Age 47. One year closer to my final form, of the crone cackling in the thunderstorm with her grey hair spiraling around her head as her gnarled fingers point your way and she whispers your doom. I didn't get cake stuff at the store. Darn.

Being new to both Mastadon and CoSo I can't really say, but I just saw a massively polarized fight where every statement was taken in the most offensive manner by people within the same political party, and everyone was putting all kinds of words into each other's mouths, so it's just Twitter now? Or is that an only occasional thing there? I still can't get past the stage of trying to connect with it.
