quite a bit compared to some others to get a nice UI, and elk.zone doesn’t work for it. but yeah it was still the one i felt most comfortable with when i was testing out a bunch
@levisan it’s decent. seems like a good balance as far as tolerance of diverse views but not a pit of nastiness. but as a result it’s also blocked by some instances i wish didn’t (indieweb.social for example), not listed on joinmastodon anymore, etc. so depends how “mainline” an instance you’re looking for.
@erlend that link worked, thanks!
my haircut lady always postpones our appointments, and it's the best feeling when she does!
latest updates to the "simplify gmail" browser extension are 😚👌 — the bundles, the saved searches, the little touches like not showing attachments in the list unless i'm *looking* for attachments, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM5hVyzRm4Q&t=5s

Saw this map posted on another network and it helped me realize some things I'd never appreciated before, which is just how whopping huge the agricultural part of California is, and, related, just how bowl-like the topography is. Really fascinating. #Maps #California
@erlend link seems to be 404ing!
@hnkns thanks man
@JonChevreau hey i think i saw her perform like a decade ago! forgot all about her and didn’t know she was still going. will have to look up her stuff
@levisan @jeremiah five years! wow. i sought out evaluation of whether i might have adhd well before it became “in vogue” to whatever degree it is now, but a friend got diagnosed recently and i don’t think it took nearly that long. (ontario though.) my tinnitus specialist appointment has been booked for a year and a half though, hah.
@anubis2814 @RadicalAnthro ahhhh… hadn’t gotten around to googling yet, so thanks!
@jeremiah @levisan i do think there’s prob a lot of folks experiencing adhd-like symptoms that have something else going on that’s causing some similar symptoms, and that the DSM framework for it needs updating, but how many of those folks are actually being diagnosed and treated w stimulant pharmaceuticals? no idea. but it’s not that easy for adults to get diagnosed in many places, from what i hear
@jeremiah @levisan yeah, could be a vector that pharma is happy about, but i doubt that’s the leading factor, bc 1) most folks leading the charge on normalization of broader autistic and adhd communities are also advocating mainly a non-medical, non-pharma paradigm for how it’s treated, 2) autism in particular isn’t particularly suited for pharmaceutical interventions. adhd fits your bill a bit better.
