Suz is SleepingCo-worker, walking into my office holding succulent: You know about plants right?
Me: Some?
Co-worker: Can I separate this plant up or do I need to repot?
Me: No idea. Google it.
Co-worker: Okay, it's a succubus, right?
Me: Succulent. It's a succulent.
Co-worker:What's the difference?
Me: a succubus drains your soul through sex. A succulent is a plant.
Co-worker: Wow, okay. I guess a succubus would be a really odd gift to give a co-worker.

Eugen RochkoI'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.
Jens Scholz (closed acc)Wtf? I think i will look for another instance. mastodon.clouds Admins don't seem to be fit enough to proper... well... administrating after what i read about them suspending the account of @wilw seemingly just to avoid the work to actually check complaints. That's just plainly lazy and this lazyness lets the bullies win. I don't want to be on an instance with that kind of policy. https://mastodon.cloud/@wilw/100635779449174251
Wil Wheaton isn't here. (@[email protected])
I have been notified by an Admin here that they are getting 60 reports a day about my account. As far as I can tell, I'm not breaking any rules, and I've done my best to be a good person here. But this admin is going to suspend my account. It's the Admin's instance, so I fully support their choice to eliminate a source of frustration, but something to consider: a person who is doing nothing wrong can be run off one instance by a mob from another instance. That seems ... not cool. 1/x
@tanuki2000 Normal? No. Awesome? YAAAS
HillFRIENDS: Be kind to yourself today.
Imagine if someone you love came to you with a struggle. Would you tell your loved one to get over it, that they are being an idiot, that they need to be stronger?
No. So don't tell yourself that.
Whatever you would tell someone you love in the same situation, tell yourself.
OK? OK. ❤️
Jake RodkinMade this last night with the help of House House, and Cabel from Panic, and am really happy with how it turned out, given the tiny turnaround I foolishly gave myself.

Are we proud of ourselves yet?
