hello~

How’s everyone doing? Anybody doing anything fun this weekend?

I’ve been trying to cope with cicada season so I’m going to stay inside this weekend and chill out away from those awful things.

Hope everyone is swell 😘

#FPQuestion of the day:
Are expensive pens worth it to you? What is your ceiling amount that you would not exceed to buy one pen? Which pen(s) could tempt you to break that ceiling?

38 minutes to the new year, which means it's safe to be outside for about 28 minutes before hillbillies start firing off guns and fireworks

@DemocracySpot
Happy new year Eddie, and here's to a creative, healthy and hopeful year ahead.

It's difficult to say, but I'm hoping for a more optimistic 2024 as well.

🥳

*scrolls through my instance’s # Trending timeline, noting the various hot topics of the moment.

Human Rights for refugees.

Rise of fascism.

Holiday driven capitalism.

Human rights for trans/queer people.

Pandemic

Human rights for humans.

Unemployment.

Poor healthcare.

War.

…. And sitting up the top of the list, trending at # 1, is my stupid joke about not being bitten by a werewolf.

It’s a stupid joke, and holds zero real importance. I didn’t write it. I found it on the internet somewhere. I have no idea who the original author is. It’s copypasta like almost all the jokes and memes I toot. But when I arrived on Mastodon over a year ago, silly jokes seemed to be rare, so that’s what I’ve endeavoured to provide. Silly jokes and dumb memes. Good ones though. Usually tasteful. Always with AltText. And with the aim of lightening the mood and lifting the spirits of this incredible community. Usually. Mostly.

I still sometimes get a little uncomfortable that they out-trend all that serious important stuff though.

So I might have a coffee date of sorts on Sunday? That’s exciting.

She loves heavy music, especially dark music, and I was a dumbass delightful and mentioned I make music and now she’s gonna listen to Salvation and I guess that means we’re having the litmus test early in this conversation.

My life is too interesting for my own good.

Nobody wants to show me a cool rock they found anymore.

Adulthood is so dumb.

I haven't joined many #Discord servers, but the ones I have seem to die off quite quickly. What is the secret of the ones that last?

Days 1-3: Oh this is amazing! I've really found my people.

Day 6: May not be the right place to ask this, but [esoteric question]?

Day 11: Crickets. 🦗

A post by @dgar reminded me that I first joined the #Fediverse one year ago this week.
I've greatly enjoyed my time here, met some lovely people, shared a lot of amazing music, found the value in community rather than in the volume of one's online voice.
It's not perfect, but nowhere is. And it's a much better base to build something meaningful on than the precarious and distorted attention farms of corporate social media.
Thank you to everyone working hard to support us here.

In the Necropolis just behind Glasgow Cathedral stands this gravestone marking the final resting place of James Jeffary. The Professor of Anatomy at the nearby University between 1790 and 1848, Jeffray played a key part in one of the strangest events the city has ever witnessed.

In Ocotober 1819, a man by the name of Matthew Clydesdale was condemned not only to be hung for murder but, as was customary at the time, to be subjected to public dissection by Professor Jeffray once dead.

The long-awaited follow up to an older #bipolar blog post that was about starting lithium.

This is the companion 'I've been on lithium for a month and couldn't be better' post.
