One of my goals before the end of 2022 is to have more people text the squid facts hotline than the number of seats in Lincoln Financial Field (67,594 seats). Right now we're at 62,735. Idk if I can do it but I'm going to try really hard. Gotta get more squid on the street 🫑

Did you play games for Thanksgiving? We did:
* A 13-person game of Eat Poop You Cat (aka Telephone Pictionary), a long time Thanksgiving tradition in my house
* pie break
* Exquisite Corpse (mostly the kids)
* Just One (2 boxes)
* The last word in Just One was "revolution," so then we had a Hamilton dance party/singalong to cap off the night.

Grateful.

It's an online radio station where you can listen to a random forest from around the world: https://www.tree.fm/
tree.fm – Tune Into Forests From Around The World πŸŒ³πŸ”ˆ

People around the world recorded the sounds of their forests, so you can escape into nature, while in lockdown or unable to travel. Use this site to chill, meditate or do some digital shinrin-yoku.

For 364 days of the year I am 100% oblivious to baseboards and door jambs. The day before my mother comes to visit, I become obsessed with how filthy they are in my house.

This story with Tracy Chou, an engineer who specifically works on creating tools to stifle organised harassment online, getting posts removed from mastodon.social because of "reverse sexism/racism," is maddeningly infuriating.

We know that Mastodon's flagship instances have been having issues with moderation for a while, but this seems to point that the trend has gone from "ineffective absent moderators" to "moderators protecting the feelings of white men," which I think will backfire. It also validates every criticism the fediverse receives for being a bastion of tepid, neoliberal, unexamined racism-as-reflex whiteness.

To echo Tracy Chou's bannable offense: I also heavily recommend reading more books by non men, by non white people, and by non cisheterosexual people. What a violent ideology! Tabarnouche. 

Ok given that no one else is experiencing this, I'm going to assume it's not some setting I missed...and given that I just got a newsletter for Runner's World, I'm starting to thing someone's just messing with me.
Since creating my Mastodon account I have had a severe increase in spam email. Is this a coincidence or is there a privacy setting I need to tweak somewhere?
