Attention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda
Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.
Not the case.
It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.
Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.
By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.
So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.
#zettelkasten is a form of #chaosmagic. Change my mind.
Is there a way to see which accounts I've requested to follow? I can see who I'm following, but there are some I think I requested before I knew what I was doing and I'd like to check their profiles and maybe subscribe instead.
Bio and profile picture pending, ADHD and a newborn are making it hard to begin proper social engagement!
Okay, so the pictures are up, but the bio and introduction post require too much brain right now. Quick outdated copy-paste from elsewhere (obv the baby happened):
> Life-long learner, variety crafter and gamer. I usually play RPGs and love all forms of fibrecraft. I'm also gonna be a mum soon, and then get to somehow study teaching with a newborn! 🤪
