Gang I am losing my mind. I have a tiny fraction of a mystery song stuck in my head. It's a voice that sounds almost like a duck quacking "wawawa" and then doing it again at a lower pitch. Pleasee save me if you know what this is

Very cool of my bindings to break apart as soon as I get to the peak

2024: you can tell it's edited because her right hand appears 6% blurrier than the bottom left third of her face and the shadow behind her is 2 inches to the left of where it should be

1917: I saw this picture and now I believe in fairies

Hello! I have maybe a silly question about here - when I'm tootscrolling, I often see posts that have very few favourites but a lot of reposts. On other platforms that typically only happens when people are quote posting to dunk on someone, but that's clearly not the case here.

Am I missing a Mastodon etiquette where reposting things you like is standard but favouriting is not? Or do numbers on favourites not display properly?

My guide to signing off work emails

"Sincerely," too formal👎
"Cheers," too PNW coded👎
"Best," too cold👎

"I love you," positive, supportive, team player, heartfelt 👍👍👍

When I was a kid ordering takeout I used to say "love you, bye" before I hung up, and then my mom had to go pick it up and face them. She said I'd understand how embarrassing and immature this was when I grew up but you know what it's still funny

"quasar" is a fun word in astronomy. It's short for quasi-stellar object - things that look a lot like stars but not quite the same. Like some stellar uncanny valley.

I made a little video about why they look different, and what they turned out to be

Every field has at least a few terms that sound absolutely ridiculous to anyone who hasn't heard them before and I want to hear yours

In the 1940's people liked to do these whimsical little things to counter the darkness like make up a fake posh accent for movies or sign a cat up for the coast guard.

I made a video about the latter if you'd like to hear a little more: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2lS0lWPph4/?igsh=eThoemU3a3RrZm8z

This week I left a job without anything else lined up. There's a limit to what I'm willing to tolerate, and my former company's leadership went well beyond it. It's a scary freefall now, but I'm proud I stood up to our CEO on behalf of my team, and bummed I had to end it like this.
