found an old bookmark for "mastodon" that I assumed would lead me to mastodon.homo

but it was for https://mastodon.lol/

whew! if there is a shining example of how the fediverse is an imperfect experiment...

@shippychaos yes, this happens to me every once in a while since that was my first Mastodon home. Whew indeed.

The Eugene Symphony is having a family concert today. They’re advertising it with “Wigglers and dancers welcome,” and I LOVE IT. I’m going to a chamber music concert which will 100 percent NOT welcome wiggling or dancing, but as an adult who sat, wiggled, and probably made noise through a lot of music as a kid - and got in trouble for it - I appreciate my local #orchestra. #music #children #Oregon

Thank you FotMob for reminding me that #NWSL is on Prime tonight! I should be packing for a trip, but, like, soccer! #WoSo

(Also! We're hitting up the Bay FC-Seattle Reign game on Sunday in San Jose!!)

Sometimes, there are things you want to say online but they need to become essays instead. Relatedly, I wish the bodies of the people who harm other people would be the body that kept the score instead. You know?

OK, so people interested in my #MasterRecycling experience - I also got certified as a “Community #Plastics Collector” last week. In our county in Oregon, that means we collect #2 HDPE lids, bottles smaller than a tennis ball, & tubs (& a few other things); #4 LDPE, mostly lids; and #5 PP lids, tubs, etc. (it’s mostly lids and dairy). Those go to Oregon’s Denton Plastics in Portland. They have to be absolutely dry and ABSOLUTELY free of food contamination or mold. (YIKES.) (1/ ? )

Yesterday, I got to take part as a volunteer for a #plastics collection event in one of the recreation districts in the city - this one was at River Road/Emerald Park. It was SUPER interesting. For one thing, there are 800 zillion different kinds of yogurt containers, and in Eugene, people apparently eat THOUSANDS OF TONS OF YOGURT. & they’re all #5 PP, y’all. All of them. OK, maybe like one type is a 2 or 4? But RARE. Here are some things I learned. (2 / ?) #MasterRecycling

  1. It does not matter how often we say on posters that #plastics must be clean and dry. People will bring dirty plastic. You MUST have rags to wipe off dirt. One of our county waste management people created hand-made rags for all of us!
  2. People cannot dump their plastic & leave. They will leave volunteers with moldy-ass plastic. Sigh.
  3. There’s an education component. The person next to me was maybe German & educated, uh, sternly. (More on that in the next one.) #MasterRecycling (3 / ? )

@suzisteffen@wandering.shop avatar

3a. I don’t like being stern, and also I don’t believe in blaming individuals for systemic issues, so 3b. I would say things like, “I sure wish producers would take responsibility for their #plastics, but since they don’t, we must be really careful with what we take to Denton, so please CLEAN YOUR PLASTICS THOROUGHLY.” and that means
4. Use the dishwasher if you’re going to recycle plastics. Might feel counterintuitive! BUT see the link. #MasterRecycling

@suzisteffen@wandering.shop avatar
  1. OK, if you’re a person who doesn’t use dishwashers because you thoroughly believe you’re more efficient (er, see previous link!), please do not buy little Yoplait containers. There are about 40 ridges in them where it’s nigh-on impossible to get the yogurt remains out. They were almost all either wet or moldy or not fully cleaned. Pick a tiny yogurt container w/o ridges, esp on top (though again, it’s not anyone’s individual fault).

  1. #Plastics that say # 5 PP+ and/or “Cryovac” are very hard to recycle. If you pay for a TerraCycle box (my neighbors and I do), you can put them in there, but … whew.

That’s often to-go food containers, for instance. Anything where different kinds of plastics are melted together = much more work to recycle/reuse. (Again, it’s not anyone’s individual fault, but we can all try do what we can, so check your plastics for “cryovac” & try to avoid if possible.)

    This LAist list of quintessential California movies is such a good way to deal with the day after so much NCAAWBB, #oscars2024, & the switch to daylight saving time. Yesterday was A Lot. I didn't even get to see soccer! Anyway!!! Good list!!! https://laist.com/brief/news/arts-and-entertainment/california-films-cheerocracy-up-in-smoke-lady-bird-troop-beverly

    “This is the first Oscar in Ukranian history. I am probably the first director on this stage to say I wish I’d never made this film. I wish to exchange this for Russia never attacking Ukraine, never occupying our cities, not kiling tens of thousands of my fellow Ukranians.” #Oscars2024

    It is weird to think of Sam Rockwell winning an Oscar before Robert Downey, Jr. At least that field is about to be leveled.

    These nominee honors feel far less personal than the supporting actress honors, except for Rockwell and RDJ. #oscars2024

    @amaditalks Ali did a good job in a challenging sitch there, I though.

    @amaditalks I just meant I didn’t think he had a lot to work with there. Does he know Ruffalo? Has he ever worked with him?
