It’s a rich tapestry of “open offices are distracting” people and “I’ve never gone this long without being sick” people and “commutes are a waste of time I don’t get paid for” people and “I’m an introvert and playing house with coworkers sucks the life out of me” people and “I have a family and appreciate the flexibility” people and “I primarily communicated with coworkers through Slack anyway” people and “no one wa…

Humans: “oh thank fucking god”

Aliens: “wait what?”

I’ve dropped a note to #NPR via https://help.npr.org/contact/s/contact?request=Other encouraging them to launch their own instance of #Mastodon (since they now are off #Twitter and could benefit from moving all their accounts here).

I encourage everyone here to do the same and boost this so we can show them there’s an audience for their accounts here.

We really need your help Mastodon. They moved up my kidney transplant because my kidney is so bad I may not make it until next month. My best friend needs food in the house and I need to have proper furniture to make me comfortable so I can heal. This is urgent.

Aquarium guide: Yes, they are small but they’re called pocket sharks because of the fluid filled pockets near their gills.

Me: *shark snout peeking out of water filled pocket* Oh right, I knew that.

Aquarium guide: Please put it back.

Me: *whispers to self* Pocket shark is mine 🥺

Why do we hate the Yankees?

Money. They have enough to make Solomon BLUSH. And they’re jerks about it. Everyone has to fit the mold these days.

Also? Their fans. They made racist remarks towards our Kwan last year and they can fuck themselves for that.
