This is an archive of my Mastodon account, and maybe in the future, noteworthy posts of mine that I might feel like archiving from other webites.
I'm currently manually updating this whenever I update the rest of my site, so posts might take a while to get here. It also currently doesn't have support for links or outgoing images, and it doesn't look very nice. But ain't it neat?
"Call them crumbs the way I'm vacuuming them" - me cleaning out my Linux server by running journalctl -vacuum-size=1K for the five millionth time because despite my best efforts I'm still using 100% of hard drive space on this bad boy

Had the Pumpkin Spice Frosty cold brew, which was amazing (right after I was complaining that PSLs feel like an investment), but then I filled the empty cup back up with Coke and oh my god. They need to make Pumpkin Spice Coke. Please.

Sick of ordering prescriptions. They should just beautifully manifest in my cupboards with the cereal

I finally brought myself to unsubscribe from #DraculaDaily. Seeing as I have the entirety of Dracula in my email folder... twice... and still haven't managed to get my attention span to read it.
I will try again next year. I WILL. Jonathan will escape chicken paprikash purgatory one of these years

I just read out the words "BAD MAGIC NUMBER IN SUPERBLOCK?" and then started crying

#Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion is incredibly eerie so far. I wish I hadn't been so thoroughly spoiled on the plot already, but I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Planning on writing a guide for getting into #Mastodon. I know there's plenty... but I plan to take a more "personal experience" approach.
So, to anyone who cares to answer:
-
What are some hurdles you had when joining Mastodon? Any not-immediately-obvious features?
-
What are some generally-accepted 'general' instances? I know mastodon.social is HUGE and not really recommended. I also know I could just look up a list but I'd like actual feedback.
When I first decided I was going to rejoin Mastodon, I initially wanted to be on Wandering Shop, where all the cool sci-fantasy writers hang out. I even spent weeks lurking the local timeline to see if it was right for me, only to finally commit to signing up... and learning they're invite-only. Oops.
I joined this instance entirely based on a completely random Reddit recommendation. And I've grown oddly attached to it. I think it's probably better we have no major celebrities here.

Made my best potato soup yet, with homemade stock. It um... doesn't look good in this photo. BUT IT'S GOOD.

Some extradimensional shapes I encounter in my day-to-day life:
-USB devices (only goes in the fourth time you've rotated it)
-earbud cables (no matter how much you untangle them, they will only get more tangled)

Sitting on the couch doing crossword. Cat jumps up on the couch and cuddles up to me.
Anti anxiety meds have done wonders for my compulsion to be Productive for capitalism, but I'm amused this is the moment it finally clicks for me. Spending time with loved ones is the only lasting thing.
