to do lists are great, but what i find even more helpful is i'll actually write out how long i expect something to take time. like "email tim" can feel big and intimidating, but "email tim (5 minutes)" feels really accomplishable. idk grounding it in time makes me feel more able to tackle something.

fash brownshirts, the Proud Boys, got collectively banned from facebook. if they come to fedi looking for refuge, block them and their instances. they are not welcome here! ✊️

iOS when you connect to a new PC to charge like "do you trust this computer" my friend I have never trusted a computer in my entire life

Honestly, I’m sure part of the reason I’m a disgusting slob is because my grandparents tried to shame me into cleaning by only ever saying how I’m a girl which didn’t seem like a good enough reason to a 5yo and doesn’t seem like one now. ...ofc I still take most responsibility for being a gross slob at my age :v but that’s irrelevant to my rant

Finishing up with my favourite pic from this jaunt, a foreboding pic of the castle amid a cornfield underneath a gathering storm as the winds picked up. Got trapped by the rain exploring this castle, the upper levels of which were inaccessible and the lower level of which was just a giant empty pit.

I get a little nervous about dining out alone but that quickly subsided when I witnessed an entire table of four French tourists eating their burgers with a knife and fork.

Dear admin friends, if you do find some altright instances, I hope you'll let us know

EFF supports legislation to create “information fiduciary” rules that would apply to online companies that collect personal data from their customers.

While the devil is in the details, those rules might look something like this. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/10/information-fiduciaries-must-protect-your-data-privacy source: https://twitter.com/eff/status/1058109910133534720

What I need is a gym that is actually a library in peril that needs help moving all the books somewhere else. Don't care what the peril is.

Fake approaching fire? Cosplayers dressed as marauders? An evil capitalist cackling and twirling a mustache? Doesn't matter.

I'd go all the time. And browse pretty heavily when on cool down.

#activitypub based Link Aggregation app is coming really soon! 🤠

@imacrea

If you use Instagram and your friends join Flickr instead, you'll have to move to Flickr or you'll lose contact with your friends.

If you use Pixelfed and your friends join Anfora... that's fine, because you can still follow each other as these platforms federate together through ActivityPub.

If any part of the ActivityPub network grows, all the platforms on the network get a bigger audience and all members get more potential friends.

Would folks who know they’ve got followers in Mid/North Wales be up for boosting?
