The thing about microblogging is, it’s fundamentally boring. Conflict and sensationalism make it more interesting, but it’s so fucking passive, it just sucks away part of your life and doesn’t give all that much back. People rationalize it differently, but that’s all they are doing. SecondLife blended chat, fantasy, and live action in ways the world had never seen before. Some universities still use it.

If you've never had the chance to see the Aurora do whatever you can to get out tonight and tomorrow night (maybe Sunday too?) to see it. There are few things on this planet more magical. Find a place away from city lights and open sky and look to the north. Your cameras, either your phone or "regular" cameras will pick up more than your human eyes. But from what I'm seeing of the figures even the naked eye is gonna get to see colors with this storm. #Aurora #NorthernLights

Ugh stuck on cell service for internet today and it SUCKS! Xfinity has been out for almost 24 hours now. WTF? Phone hotspot not working because I need to install an update but can’t download update because I can’t use hotspot. ARRRRRRGH!

welp Mastodon has finally become a real place for #BreakingNews I learned of the Baltimore bridge collapse here first. Went to Xitter and bluesky and nothing there yet at all. #Baltimore #BridgeCollapse #News #Fediverse #Mastodon

it's interesting to me that along with the search and rescue efforts most posts are mentioning the traffic congestion that will be caused by the Baltimore bridge collapse. Few are saying anything about a large port being closed indefinitely. Any ship in port is now stuck there until debris is removed along with a large disabled container ship. #Baltimore #BridgeCollapse #PortClosed

Does anyone else find this long stretch of warm weather in what is usually the coldest time of year, absolutely terrifying? #ClimateChange

I can't decide if this is the strangest Golden Globe I've ever seen or if it's just the gummie I took earlier. #GoldenGlobes

Can anyone recommend some good history books describing resistance movements within fascism? For example how was the resistance successful during WWII. I fear we may need these skill in the too near future. #fascism #resistance #history @histodons

Is there anyone who's reading this that has had shoulder replacement surgery? I'm beginning to consider it myself and would like to hear of other's experiences. #Shoulder #Surgery #Arthritis

ugh - 3 o'clock and the real hunger is setting in. Iced green tea with ginger and broth isn't very filling. It'll all be done in 24 hours but until then you may see more whiney posts from me than usual. (why the heck am I even posting about this???)

buckle up buttercup climate chaos is headed our way a LOT sooner than most predicted. We're nowhere near ready for what's coming.

stuff. my life is full of too much stuff. Even getting rid of stuff requires dealing with stuff. Deciding, sorting, cleaning, recycling, donating, etc. I'm tired of stuff and stuff is making me tired.

@ivory I can't seem to find the pricing for your subscriptions anywhere. What is it? and why is it so hard to find?

lakelady, 11 months ago to random

New here and looking for weather info? Start with @BakerRL75
and
@ai6yr

you'll find more from there.

The birdsite is no longer reliable for this sort of info

I've only been active here for a few weeks and it makes me sad to see how quickly the habit of using Alt Text on all images on Mastodon is eroding. PLEASE take a few short minutes and learn how to do it and follow @PleaseCaption to remind you to include it.
