A ludicrous tootist
boosted when I toot this
So true to this
When I toot it
Perpetrators can't mute it
Mastodons are empirical, lyrical, it's critical
Toot the hard way
And the detractors will need medical attention
We're like toot surgeons with a scalpel in our left hands to make you understand
Mastodon words of wisdom in our enneagrams

Some day, I'm going to apply for a job and, in page 300 of searching for my name, the recruiter will run across where I publish what music I listen to. I'll get a rejection email with no reason and no one at the company will ever talk to me again.

can't wait for Twitter to make themselves Mastodon-compatible so we can block their instance
