It’s so hilarious/fortunate/sad that that was the name of the file. We will never find the others now.

hoping this isn’t leading to a sewer opening or sketchy van uh….sure…?

Here in kbin you have to know the whole long address

The @ of the person do you want to follow

The full @ of the mastodon server

two for two on forgetting to close my quotes 🤯

KAY bin … right? (RIGHT??

Going a little bit different direction than some of the other responses, I feel like hash-tagging (wait that’s called something else now…?) content is important in helping people to find you in searching. And I’m thinking of search as a particularly important function as platforms like this are growing.

I see posts that are heavily (15 or more) tagged… that may not even qualify as “heavily” out here in the fediverse, just something new to me.

Been thinking about this a little bit and how I can personally lean into it versus my own insecurities. So this is a way for me to exercise self-promotion.

So I guess I could finish that thought —

This is a place I imagine as someplace are actively contribute to. I’ve been gone for a few days, and I’m just realizing today how worn out I’ve been.

I dig it here so far

good looking out ✌🏾

It’s a column called “Ths Soapbox”

howling into the void

Yep that’s what feels like, and it’s part of starting a community because how is anyone going to find you if you’re not making any noise?

It’s actually exciting. During my first week around here, someone framed it as the shift from consuming content to making contact and I found that really compelling

The other thing I’m thinking about is how the other site was like joining a conversation, but here we are starting conversations

#ElectionsHaveConsequences

Holy crap this is endgame. The head of the judicial body is too concerned about the feelings of the body?

So, just logically. I have a personal commitment and value to something. And somebody gets mad at me about it. My values and commitment should be able to withstand that? Yes? As soon as someone has a different opinion it’s like “I can’t bear to hear a different opinion (clutches pearls) and I can’t stand to have my opinion critiqued”

For you and me and the lady in the checkout line (and I say that as a lady who is often in checkout lines), that’s great. But this is the head of the judicial body of one of the most powerful nations - most powerful democracies - on earth. These are opinions that shape the lives of 300 million people at least. And he’s gonna be there for another quarter of a century.

Like how many steps is Roberts from a kind of de facto chilling effect, and I’m not trying to be funny

Thank God for the generations who hear a public figure try to corral or control a situation and then begin to act in doing the exact opposite. Definitely need to remind the conservative justices that there are people out here

End rant (for now)

I have an inner critic that I’m trying to understand. It’s a part of me protecting me from risk/vulnerability. My plan/hope is to appreciate that the critic is trying to protect me and also not have the last word. It’s hard. I’ve been in therapy forever, but that’s OK.

I believe editing words is its own special kind of hell, lol. Having to come back and look at some thing you wrote is … I’m trying to find a way to make that not be a drag and I haven’t found it yet.

yo that’s niiiice
