Quietly observing

how many people

framed their disagreement with my ASKING if I would have to CW most of my life & activism & daily life

as defense of CW
or defense of #Mastodon culture
or didn’t even read or listen to anything I said

hence proving my point.

Which I made behind a CW out of respect for the community here
by the way.

You cannot truthfully claim you’re not attacking/harassing people just because you dress it up as defense of others.

It's always nice visiting a forest during the fall, weaving through the trees, crunching the sunset-colored leaves. Pine needles metamorphose into ectoplasmic worms. The moss man collects bones. Will-o'-the-wisps pass through your skull, implanting memories that aren't yours.
Hi everyone. I’m Jess, a materials scientist working on next-generation optical and electronic devices. I spend all my free time trying to make science more inclusive. For the last four years I’ve spent every evening writing the Wikipedia biographies of scientists from historically excluded groups. I’m nearly at 1800!! #WomenInSTEM

Just finished a book (Pagan Political Theology by Kadmus—5/5 would recommend). So the question now is do I start a new book in the same vein, or something completely different?
Dunguaire Castle. Something I painted in 2013. It's on the edge of Galway Bay, the southeastern corner of it - by Kinvara. #art

You know what’s great about #mastodon?

I’m greeted w a timeline of friendly folks excited to share cool things: ‘Here’s #music I composed!’ ‘Check out my #art!’ ‘I took this photo of the stars bc #space is magical!’

Even on topics I’m unfamiliar with, the enthusiasm makes me curious to learn more.

I love that this network isn’t set up to encourage snark & reward cruelty. It’s not a race for 🔁 & ❤️ bc they’re not as obvious as on #twitter

It has a real community feel. 2022 needs more of that.

Silver lining to being woken up at 4am to the 6 year old vomiting in our bed: we all got to sleep in.
#Samhain #tarot draws for my wife and I were reassuring as we look to move forward with our lives in the next year. I drew the first three without much thought to a specific question, but to represent “us”. The eight of wands and two kings. A single card for myself was the Wheel of Fortune. In the context of job applications and trying to finish up school, I’m cautiously optimistic.
