This is your friendly reminder to check in on all those Mastodon/Fedi bookmarks you've been collecting and meaning to follow up on, but have completely forgot about.

(The reminder is for me)

@stormriven I'm doing the Say Something In Welsh online course, and getting on with it a lot better that I have with things like Duolingo in the past. It's very reasonably priced (ยฃ10 a month, I think) and has online meetup groups for practising speaking

I was thinking about how some therapies involve like writing out good things that have happened to you or things you're grateful for and then realized that social media has trained everyone to spend hours each day writing out statements about things they hate or which irritate them

@EponymousBosh I did this. I've had basically the same nickname since I was 4, so I kept it and made it legal

identifying WAY too closely with this piece of string ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜ข

A sculpture made from a piece of string and pieces of bent thin plastic. Using only the tension from the opposing pieces of plastic, the string is made to stand upright.

The caption reads: the string wants to collapse but constant stress won't allow it

I'm sorry I didn't talk to you for the last 6 months. In my defense, I thought about saying hello to you about 7000 times but then realized I didn't have anything useful or interesting to say, so I didn't say anything at all.

@Monsterklatsch @vagina_museum They said in the message you're replying to. "Cunny" is a portmanteau, it's a jokey combination of two other words: "cunt" and "coney", which is a word for rabbit or rabbit fur. It's not a word for something real that got borrowed as slang the way pussy did, as far as I know

โ€œ...We have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.

โ€œBut to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe a happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.โ€

You know how cats give you that look of 'oh no, please feed me, I've not eaten in daaaays...'?

Owning a pet #snake means finding the psychological fortitude to deal with a pet who does that to you, but you know they're right

@linkeddev this was one of my first follows on the fediverse. It does genuinely good advice sometimes!
