#sewing and #tailoring friends, I’ve done some simple stuff before (think pillow cases, hemming pants). Where is the best place to start learning to make my own clothes?

Columbia, SC airport: 0/5 stars, would not recommend

Maybe it’s just me, but the garter toss feels like such a gross tradition

I somehow once again find myself, against my will, at a Catholic mass

He thinks he’s being sneaky #squirrel #SquirrelsOfMastodon

There’s only one way to deal with a trillionaire appropriately, and it’s [redacted]

Salad dog hopes you're all keeping cool and hydrated! #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon #humor #humour

ZOO DAY! Imma feed some giraffes!

YESSSSSSS 😁 I booked my first laser/electrolysis appointment!

Do you also agonize about if you’ve been too weird around people you think are cool but you don’t see often, even though they’re super friendly, since you always see them when they’re doing their job, so maybe they’re just being polite and tolerating you, despite no indications that that’s the […]

Who wears a full three-piece suit to fly? Do less

I love a coffee shop with a zine library 😊 #tarot #boundaries #zine #zines

Okay, 3 more hours as “competent professional” and then I can melt into a puddle again

Sobbing in the morning because you’re so dreading going to work is a sign you’re in a *healthy* work environment, right?

When your friend starts talking about this new podcast he’s listening to, and come to find out one of the hosts is a gun nut Republican congressional candidate. FUCK. Cmon dude, I don’t need this right now.

I'm not sure if we've ever been at a point in history before where competence was an active hindrance to your professional success in the way it is now

If humans had 12 fingers instead of 10, I would so get “BAKED BEANS” tattooed on my knuckles

Guy on the street yelling about “a bunch of punk-ass queers” like that isn’t a rad as hell way to describe me and my friends

They really gotta rename the Hall of Gems and Minerals to the Hall of Forbidden Candy

Babe, wake up. New man-made horrors beyond comprehension dropped.

God grant me the confidence of an economist who knows a lot of math but has literally never been right about anything in the real world

I gotta break the habit of answering with my deadname when a stranger asks me my name. At least, in places that are safe. As soon as someone says “what’s your name?” my brain freezes up while it’s trying to figure out if it’s “safe” enough for me to be honest. But I present femme enough, with […]

My brother-in-law got to ring the no-more-cancer bell this morning!!!

The conclusion of this article left me feeling quite annoyed. It suggests ways that men can keep caring about the environment while staying "masculine". A lot of it is about managing feelings by emphasizing the ways that they can stay dominant while having vaguely more sustainable behaviours […]

A memory just jumped back to me. A few years ago when adding pronouns to your email signature was really becoming a thing, I wanted to be a good cis ally and add mine, but when I went to do it, I felt uncomfortable putting “he/him” down. Just didn’t feel right to me for some reason. And then I… […]

Ahh… the joy of checking my calendar and seeing that I don’t have any meetings for the day

The garden is in!!! Rattlesnake pole beans, white cherry tomatoes, peppers (jalapeño, Bulgarian Carrot, and Golden Treasure), cucumbers, summer and butternut squash 🪏🪴👩‍🌾 And marigolds all around the edges to repel pests (and because they’re pretty 🥰) #garden #gardening

A skill I wish I was better at is noticing those little opening moments in social interactions, like the light pause when you can ask your barista about their nail polish and turn a routine transaction into a conversation and a human moment I just need to practice noticing and initiating them!

I got an awesome new avatar photo, brought to you by @Artsbyevelyn! She did an amazing job, I love it 😊

My neighbors just put up this sign in their yard that says “pardon our weeds, we’re feeding the bees” and I love it so much. No Mow May solidarity! 🐝✊

people who bang on about how the LLM is "doing cognition" kinda weird us out because all the LLM does is construct probable sentences. our thought process is not "generate random crap that sounds good" and if you think that's cognition then we question _your_ thought process

Work potlucks are meant to be fun and all, I suppose, but if someone says they’re not going to have any food, don’t pressure them to have some. They have their own reasons, and it’s not nice to put people on the spot like that

I have decided that any time a person uses a phrase with something "maxxing" in it, I will demand they give me $1.

Oh this is stupid. I get it, it’s Michigan, whatever. But is now really the moment to plant your flag on keeping people from getting cheap EVs? You know, the price of gas being what is. Oh yeah, and climate change. That’s kind of important too, I guess […]

You know what's way better than SpaceX? Baby goats.

Taking suggestions for a mantra or daily affirmation or something like that “I’m smart and I’m hot, and there’s nothing that can stop me” is currently winning

These ancient fucks are holding back smart young people from saving the planet just because their politics don’t allow actual creative thinking. “This how things are, and I’m in charge now, and I’m not going to rock the boat in my last few years” Then fucking retire. Go fishing, take up […]

“Electricity is soooo expensive, and ‘natural’ gas is soooo cheap” Boo fuckin hoo, do you want your grandchildren to have a survivable planet or not?

We love anti-renewables talking points first thing in the morning 🙃 I cannot wait for this fucking guy to leave

There’s a woman at work using the treadmill desk. In four inch heel boots. Just clomp clomp clomp I think I love her

[mh (-)] Well my brother got here and I didn’t come out to him and I asked my friends to all lie and cover for me because I’m a massive piece of shit coward and I really fucking hate myself for it

I am sure I’ll have more thoughts about how I feel about #knowledgefight as time goes on, but right now? Just fucking ouch. I love the show, those guys, the whole community. And I’m really going to miss them

One of the upsides of being a goat is that you can actually climb inside your breakfast

I used to think that if I went to grad school and got more educated about climate policy and got some experience, then people would take me more seriously when I say we need to decarbonize. Instead, I just get even more frustrated when they still ignore me. Yay 🙃

#FolkloreSunday: „Maypole dancing was outlawed in Puritan England in 1644. It is probable that it was not so much the dances themselves that caused concern but the usual aftermath, the “greenwood weddings” of young people who spent #Beltane night together […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

Fucking social anxiety. Why can’t I just have a normal text conversation and not over analyze every sentence? They’re friendly! I’m friendly! The stakes are extremely low! Everything is fine! There is no need for this level of overthinking

My wife surprised me today with this awesome pin! #queer

Baby goat zoomies

Y’all, look how CUTE this baby goat is! I love springtime on the farm 🥰 #goat #goats #goatsofmastodon
