Content warning:antifascist politics

Minor epiphany: maybe I SHOULD police my tone when talking about enemies of democracy, actually...
Consider the tactical disadvantages of warning your foe: you lost the element of surprise, and for what? Now they're better prepared to confront you!
That's not helpful.
I should wear the flayed skin of civility like camouflage. I might smile demurely so they turn away convinced I'm not a threat.
When a fascist is dragged to hell they should NAZI IT COMING!🙃

crazy stupid idea:
a hand cranked heat pump.
why? For warming up food with neither combustion nor an external electricity supply. Yes, literally just a hot plate. Bonus: I can burn off some of the unnecessary calories I'm racking up on cranking it! X3

@scalzi holy shit, you, john scalzi, are here on MASTODON?

i know it's not your biggest work but i will always love your contributions to Metatropolis. I still feel like it is still an all too hauntingly believable possibility for our immediate future... and that's if we're *lucky*.

seriously whoever decided to call this "mastodon" really fucked up bigtime and the longer it goes by that name the harder a time it's going to have being shown up by inferior newcomers like bluesky and threads. there needs to be less friction for users to get on board.

Loner Life in Another World is cute and fun to watch. What's nice is that it demonstrates the value of humility and diligence. Protag-kun EARNS the respect of others by being resourceful, insightful, and helpful. If only more people should try that. That's actually how it works. Not that everything is transactional but that it helps a lot to have something to offer.

But we all know how terribly suddenly things can change these days...
I've canceled all my streaming subscriptions and have been avoiding fast food and entertainment expenses. Hopefully, if she ever ends up needing an evacuation route, I might be able to deploy one by then, if I am vigilant and diligent with my planning in the interim.

And now I've got 2fa set up. Still gonna be a long adjustment phase, but I'll only get used to this place through effort.

Man I'm gonna be bummed if this instance turns out to have been defederated a lot... Maybe should've checked that first x_x;

Now instead of being starved for content, I have a billion haystacks to search for needles within XD jeez i hope i'll have the patience to keep this up. Gotta find my 'tribe' on here all over again. Presuming they're even here instead of sequestered on private instances...

hello world.
i was @stonehawk on x, but that places is a dumpster fire and i find myself exhausted just by looking at the place.
i tried bluesky and i exist on another instance but i don't like the closed nature of bluesky and the other instance is starting to feel too quiet and isolated for me. now to set up my profile and all that happy jazz....
