And Marquee Moon by Television randomly started on the radio, and we turned it up as loud as my 6 year old would allow.
It lessened the blow of fastening behind an EPA-traktor, the bane of Swedish country roads.

Spring is here, people, and it’s such a pleasure and relief.

Apparently that’s impossible now without coughing up.

Neither of us knows what we’re doing. Mostly just hitting stuff and wandering around.
The egg hunt was somewhat anticlimactic, but catching a first fish, and building a pointless bridge were oddly rewarding.

On the one hand I hope that’s all they’ll be. On the other, his developing chickenpox now is better than later.
Ugh

I think I might be more worn out than him atm
😅

17.1.2025 10:30Goodbye David Lynch.I’m tentatively dipping my toe into Threads’ waters and found it mostly a positive experience. Although there seem to be reactionaries to almost anything, there is engagement nonetheless, and many positive and supportive interactions.

Perhaps it’s the morphine.
Perhaps not.

30.11.2024 16:46Perhaps a skill to reaquire before doomsday.When I try following hashtags I realise that many users haven’t posted for 6 months to a year, which suggests that others also quickly bored with mastadon.
I kind of want to keep posting. It’s like a little diary.
But then a lot of my posts are unavailable to me. At least with X they’d still be there.
I could just buy a diary I suppose. But writing longhand hurts nowadays 😆

Maybe I should try X to see if it’s become as bad as sometimes claimed.

I don’t...Apart from the opportunity for longer posts, and one’s political leanings, I don’t see mastadon as anything better than X. Mastadon has certainly not offered a similar social experience.
To be fair I left what was then twitter over a decade ago, simply because it took up too much time. But it was an experience that I enjoyed for the most part.
