*scrolls through my instance’s # Trending timeline, noting the various hot topics of the moment.
Human Rights for refugees.
Rise of fascism.
Holiday driven capitalism.
Human rights for trans/queer people.
Pandemic
Human rights for humans.
Unemployment.
Poor healthcare.
War.
…. And sitting up the top of the list, trending at # 1, is my stupid joke about not being bitten by a werewolf.
It’s a stupid joke, and holds zero real importance. I didn’t write it. I found it on the internet somewhere. I have no idea who the original author is. It’s copypasta like almost all the jokes and memes I toot. But when I arrived on Mastodon over a year ago, silly jokes seemed to be rare, so that’s what I’ve endeavoured to provide. Silly jokes and dumb memes. Good ones though. Usually tasteful. Always with AltText. And with the aim of lightening the mood and lifting the spirits of this incredible community. Usually. Mostly.
I still sometimes get a little uncomfortable that they out-trend all that serious important stuff though.
