At my local library, a little girl dropped her library books into the ‘return’ slot, waved and shouted “GOODBYE BOOKS, HAVE A GOOD DAY AT SCHOOL!” and my heart grew three sizes 🥺
Make shutterstock everything better!
Just realized at least 50% of why I haven't really taken to Mastodon yet was because I hadn't discovered that there was a light theme. I am feeling much happier already!

I built my character out of 🤠+🕺, which sort of ended up looking like Indiana Jones? I then collected multiple 🖇️ during gameplay, which hooked to my belt and floated behind me like a glorious tail as I walked.

I decided to email @xkcd my review of the game, which was something like, "This game is marvelous! But it feels like you got bored with it rather quickly and poured all of your creativity into the emoji combos." To which he replied, "lol you are exactly correct!"

The way the game handled combining emojis to form compound entities was amazing. Not unlike https://tikolu.net/emojimix, except my dream game included the entire emoji set and you could combine any number of emojis, not just two.

What kept me playing was a desire to test the limits of the complexity (3,644^N 😱) by combining ever more and weirder emojis, but I never did discover a combo that the game didn't handle with ease and artfulness.

Combine two emojis into one. Thousands of combinations are available.

I had a dream yesterday morning that I was playing a video game made by @xkcd

It was a single-player, Zelda-like adventure game where you walked around collecting items, but everything in the game was comprised of emojis.

Hypocritical given the US is letting COVID rip, and has likely been responsible for many variants. Unless you are requiring negative tests for all passengers no matter where they fly from, not sure that this does anything except encourage more xenophobia against Asian people.

If you're curious what living with a composer is like, I've walked by
@Bointillism's studio door three times today and each time he was playing a different instrument.

hey all, at thoughtbot we're looking for a good blocklist for our instance, some things we're looking for:

* reasons largely outlined
* consistent with values that do not tolerate bigotry, harassment, etc
* something that is open source (ideally stored in a repo)
* ideally stays updated
* in a format that can be easily imported via Mastodon's import/export tool

Can anyone recommend resources here? thanks so much! #FediTips #MastoTips cc/ @nova (tagging you cause we've closely followed hachyderm and respect yall's principles and open process)
