I have been having such a hard time getting involved in current events. Without fakebook (just learned that one) I really don't have much of an effective network anymore. If anyone is involved with anything actionable, please let me know!

In the meantime, nice.

Since deciding to watch the x-files for the first time, I keep getting ads for medication for people 50+. It's hilarious to me that not only does it figure I'm old because I'm watching the x-files, but also that I've now confused The Algorithm.

Boy I sure hope it's platonic

In my attempt to learn Russian, a green unicorn-owl with a butt chin and pogo-stick legs decided to flirt with me saying I'm like a freshwater pearl. I'm not sure how to handle this.

If you don't know about the protests happening simultaneously in all 50 states right now, you should

I suppose I have significantly less chaos going on than I did the, so while extremely grateful, I am also sorry you had to deal with me 😆

Literally my picture though

He is a magician what did he do with 21 of those years!?

Tfw you find out your best friend asks people as a getting-to-know-you question how often they jump on things because you jump on things, because they consider that an important metric 🥹

Everyone who meets me for the first time thanks I'm 25. Considering how much of my time and memory I've lost, I suspect I should be 25.

I'm about to drop down to part time and I'm so excited to see humans and also have the energy to do so. I'mma come bug you, nerd! (If that's ok)

The first few days were hilariously difficult though.

So I'm noticing since I got off the horrible Bacefook that I've actually had significantly more focus and energy. I have a dissociative disorder, right? I never know how I feel. But the difference has been dramatic, and I'm actually surprised. I thought it was a subtle little thing.

Thank god

I think anything that anyone does with real passion they do with fun.

Deepseek was the world news I needed. 😊

And idk if it's because my posts about the middle east were controversial, or if I was tagged on some list to be reduced from the algorithm, but the responses to anything I get on FB have been about quartered. I get the sense that silencing is happening.

I'm having a hard time looking at the news. Ice raids at Market Basket. Drumpf policies everywhere. Tiktok thanks the president. Bacefook security changes. This is getting actually scary and actually fucked.

No, my life was the joke. 😳

That's *extraordinarily* helpful!

I am not therefore I cannot skeet! Yeah I suppose that makes sense. I'll just post quickly and then not look at it for hours to discover a typo. Hypothetically speaking.

It occurs to me that Bluesky should invest in an edit setting for posts...

Me, to @getaflip.bsky.social misreading epitaphs in the graveyard books at work: "yeah, me too buddy. All I want on my headstone when I die is 'Oof'".
Flip: "Here like Max." Long pause. "Oof."

Oh, I see. This platform makes me want to rant. Oh, you're all in for it now. 😆

It occurs to me that most platforms end up just reinventing basic television. Mindless videos, propaganda, and ads. That's what other social media apps do, it's what many streaming services do, and I'm sure it makes some short haired tech cultists in CA feel very clever, but it's not even original.

Out of curiosity has anyone heard any updates about our Lord and Savior Luigi's Mansion?
Pretty sure the algorithms have been hiding him on purpose.
