My New Year's Resolution always used to be the same, but then I updated to a new one, which is also the same every year.

It used to be 1024x768; now it's 1080p

📢 1.90 is rolling out now (3/11) Every post now has the ability to “detach” quote posts. Quote posts are great but sometimes they’re used to dunk on people. This tool gives you a quick way to remove your post from the quote, reducing the unwanted attention that a quote might bring.

I bought a new tablet a while ago & neglected to install my mastodon apps on it, only bird-site. Have I missed anything? 🤔

A gentle reminder that there's a water hole in #Namibia with a 24/7 #webcam and it is awesome.

At home, we call it #GazelleTV

yeah sorry I know not all of us are birdplace refugees, but this is just so sadly accurate.

This is hilariously stupid. I mean, just painfully stupid. And, yes, it's real.
i've learned more about how to manage life from comedy than from most self-help guides

If I can give one piece of life advice:

Whenever someone geeks about something in front of you, or admits an 'embarrassing' interest, just say:

"That sounds AMAZING. I don't know anything about that. Tell me about it."

Then just listen.

Not once in my life have I regretted it.

I forget who I was snarking about at the time. Probably the interests of one of my siblings.

She (gently) reminded me of how people sneered at me for being interested in SciFi and history etc. Asked how that made me feel, and if I'd want others to feel the same. Smart woman.

Her point was you don't have to like a thing, but should always try to learn a bit and see WHY others do. Because people being interested in things is always fun.
