New #blog post: Nearly a Quarter Century of Mobile Phones
https://rldane.space/nearly-a-quarter-century-of-mobile-phones.html

This was meant to be a quick-and-dirty post to get myself writing again after a pretty bad month, but I ended up writing for nearly two hours, so... ?!?!?!?!??

RL_Dane, 1 month ago to ADHD

I'm having one of those #ADHD days where I think a solid brick to the head would be a marked improvement.

Its like you're locked in a room trying to do Sudoku while there are ten TVs playing dreadful cable news channels at full blast right next to you.

https://rldane.space/the-toxicity-dance.html

This one may trigger some, but I tried to make it very impartial.

Shout out to the excellent @joel for tone-checking it for me before I published it.

New #blog post: "The unfolding horrors of Toxic Masculinity"
https://rldane.space/the-unfolding-horrors-of-toxic-masculinity.html

#CW: obvious from the title, plus some mild self-denigrating language and a single #bible reference.

(Also, post-dated to tomorrow for relatively self-explanatory reasons)

New #blog post: A Breath of Fresh Air (link in text)

This post introduces a new tag to my blog: "Informal post."

It's written in a more informal style than I usually use, and has minimal editing and proofreading. More like #100DaysToOffload style, although I'm not formally counting my 100 posts (yet?)

Hey you. Psst!

Yeah, YOU.

Stop scrollin' fer just a second...

I need you to know something.

You're brilliant. Absolutely stinking brilliant
Every one of you.

The way you put your art, your creations, your humor, your writing, your thoughts and dreams out here on the #Fediverse.

The way you're real and raw, whether you're sharing something that delights you, or crying out with hope against an injustice...

You're simply amazing, and its my joy to share this space with you.

So keep being weird,
keep being nerdy,
keep being real,
keep being funny.

Because YOU
make this place.....
...........amazing.
