Made yummy homemade pizzas for dinner with my kids last night. Used garlic naan bread as a shortcut for the crust, and we each customized our own toppings. 🍕
Cleaned up the dining room a bit. Getting the house back into a condition where we can have company is going to be an extended project. The clutter is real.
Finalized OOO schedule for the holidays. Looking forward to some rest and relaxation. 😎
@rubicon @_L1vY_ Thanks for the update! Documenting the #twittermigration probably isn't an easy task. Thank you for doing it.
"Getting pretty nutty?" Oh, it's been nutty for quite some time now. 🙄😎
@_L1vY_ I just had to google Poe's Law. A little disappointed it has nothing to do with Edgar Allan, but at least I learned something! 🤣
Personally, I try to adhere to Wheaton's Law.
@mosier_histgeek Welcome! In my short time here on the tusk site, I've run into quite a few academic types. Use hashtags liberally and I'm sure you'll find some soon enough.
I wouldn't consider myself an academic, but always enjoy a good #history lesson. #histodon 😎
@darnell @BlackAzizAnansi All valid points. Hopefully with time, at least a couple become moot.
Maybe I'm influenced by my own distrust of Zuckerberg and very meh experience on #Instagram: 4 posts then lost interest and let my account lay dormant for a year b4 I was notified my password had been compromised. Reset it... compromised again. Reset it again... compromised again. I don't have time to stress about Instagram's security, so deleted my account after the 3rd hack.
@sflorg @BlackAzizAnansi It doesn't seem fair to dismiss someone's individual observation as "nonsense." Relative to this post, it also seems a bit ironic. Personal experience and anecdotal evidence may not be scientific, but that doesn't mean they're not important.
Just b/c no one said they weren't welcome doesn't mean they weren't made to feel unwelcome.
People are staying on the bird site for all kinds of reasons. It's not our place to question an individual choice.
@darnell @BlackAzizAnansi I'm confused by Twitter users in general fleeing for #instagram.
Assuming they're leaving because the bird site is toxic and owned/operated by a narcissist billionaire... they're moving to another toxic platform owned/operated by a narcissist billionaire?
What am I missing?
