Wow, I haven't been on here in like five months.

Cleaning sure is a hell of a lot more fun when you can listen to your music at full blast.

Loved the video. I'm a big Kamala Khan fan and definitely feel Marvel has been really dropping the ball with her.

There's a significant difference, in my opinion, between interacting with showings of things most people there have already seen a hundred times like RHPS and the first theater run that for most of the audience it will be their first experience of the material.

Having read about a ten of your novels, you're one of the first authors I think of in terms of consistently great output, so I'm not surprised. I've never not strongly enjoyed anything I've read of yours and I don't think a could pick a favorite.

Today has been the morning of spending 5-15 minutes writing a comment and then thinking "You know what? This argument is not a good place to put my energy right now." and then deleting it. Rinse. Repeat.

Welcome!

I'm pleased to see so many people I know getting on this site lately.

I have my reasons for not being too active on this site yet, but once I resolve some things I plan for this to be my main public facing social media presence.

I totally forgot this site existed until a friend on Facebook posted they were now on it.

Working on the sprinkler system today...it strikes me how much trying to weave around a lawn full of active, rotating sprinklers without getting wet feels like being in a Super Mario Brothers game.

Internet media is in a no-win situation where stoking outrage and divisiveness is how they got eyes on ads, but now advertisers are sick of dealing with the backlash that has been starting to create for them as people realize the way to hurt platforms is to hurt their advertisers.

I watched The Marvel's last night, and was pretty happy with it. Absolutely silly popcorn fare, but that's honestly what I was hoping for. I could have done without the musical bit, and there's some moments of tonal whiplash, but I was never bored.

Sometimes social media feels like microdosing hundreds of virtual friendships to stave off the loneliness of a society that trains us that our needs should be met by commercial products and services rather than each other.

The normal point of failure for me and new social media platforms tends to be that not enough of my friends adopt the platform for me to not crawl back to established platforms. I think this is a common problem that hamstrings new platforms.

I'm not sure what can be done about this issue.

I finally get to check this place out.

At first, I wasn't super into the idea of a new social media platform whose hook seems to be that Twitter 2.0, but now that I'm here I'm feeling a bit of excitement for a fresh start on a new platform while I'm in such a transitional stage of my own life.
