Watching old DS9 episodes. My heart broke for Garak tonight. It's the episode in which his implant malfunctions. As an autistic person who will never see home again, I wanted to cry with him when he said living on the station is torture, and it's always too cold and the lights are always too bright.

^^ Why does #BlueSky succeed to such a massive extent while CounterSocial grows slowly?

It's mostly because the algorithms used by big social media are deliberately designed to trigger a dopamine response.

As a new user to those platforms, your experience is manipulated by fake engagement to make you feel good about participating. You're also shown what you like, as inferred from the data it collects about you the moment you join.

It's addictive, like a drug, and likewise created for profit.

Today's food pic is my challah.

I get the irony of celebrating losing 2 pounds with a 370 calorie fancy donut, but I am "making good choices" dammit!

«Western countries are so far removed from fascism, coddled by modern society's comforts, and lucky enough to have avoided war on their soil, that the populations therein have legitimately forgotten what it's like to live in a world without democracy. Taking it for granted. We forget that the ease with which we move through life is dependent upon complicated governmental/cultural/social/economic systems, which people before us spent entire generations developing so that we may bear their fruit.»

I Made Puerto Rican habichuelas guisadas.

Hopped on bluesky as everyone is like, so many people are adding me! I get on and check out the starter packs and make a couple posts? *crickets*

Yep. Sounds about right.

One of my oldest plants blessing me with actually blooming. #GrowAllTheThings
