here it goes:

what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.

so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?

people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.

the fediverse is a new era of #Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the #anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

@blogdiva I'm 39 and trying not to have an emotional breakdown about the idea of hitting 40 in less than a year

@xgranade @zkat @blogdiva I was having a bit of a time realizing that 41 is rapidly approaching. We just had a birthday!

There is science behind a number of body changes around 40, definitely happened to me as well.

@zkat @blogdiva Somewhere btw 40 and 50 is when most people start freaking out because kids are graduating high school, starting college, and OMG, maybe the first grandchild? If you've remained childless, then 60 is the hard number, because that's when your body starts breaking down.

P.S. I was probably breaking down before 60 but I spent my 60th birthday in the emergency room with something minor I'd never experienced before. Sigh.

That said, I'm inline skating 1000s of miles per year at 60+.

@zkat @blogdiva The best part of hitting 40 was noticing that it didn't actually change anything other than the box i have to check in forms.
10 years later and the situation is still the same.

The only stressor is every time something starts aching in my body I go "is this it? Is this the Old Age?" but it generally it's just eating too spicy. or too much fiber.
