Think I might start unfollowing everyone who posts AI-looking art. I get that it might be okay for some people, but it makes my stomach churn a little bit every time I see it. Why willingly keep taking it in? 🌈✨

If you could pause body aging, what age would you have paused at, and why?

@RickiTarr
I wouldn’t pause it yet. It’s an interesting part of the adventure.

“. . . If shaming is supposed to be productive or transformative, it’s not at all clear that it is working. In fact, in varied contexts, the shamed person or group often retaliates against the shamer, or against a hapless third party.”

jinxie:
“jinxie” was the name of a friend’s cat. reminds me too of a trickster or prankster, whom the joke is on, as well. an embrace of whoops & whoa & a sparkle in the eye shared by all involved. being charmed, under a spell. jinxed. also the “jinx” of a mirrored response. a dyadic utterance, unplanned. hijinx. happenstance. call me jinxie.

What is one of your best rainy day memories?

My Cousin Sarah and I got to stay at our Great Grandma's house together, and it was raining, and she told us we didn't have to be cooped up, we could go play in the rain. This was very exciting, because it's not something our parents would have gone for. So we twirled around and leapt in puddles and licked raindrops off rose petals. When we were done our Gran put us in a hot bath, and made us hot tea and treats. She brought out a big bag of costume jewelry and let us go through it, we tried everything on, and thought we were very fancy, and she let us keep our favorite ones.

One of my aunts said today that she knows somebody whose baby is due on the 30th “this month.”

This world’s timeline is shifting even more than I thought!

I am really enjoying
seeing more and more organizations here getting better at Fediversing and:

Adding alt-text to their pictures 📝​

Adding appropriate hashtags #️⃣​

Verifying themselves ✅​

And engaging with people directly instead of only communicating one-way 🗨️​💬​

Good job y'all! 🏆​

This is the way.

I have an idea of a cave of gems that I keep. Each magical encounter in my life is a gem. With each gem, I have a choice: I can crack it open and see what’s inside, meaning I further pursue contact with the person, or I put it in my cave, where it either remains a beautiful gem or eventually hatches. If I break it or it hatches, the gem is destroyed, so if I choose to crack open the gem, it’s a gamble: will what’s inside be more beautiful than the gem itself?

My new website of magical frolics, built by me as I relearned HTML, is up. ✨

No more Facebook, Wordpress, Twitter, Patreon, evil website-design sites (like Wix), evil webhosts, or Substack. This is all mine, downloadable with a click if I ever want to move it. I’m exhausted but happy.

What is the most ridiculous question or complaint that you've had from a Customer/Client?

@RickiTarr
“The bacon is TOUCHING the turkey?!?! THAT’S HOW YOU GET WORMS!!”

That was only part of the rant. I ducked behind the deli case and snuck around behind the divider when I saw that customer coming back later. I was so grateful for my coworker who took it from there.

@RickiTarr the kind of worms that spontaneously generate when bacon touches turkey, don’cha know
