Some of my other unpopular opinions include:- Actually, you do own things even if you can’t repair them - Fiddling with software is boring and there’s no inherent virtue in it - Your hot take on How We Relate to Technology Now also applies to weaving, injection moulding, and organic synthesis - Sometimes the root problem isn’t capitalism

@alex Reputation? I doubt I’m the only admin who wouldn’t trust an instance that didn’t process deletes

Good morning. Today is my birthday - I’m beginning the celebrations with an extra-large load of laundry

Reminder to please CW anything to do with politics and particularly “look at the awful things these right-wingers are doing”. Being able to choose when and how to engage is important and makes a big difference to the overall mood of the timeline.And please don’t boost politics posts with no CWs either - I’ve been seeing a lot of that recently from new arrivals

Remember doomscrolling? Remember the constant low-level anxiety of “can’t do anything about this but I can’t look away either”? You have the option not to do that here on fedi, and the option not to inflict it on others

Today’s card is The Fool - joy, innocence, the beginning of a journey. Free from the structures of her old life she dances to her personal music, filled with joy and optimism. What lies ahead may be unknown, but she trusts her instincts to carry her on

Trans Safety Network have an instance on fedi now - social.transsafety.networkI‘m choosing to mute them because constant updates on what the bigots are up to are bad for my mental health but that’s not a judgement on the valuable work they do

If you’re trans though, I advise caution with how much attention you pay to transphobes. Making you feel tired, scared, and/or overwhelmed is the point of what they do, as is getting their voices amplified to make it seem like they’re more than a tiny minority of people. Trans joy is the best weapon against them and doomscrolling is the death of joy

Another thing to be careful of, especially if you’re dealing with internalised transphobia, is that paying too much attention to transphobes can be a form of self harm. Take care of yourself and beware of feeding your self-hated under the guise of activism

Today’s card is the Page of Cups, wishing you an unexpected friend or a flash of inspiration. Don’t overthink - trust your intuition and go with it

@bri_seven This time it feels more like it keeps popping up and (white) people keep trying to ignore it. Makes me feel uncomfortable when I read another of those true-as-far-as-they-go pieces about how Mastodon was shaped by marginalised people

Today’s card is the Nine of Pentacles - abundance, comfort, satisfaction. You’ve put a lot of work into achieving some stability and now it’s time to enjoy what you have

You can just be a girl if you want. It’s okay. Or a boy, or something else, or no gender at all. You’re not too old, or too young, or too much, or not enough, or trespassing, or appropriating, or causing trouble. It’s okay. Really.But the important thing is: do what you want, not what you think you’re allowed. Find the joy and follow that. You can experiment and you can change your mind. That’s okay too. #TransAwarenessWeek

Today’s card, which I was too busy to post in the morning, has been the Seven of Cups. So many choices and so many precious things arrayed before you - love, wisdom, success, power, the treasures of the earth. But not every choice is a good one and your head’s lost in the clouds. Best get yourself grounded and start doing the work before you make a mistake

Going to move to weirder.earth soon, I think. Checking my alt there made me realise I miss having a local timeline. And it’ll be a good place to ride out the fun I expect when the influx slows down and conflicts start to emerge

Ah, fuck - weirder.earth has mastodon.scot suspended. For a decent reason - no one wants to be federating with cops - but I know and like a bunch of people on there :-(

I think I want to change my avatar too. It’s a cool look, but masks and spooky distancing feel like a mood from when I was just starting to transition. That’s for later though - don’t want people to lose track of who I am

@soapone And why would someone who says “kek” and comes from an instance for “horsefucker degenerates” love open federation, I wonder? :thonking:
