Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.

Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol

(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

It's been 4 1/2 months now since I started treating my neurospiciness. I've been through a few medications for ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I'm now starting to feel like I'm feeling "normal". My mood is consistently good, my energy levels are much better throughout the day, I'm sleeping better at night (thanks Trazodone), and I'm actually able to focus when I need to. It's such an amazing feeling.

I explained how this was an old train depot and the trail used to be a trail line. Showed them the pictures of the old trail line and construction of the trail. There was an old wood burning heater on display and I explained to them what it was and what it was used for.

It was really cool seeing the interest these kids had in this small bit of history and I sincerely hope they don't lose that inquisitive nature.

I was on a bike ride on Saturday. We rode up to Woodward, IA. There is an old train depot turned museum. There were a couple of kids checking it out, no older than maybe 12. They were pointing out pictures and maps and other items and were asking me about them.
I've had a nasty pain in my mouth since Sunday. Ended up getting a root canal yesterday. It's amazing that drilling a hole in a tooth and cleaning it out immediately makes it feel better. It wasn't even one of the teeth that hurt. I would have had it done without anesthetic just to get rid of the pain. I've never had a kidney stone, but I can't imagine it being any worse pain than this.
I think my favorite thing about my local #bike shop is that it's next to an Ace Hardware that has a shop cat and the cat wanders back and forth between the two shops and is super chill.
I don't think we give this cinema moment enough credit for the impact it had on Gen X's worldview
Just a lazy Sunday with the cat while it's snowing outside.
