I was told once that Mastodon is a friendly void that yells back. I really like that.

The world is a big place filled with terrible and wonderful things. I sometimes comment on them at length.

What do you do for your birthday? Honestly, I am very curious.

@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@somcak oh a real deep cozy day! I love it.

@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@MarkAsser ahh, that makes sense. My birthday is around now so it's hard to hide around another holiday.

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@CoachMark oh nice! Like, do you take the family to an evening or prepare a special item at home? That sounds like a fantastic time!

Deciding that you will bring violence and arrests to students at a college famous for its computer technologists is an interesting choice.

There is a little girl busy explaining something rather exciting to her...father? He is older but not quite grandparent older so I'm guessing older Dad.

She is bouncing and talking with her hands and jumping excitedly as she discussed something just absolutely wonderful for her. He is laughing while she talks and has a wonderful smile on his face. He likely isn't keeping up with the story but the joy in their hearts as they move down the sidewalk is amazing. She has his hand, his attention, and all is right in the world.

Worth pointing out I did this tweet back when was just an online asshole and not NECESSARILY the actual looming fascist threat to civilization referenced in the joke.

@GrimmReality your instincts were spot on

@GrimmReality probably smart in this ecosystem.

Really shake things up, give them advice for how to organize their lives and grow past you. See what happens.

wicked mean delinquent children who are mean to their poor elderly teacher

“why would you need to go home to update a website?”

It never ends.

@bruce true story, I used to make art with them!
Fish scales, wheels, break them up and use the backside for reflective surface... Etc.
Kids don't need quality materials to explore and it was a cheap way to repurpose junk.

I am a parent of a 20-year-old college student. Trust me when I say these young adults are VERY knowledgeable and informed about what is happening in Gaza and the history of the region. It’s so insulting for the media to portray these students as clueless.

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@DrPsyBuffy The media likes to play up the age I think to help objectify the students for the viewers. It's gross and unhelpful. I'm glad your student has your example to follow.

The Atlantic has some of the best coverage on campus protests. The first link is by Jill Filipovic, criticizing other media for its misrepresentation. She notes that some media whitewashes pro-Hamas demands while conservative media ignores that some students are generally anti-war and not there because they are antisemitic. Some of the counter-protesters, especially the violent ones, have their own opportunist reasons rather than pro-Israel ones.

@KydiaMusic Music has such a wonderful space in our world. Lyrics and poetic musings... mmmmm

@Davidrichard Oh yes! I have that album upstairs! I refuse to believe it was released so long ago.

It has been but moments! 3.. maybe 5...Robert is still writing his stories for us fresh! :blobcatgiggle:

@Davidrichard I have drifted into the lands of Cyndi Lauper - Time after Time.

@Davidrichard Oh yes! All of that!

Cutting Crew, Paul Simon, Genesis, REO Speedwagon, Mellencamp :blobcatgiggle:

My musical tastes go literally all over the board. I am as inclined to listen to Alannah Myles Black Velvet and segway right into Sam Smith - I'm not here to make friends

Today has been throaty, lyrically heavy and very story driven. I love it. :blobcatdj:

Today we learned that our elderly neighbour(the man) went to sleep for the last time in the hospital :sad_cat:

A little while ago he was fallen again and broke the upper leg and got into the hospital. He was in much pain and it went worse quickly unfort

He did get to say goodbye to the family and was in reasonable state for that❤️

It feels kinda weird since I was helping them out recently with (something simple) like the TV and now she's living somewhere else and he is basically gone🕯️

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@stux time passes and causes a lot of mixed emotions for those of us left behind.

I'm glad he was able to say goodbye to his family. I'm glad he isn't suffering any longer.

An audiobook that is 8 hours of breathing and page turning with a surprised “Oh, out loud?” right at the end.

@Chrishallbeck I'm available and have the equipment. :blobcatgiggle:

I don't know how popular the Kickstarter would be - but the campaign would be hilarious to write.
