Why am I on social media? Well, it’s fun! But also, I’ve made lifelong friends and gotten actual jobs through social media. Why wouldn’t I be here?

Asking a book lover what their favorite book is is like asking a parent who their favorite child is. Don’t make me choose 🥺

A 30-year-old woman has been critically injured after being pushed in front of a moving train. Just 1 year since Michelle Go was killed. 15 people have been pushed off subway platforms in NYC this year alone!

We need subway doors on every platform, in every city.

We need infrastructure funding.

We need public transportation that is safe and reliable for all.

Don’t accept less.

We all have a limited amount of time in this world. I'm going to use mine wisely by not bothering to read that latest Andreessen rant.

People who are more conservative than me: completely wrong on all counts

People who are more liberal than me: somehow also completely wrong on all counts

Me agreeing to something months in advance: No problem, that’s plenty of time!

Me the day before it’s due: Oh no

Now I'm getting yelled at for "disrespecting film photography", which is both a very weird interpretation of anything I've posted (or think) and a very weird thing to get this upset about.

Is there any Mastodon app that lets you customize how many words you see per post? My attention span is asking for faster scrolling 🤐

I wish I were seeing the norms @tiffanycli mentions followed a bit more tightly (have had to do some muting and unfollowing in the past few days, which is rare), but also don’t want to be one of those jerks shaming people for not following norms that aren’t expressed in the UX. 🤷🏽 https://mastodon.social/@tiffanycli/111212888542523743

I love academia because it’s full of people who are so, so smart about one specific thing and so, so dumb at all other aspects of life

When violent and tragic events happen around the world, I really appreciate the norms around content warnings here on Mastodon 🙏
