My existence on social media is basically this:

- good chuckles/feelings about content that I want to see

- seeing content I don't want to see and finding a way to mute or avoid it

- having extreme issues with how virtually every platform is run in some way

- typing out posts and deleting them before posting because I'm either concerned about work info (I work for a publically traded company)

- typing out posts and deleting them before posting because I don't feel confident enough to talk about stuff (that I probably should be more confident about, really)

- finding a way to stop engaging with it at all, but getting dragged back in because there's *just enough* good stuff for me to go back.

Overall, pretty sure social media, as we created it, was a massive mistake. I think my urge to avoid it is correct. I also think the things I want and like from it are also correct.

Things are complicated, you see.

(Duh.)

hello, fediverse. been too long.

my relationship with social media and the internet has changed/is changing, and I think I'm putting this place in my daily habits again.

but for right now I'm playing the **hell** out of the FFT remaster because it's my favorite game and this remaster is so so good

Going to use this again maybe? Updated stuff. We'll see.

Only using this and Bluesky at the moment.

Not sure what's the cooler thing this Monday morning, kickoff of a new (badly needed) project, or the palace intrigue of my boss' boss leaving.

Actually, it's coffee. Coffee is the coolest thing.

Excuse me while I vibrate out of my skin.

Blew a bunch of money at a local brewery/market. Got some extremely good sourdough bread, coffee, hopped tea, craft root beer, and some t-shirts and coffee mugs. All local.

Feel super great about it. Highly recommend.

the test happened and now I'm a nerd

I was a nerd before, but am still one, now
