I’ve been drinking *Mussel* Milk this whole time? No wonder I’m still so weak and clammy.

For years, I’ve observed numerous times that I feel so much better if I go to bed early. Unfortunately, the sample size of these studies are just too small to say anything conclusive about this.
It’s not “road rage” anymore dad, it’s MadMaxxing.
Makin’ pancakes for dinner—so yeah—I’m a Full Stack Developer.
I genuinely got a little sad going through follows realizing that there were lots of #Forkiverse folks from the first few weeks that have already deleted their accounts. Plenty of really cool people and I would love to know what’s going on with them.
But then I realized that maybe they just blocked me…
Which is great because I could tell they were FAKE FROM THE BEGINNING. LOL, LET’S KEEP IT ROLLING PEOPLE!!!
Wife: I thought you said you were going to do laundry today?
Me: oh shoot. yes, I’ll get it tomorrow… I’m really sorry… something came up…
Heads up - there’s this scam going around where inactive #Forkiverse accounts suddenly pop in the local feed and ask “is this thing still going?“ “Yikes, is anyone still here?” or “I totally forgot about this, wow it seems dead.“
We’re working on the issue. In the meantime, it’s important to not draw suspicion: engage with these accounts by replying, liking, and boosting.
We’ll get through this.
We could all use a helping hand sometimes.
Bwahaha! Some of you with day jobs are at *work* already?? PST is the *only* way to be!! I won’t be at work for another… oh shit, I gotta go to bed.
Feelin’ cute in these skinny jeans. Might delete later.
Look, sometimes my contribution is to silently favorite every reply in the thread—wide eyed—smiling an uncanny smile.
i. like. it. all.
We simply cannot put you back together—I am so sorry—is there a place you would like us to respectfully “Dumpty” your remains?
I love hearing about what you all are passionate about, but as a non-tech person on Mastodon, most of my scrolling is like...
Lovely conversation with a dental hygienist today. She’s a year from retirement, visual artist, two adult kids, and going to write a memoir. A Romanian who lived in Germany four years. She ultimately regrets coming to the United States. “No one is happy here, how could you be?” she says.
And when I say that I design and build escape rooms, I first have to explain what they are. She thinks about it and says “what a waste of resources." 🤣
She is correct, and I genuinely think she’s amazing.
A child fell down the stairs today in a scandal my wife is calling “babygate.”
- Oh, it’s Friday! Could I do a weekend check?
- Sure, give me 2d12.
** rolls **
- OH HELL YEAH! 17!!! IT’S GOTTA BE THE WEEKEND!!
- Did you include your Time Zone Modifier?
- Oh, right, let’s see… I’m PST which is a… negative eight to Time Zone…
- So a nine? I’m sorry, 9:00am is not the weekend.
- FUCK!!

Hey #PDX folks! A local Escape Room company, In Search of an Exit, has a wild Game Show experience that you should check out. The designers are good people, but they’re having a hard time selling tickets because it’s a weird experience that’s difficult to explain—check out their website and book it if you’re in the area!!!
Personally, I produce like, shitpost jazz. If you really want to laugh, you have to listen to the things I’m *not* tooting.

Both @jaye@theforkiverse.com and @scichelli@theforkiverse.com are great follows— fun thread if you have the time!
This is interesting! A game developer develops mobile app to teach the broad strokes of diabetic treatment. I learned about this from “Enable: the Disability Podcast“ which I will link in the thread. I have some thoughts about this interview, which I‘ll also put in the thread—but all and all–a great idea professionally executed! Check it out if you’re into mobile games!
A series of very quick decisions and April Fools frenzy has led me here. I’m sorry @Ashlouie@theforkiverse.com ... My dad used to say that mistakes come in three—today the mistakes come in Fi.
Take a breath! Don’t force yourself to do graphic design when you’re upset.
TO BE FAIR: The Vatican could have warned me that the foot wash feels amazing. So yeah, sorry for the little moans and for “making it weird.”
You wanna throw some stones with me?? (I can *literally* see through your glass house, bro. I know you’re not doin’ anything 😜)

Did you know you don’t actually have to wash your jeans? You don’t have to wash anything really. You’re a Lil’ Stinker Boi. We all talked about it and we agree. Go on, stink up the town you Lil’ Stinker Boi—it’s what you love to do.
Yeah, I do “drop-shipping.” I keep shipping Gaston and The Beast and everyone tells me to drop it.

I FEEL SEEN!
Got to go see the delightfully bizarre musical “Lizard Boy” this past week with my wife put on by Portland Center Stage. (We actually watched this show 10-ish years ago on a whim in Seattle on one of our few vacations together.) it’s 3 actors *pouring their hearts* into some poppy jams while desperately trying to keep the ludicrously superhero-Queer-infused plot chugging along. The show has strengths, weaknesses, but definitely worth your time if you’re in the area

#Forkiverse question for you (that anyone can answer!):
I have quite a few Forker people that I’m following that have gone inactive. Not all mutuals, however I *would* like to follow them if they *were* active. BUT! it would also be nice to reduce my follows.
What would you do?
I’m sorry that you‘re feeling some shit, Postie. (Do you mind if I call you Postie?)

@mayintoronto THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Their videos feature them figuring out songs in a FULL god-damn studio—which would be sooooooo expensive. They, for sure, just *own* a studio. That’s wild.

@ktneely@infosec.exchange bwahahahaha!! 🤣🤣 Yes! There’s some of us still around from that first-month frenzy. I find it very funny that it might carry *any* kind of clout though. TBH, most of the people still on the instance are more Search Engine listeners (me included), even though we all have our critiques.
It took me *4 months* to find the PDX and Portland hashtags (don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner—*of course* Portlanders are on Fedi 🤣)
Still no Portland, OR graveyards named “R.I.P. City?” Do I have to do *everything* myself??
Okay. fine. This is pretty cute. ChillHop radio is pretending that they lost the rights to their iconic Raccoon, so they made a quick knockoff for the stream. #AprilFools

Not a fancy boy, so I don’t book shows often. Clearly, Democratic leaders are going to have to do a *lot more* if they want to take control of the Orchestra. Balcony is looking worse, but there aren't as many seats up for grabs.

@ktneely@infosec.exchange Get a bottle of the horseradish infused vodka! It’s so good! (But be sure to shake it before each pour, me and my wife made that mistake 😬)
