@gulovsen At first I thought federation with Meta would be a good thing because it would mean communicating with friends and family who are on Facebook and will never come here.

Then I remembered the kind of shit my friends and family post on Facebook…

Once upon a time, there was a community called Little Details on LiveJournal. It was a place where fiction writers of all kinds could ask for help with their fact-checking and research. It was anb amazing resource before the collapse of LiveJournal took it down.

I recently decided to try resurrecting it on Dreamwidth. It’s now open and ready for questions. Come check it out, and boost if you’re so inclined!

Normalize people being themselves and not saying they are cringe or weird for every damn quirk they have.

We are all hella fuckin’ weird and that’s okay! 💞

If I can give one piece of life advice:

Whenever someone geeks about something in front of you, or admits an ’embarrassing’ interest, just say:

“That sounds AMAZING. I don’t know anything about that. Tell me about it.”

Then just listen.

Not once in my life have I regretted it.

Jax stared at the alien on his doorstep — a short being in a silver suit, with grey skin, a big head, and dark eyes.

“Your music,” the alien said, “is too loud. We can hear it from the dimension next door….”

“Whoa!” said Jax. “From another dimension?”

Behind the alien stood a beautiful elf with pointed ears. “Yes. We hail from the world bordering yours on the other side. It’s quite loud.”

Jax glanced back at his friend. “Dude, I TOLD you this new sound system rocks!”

Flight Attendant: Sir, you can’t bring that bottle on the plane!!!

Me: It’s OK. It’s my emotional support whiskey.

Just a reminder to the many people who said we should care more about refugees than billionaires last week.
This week you’ve got to follow through and actually care more about refugees, or we’re all going to think you’re just in it for the hot takes.

I don’t make the rules…

One of the easiest ways to be courteous when arranging a call with another person in a different timezone is to specify times in their timezone, or at least be really clear which you are referring to.

This is a subtweet of all Americans who have ever asked me if we could do a call “in the morning”. I’m only mildly sadistic but generally this does make me suggest 11am… CET.

“Lately I’ve been really annoyed with the things I’m seeing in my feed, you’re all being so—“

Of all the things that annoy me the most, someone tone policing the Fediverse because they don’t know how to unfollow, filter, or Mute is at the top.

It’s controlled by who you follow.

So change who you follow.
