  Goodnight, dear Fedi. My apologies to those uninterested in or triggered by US Politics. I tried to hashtag my posts but missed a bunch. I appreciate your forbearance. Tomorrow I will return to my usually scheduled assortment of mostly private transgender shitposts and FediD&D planning. So, the elections went well, and we elected a fascist-lite majority to replace the outright-fascists. I can at least sleep now. Oh, and #uspol #tiredPosting #GoodNight

  (AP) — Democrat Katy Padilla Stout wins election to U.S. House in Texas’ 23rd Congressional District https://apnews.com/live/midterm-election-2026#000001a1-a529-d8c8-afb7-f5edf0f00000 That’s 208 seats called out of the 218 needed before I can sleep soundly. #uspol

  Poll: I used to DM back in the late 1970s. I’ve avoided getting back into it because modern D&D gameplay mechanics seem to have grown much more complex than player-driven style I preferred. If I ran an asynchronous informal adventure here in the fediverse using 1970s old-school minimalist D&D rules and no experience needed, would anyone want to join in? Gameplay would be rather slow given the asynchronous nature, so I would aim for something close to 1:1 time passage, UTC. I might try...

  Meta blocking Indivisible today. Growing attacks on fediverse instances. Plans to deploy ICE to polling places. Extra-judicial killings. Disappearances. Trans and Somali scapegoats. Protecting rapists and pedophiles. Suppressing dissent. Repressing political rivals. Destroying the free press. I don’t understand how anyone can have any doubts about just how far gone USA is already. Take care of yourselves. Take care of your neighbors. Resist tyranny. Eat the rich.

  I had a rather down day today that involved never actually getting dressed and this is my first outdoor venture since last night. Still dressed i just a linen robe. I tried to take a bunny pic, but the little fluff would not stand still long enough to be anything but a blur. So you get the moon instead. My apologies to any toes I stepped on today here in the fediverse. Please be nice to the fox girl. Picture promise: a relaxing evening skyscape

  I am far more likely now when I read a reply from someone being an asshole to block them and move on than to try to engage them. Just did this with some dude whose bio describes him as a “South African Christian”. Less stress for me. Less strife in the world overall. So what if there is an asshole wandering the ‘verse and reply-guying? He wasn’t going to listen to me anyway. I sometimes wish that blocks would increment a counter on the blocked profile next to the follow counts so everyone el...

  I want a browser that loads only the first 10 KB of html and then displays whatever it got. I am on a 1Gbps fiber connection and frequently visiting a website will stall as the browser apparently loads megabytes of useless scripting code before displaying anything. If the site can’t show me something interesting with 10KB of HTML, I am not interested in letting it load more cruft. #Web1WasTheBestWeb

  C’mon fedizens. If someone‘s account requires approval for follow requests, at least pretend to read their profile/bio before you request to follow.

  How do you interpret it when someone lists pronouns as he/they with no other info on their bio? (Choose all that apply)

  I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stop getting distracted and go get yourself something liquid to drink. We are all just fish descendants who brought the ocean with us in a big porous flesh bag. Keep your fish cells happy, hydrated, and at the appropriate salinity! Hydrate and maintain your electrolytes. I am drinking a tall glass of fresh water from my 85-meter-deep well with a healthy dollop of black currant and blueberry juice. What are you drinking? #hydrate #WeAreFish

  well fuck you AppleTV what the actual hell? I watched the first episode of Dark Matters and it seemed like an interesting premise. And the second episode was likewise excellent right up until the final scene when some sick twisted tv creator decides that shooting a women in the head is just peachy keen. a woman character who by this point the show has very intentionally led women viewers to identify with and brought to an arousing moment. what the fuck is wrong with men like Blake Crouch? is...

  If someone tries to guilt me into donating, they will never get anything from me. I refuse to let sociopaths in the guise of non-profits try to manipulate me. That pretty much covers all organized charities with their “annual appeal letters” this time of year. I am not saying that all charities are scams or that all fundraising letters are manipulative. But most of them feel that way, don’t they? How do I know who is real and who is a grifter? How do I make sure that my limited funds are helpin...

  i fucking hate home repair. I hate that former me was into it and was reasonably good at it. I hate lying on my back in a small closet with my kerchief falling off my head getting wallboard dust in my hair, patching a broken wall with work gloves on while trying to keep from breaking my beautiful fingernails. I hate that my brain keeps thinking my muscles are dense and strong and my skin as tough as leather and makes me keep doing things that hurt me! Yes, I know consciously that much of this i...

  I need some friendly advice on what to wear to a 76th Street concert tonight. Poll in the next comment, but feel free to suggest whatever. The concert is at Empire Underground in Albany (USA) which describes the space as: “Literally underground, this space is what music dreams are made of. The room is designed to put acts and audience closer, making the experience perfect for creating the connection where show magic happens. At a max capacity of 350, this space is perfect for well attended sho...

  I just opined in a reply that we need a Signal subsidiary to be setup as a USA HIPAA “covered entity” to give medical providers a better way to communicate with patients than patient portal apps.

  Ongoing fascist takeover of my country plus relationship struggles plus period cramps are making it very hard to appreciate the beautiful autumn weather outside. My son calling me today to tell me he is very happy to call me his mother made it a bit easier.

  it is disheartening how many public posts I start writing, then turn into followers-only posts, then delete unsent because I know they would increase the odds however minutely of attracting unwanted attention from the fascists and their ilk. In other words, they have already destroyed the most important part of the country that I loved so much. #EatTheRich

  Thank you so much to one of my favorite ceramic artists, @moonrabbit of https://driftingspirits.art for these spirit friends. Autumn dusk and gentle fog bear arrived safely from their transatlantic voyage to join the gentle fox of stars. I think the shop is still open so be sure to take a look and maybe find some new spirit friends to share your home!! #MastoArt #Shinto #Ceramics #Shamanism

  I ain’t a man Saying “biological men shouldn’t play women’s sports” is blowing a nazi dog whistle, loud and clear. The nazis hear it. Do you? Do you vote for nazis? I don’t. “Biological men” sounds so medical, so scientific. Just like the master and slave races of fake-science eugenics that the Nazis learned from US enslavers. It’s just bigotry. It ain’t science. What even are “biological men?” People who are biological? We are all biological, and I ain’t a man. People with an endocrine s...
