Day 17 of being unemployed due to layoffs and life is pretty good. I'm knocking down items on the honey-do list, spending time with friends, and taking deep breaths.
I know that I'm extremely fortunate to be able to take some time to figure out what to do next. I know not everyone has the opportunity to take some time for themselves and decompress and that infuriates me.
We should all have the space to do whatever we need to in order to heal and move on ☮️
Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™.
Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea.
Folks, all of us here ARE the algorithm. Personal curation is a feature, not a bug.
We make Mastodon awesome by following people and boosting what we find meaningful, significant or just cool. That's how it works.
Let's keep making friends. Let's keep sharing. Let's keep Mastodon alive. Together. 💖
Out running errands this morning and stumbled across a dog adoption event. Of course, I parked and played with the puppies.
Henry, though, stole my heart! He's the sweetest good boy that I've ever met. If he did better with other dogs in the house, I would have immediately signed up to take him home.
Let's get this adorable #dog a forever home. He's currently being fostered in #Pembroke, #Massachusetts...
A decent article about #LostCanadian citizenship and the new path. Includes a #trans family member seeking recognition.

"I've been doing genealogical research" sounds better than "I enjoy stalking dead people" but it's basically the same thing.
The thing I like about doomscrolling on Mastodon is that I get the news I feel I need to get - but in between there are photos of cats, moss, and beautiful old trees, discussion of repairing and reupholstering old chairs, lockpicking discussions, out of context comic book panels, various pieces of artwork, really horrible dad jokes, and sometimes just surreal stuff that makes me smile.
So, yeah, you all are keeping me sane. Keep it up.
The #BostonRedSox are my ride or die…
And more from the BBC… I love this!
A drone memorial of the Titanic in Belfast, Ireland. A very cool and weirdly touching memorial.
