@Sekhapada Thank you. 💜 My understanding of "prayer" is rather broad, so I value that energy.

@MrGoat Absolutely going to start using the phrase "eloning my musk"!

Everyone in my house is vaccinated and takes precautions, and this is still the second time I've had covid. Third time for another family member.

I'm open about it because this is bad enough, but could be so much worse without the vaccine and precautions.

Today, fever is the highest it's been so far. Breathing is fine, but nothing else is. My whole scalp is turning into a giant stress hive. And I spent probably half a hour, but maybe just 10 minutes, ranting to my cat about Tycho Brahe.

@meuon I'm really likeable. I don't even have a "resting bitch face". I have a "resting friend face". And I grew up in the South, so I'm trained to always consider how what I'm going to say will make the other person feel. Maybe I don't need fewer friends. I just need to learn it's okay to set boundaries.

@ruralgal62 Good news! People are kind here! I came over about a week ago and this is a wonderful space.

Take some time to adjust. People don't argue about everything, and there's no algorithm to try fight. So we don't have to beg for followers or try to force interaction. And you can ask questions without fear of being looked down on.

@ProjectUnmanaged And let us not forget Hedy Lamarr, who was basically told to just go be pretty because women didn't need to be so smart.

I need to figure out how much I would have to pay someone to not like me. It is difficult to collect info on this. People either don't like me for free, or insist that they will continue to like me and could not possibly be paid to do otherwise.

@ProjectUnmanaged I am absolutely delighted by "For the love of Grace Hopper". I never feel like she gets enough recognition.

@pattydee2000 I've got no idea on that. I could make up some things, but that would just be speculation with nothing to back it up.

@99reasons4truth Because of this post, I just spent the last hour falling in love with a little Ukrainian dog. 💙💛

I didn't expect I'd be able to get any writing done while sick, but I'm up to 24,404 words now for #NaNoWriMo !

@th3j35t3r Maybe my weird thoughts about him wrecking things in order to make Bluesky look like a good idea aren't quite as weird as I've been telling myself they are.

@ruffboi Well, I mean... remember when everybody was all about Bastion for a while? Same developers. They do good stuff.
