I apply powdered dinosaur fossils onto dead trees for a living.

820 pounds of leaves blown from my lawn and hauled to the landfill—amazingly only cost me $17.07 to dump, an amount I probably would’ve spent in heavy duty bags if I’d left it for city pickup—much easier just throwing it all into a trailer!

So I’m at last prepared to just stop looking at all. I don’t want to delete my account coz I’d really prefer my profile name not fall to someone else’s abuse. I already changed the account to protected. REALLY wish I could find a trustworthy means, even for a fee, to erase all the past content and maybe even a mass instance of the block/unblock procedure to force unfollows.

Today, only 5 accounts still post content that populates the notis. Three are just mirrors of content I already see here.

A fourth is a long time friend whose posts these days are largely outside my interests, and the other I always believed was a good, well-meaning person until all the slop lately reflecting their heavy anti-trans stance.

When it was still the bird site, I followed roughly 450 accounts. I had isolated just shy of 100 to place those posts as in-app notifications—accounts I was most interested in. Of those, only a dozen or two actively tweeted.

December 2023 I essentially gave up on X. A couple posts made after that were only telling people I was on Mastodon now.

Some who prefer to follow the day/month formatting for dates are trying to say that Pi day (3.14) is not today, but rather the 31st of April.

Nope. That’s only Schrödinger’s Pi day. It both exists and doesn’t exist.

So my energy levels haven’t yet allowed me to get the pile shoveled into bags. Hopefully Sunday. But yesterday I got out the blower once again because a LOT more leaves fell since Tuesday.

Everything below the red line is approximately the additional amount I blew into the original pile.

Re: the lost wedding band story from last week: I should have included a photo. It’s a gorgeous blue color with inlaid carbon fiber. You can see why I’d have been sad to not find it!

Those who keep complaining that wind turbines do not work when the winds are not blowing, just realized that oil does not work when the Hormuz Strait is not open.

Exactly what the hell do solicitors think it accomplishes to lie about having a permit to case through our neighborhood?

I don’t know what you think you have that qualifies as a permit, but there are only two entities thst would be authorized to do so: the City of Apopka and our HOA. I absolutely guarantee neither of those entities ever issue such permits.

No, what you have is a card from your employer instructing you to violate policy and solicit anyway.

Another FFS, #DisneyPlus - not everyone has to be a social feed. I literally never (and will never) use the app this way.

Why does everyone think they have to be a social feed?

The only reason I occasionally launch the app on my phone is learning about something I wanna see and just adding it to my watchlist which I later get to on my Apple TV at home.
