It struck me that Mastodon might be some (many?) people's first experiences with a communication tool not run by a corporation.
reminder that your bisexuality is valid even if you have never dated
reminder that your bisexuality is valid even if you have only dated people of one gender
reminder that bi girls are not "basically straight" and bi boys are not "basically gay"

Re: my last repost...
The idea that a #queer person can't know they're queer unless they've had a romantic/sexual connection, but straight people are considered straight from birth, makes me REALLY ANGRY.
Instagram: My life is a party.
Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show.
Facebook: My life turned out great!
Twitter: We're all going to die.
Mastodon: Don't worry, while we are on a quirky, meandering path towards an inevitable apocalypse, we might as well enjoy the ride and show eachother some love in an unorthodox, yet irresistible manner, not in any way hindered by considerations of style, identity or consistency.
now I'm real™ too!!! ✅
Recently back from an impromptu astrophotography session at Parsley Hay in The Peak District. The moon was a little bright to go really deep and the Milky Way hadn't risen by the time I left but all in all good practice and got a great shot of the moon!

I made a diagram to help you understand how the different timelines/columns work:

(often people say "identify as" about trans people and "is/are" about cis people, which is very obvious cissexism.)
other reminder: I do not "identify as" my gender or sexuality. I *am*.
So I'm multiply neurodivergent, including autism, ADHD, mh stuff, migraines.
random reminder: "neurodiverse" is about diversity, thus applies to groups. A single person can be neurotypical or (possibly multiply) neurodivergent/neuroatypical. Neurodivergence isn't just about autism or developmental disabilities.

follow bots suck because:
1. they follow everyone, which means your users get zero choice who to federate with at all
2. they follow everyone, which means if people want private toots to not be seen by everyone running a follow bot they have to block all of them
3. they follow everyone, even private accounts, and they have no memory of who they previously tried to follow, meaning they'll follow people over and over and over
4. they remind me of those birdsite BUY FREE FOLLOWERS spambots

Shabbat Shalom for all for whom this is a thing.
The REAL 7 habits of highly successful people:
1) Being born into a rich family
2) Not having to face discrimination
3) Going to a private school with exceptional support
4) Going to an exclusive university where you can build contacts with other rich people and get opportunities most people don't have
5) Having good credit history because you've never struggled to pay bills, making it easy for you to get investments
6) Financial safety nets
7) Politicians bend over backwards for you
my god, that's right isn't it. raising children *is* basically training a neural network, isn't it. except that you have no control of the data sources, you have limited control of the data sources that come from you, you can't suspend the learning, and there's no turning back once they learn something.
I... I... need a moment to lie down in a feral position as this sinks in 😱

"Why should political posts be tagged?"
Some people simply wish to be mentally prepared for news. As well, some people may wish to go to Mastodon so they can escape from the news. Honestly, it doesn't matter why, just be respectful to other people's wishes since tagging political posts is quite easy.
