After about 5 years I have a tragedy to announce:

I need to turn my ringer back on for work.

Excited wigglepig is excited. #dogs #DogsOfMastodon

Little mental cleanse last Saturday. Wishing you all this feeling ❤

This? Don't do this.

It also had a live fuse box turned junction box just buried in a wall next to a manky old breaker panel.... How this place hasn't burned down yet is a mystery to me.

All fixed, finally, but hell.

I have encountered a first in old houses... Specifically my house. I coin the term "no demo house".

It has 3 layers of walls from different eras, 2 layers of siding, 2 subfloors and 2 finish floors. Just... piled on top of one another.

There are generations of contractors/hacks whose necks I want to wring right now

And I'm not doing shit else. #generalStrike

This #MayDay, I'm signing my offer letter to join a worker owned construction company.

Boomie deciding laying on a dog shaped patch of snow is better than chasing a ball. #dogs #DogsOfMastodon

in a way that only the bad actors and the victim can see.

4. "this problem is too hard" no, it's necessary work if mastodon will ever have a healthy community

5. "no one wants to do this work" well shit, that says this place is unhealthy in a nutshell

I got all of these multiple times from gleaning *one* thread.

#HallOfShame takes on #mastodon

A user (probably Black or POC and a woman) says: "Mastodon has a problem with racism and lacks effective moderation tools"

Dumb takes:

1. "why don't you fix it" blaming the user for a platform problem is wrong

2. "why don't you switch servers" this is again putting work on the user and doesn't even fix the problem

3. "I don't see it" this is part of the large platform problem. It is a built in flaw that bad actors can silently brigade people 🧵

Maybe I'll switch from void screaming to abyss staring for a bit.

#Vote today! (If you haven't already). Also, King County has really cool ballot notifications if you're into that kind of thing:

#seattle #seapol #wapol

Keep moving our clocks back by one hour and we have a general strike in like 2 weeks.

So can we just keep this "get an extra hour of sleep" thing going forever?

#seattle please vote for Katie Wilson

#GeneralStrike now

I'm just a toot standing in front of a skeet, asking to be boosted
