  • I use Lemmy and Bluesky since I’m banned on Reddit and it’s no longer worth bothering with ban evasion. I’m also testing Mastodon through Pachli because Bluesky has kinda started going on my nerves with all the luke warm “Dems need to save the US” takes. I wisth there was a federated platform for short form vertical videos like tiktok. It’s probably not feasible as a non profit project but something inside of me is still chasing the high of early pandemic social media.










  • If you’ve never kept birds maybe get a couple of pigeons first. They’re more affectionate, less work, less delicate when it comes to diet, shelter and toxins, less destructive and generally more easy going than most parrots. They don’t speak but there’s no guarantee your parrot would do so either.

    Whatever you do don’t rush the decision. Parrots can reach a very high age and they require a lot of emotional work in addition to their physical needs, much more than a cat honestly. They’re an awesome choice for the right person but they’re less common than cats and dogs for a reason.


  • I’m 29 and I think babies are kinda fascinating because they’re so primal but interacting with kids roughly between 2 and 14 feels very exhausting to me. After that they start acting like they know everything (while usually knowing very little) but they tend to develop a particular sense of humor that I can work with. But yeah it’s mostly a chore for me and I see no reason to incorporate more of that into my life. I don’t feel a biological urge to reproduce.









  • You have to understand that life isn’t about looking for “the best” oppurtunities but to work with what’s in front of you. You are as a human being equipped with the tools you need to shape and transform your environment. That’s not to say that change isn’t necessary sometimes but often better is the enemy of good. Life is less strenuous when you go with the flow.

    The other thing is you need to fight desparation. Hope is like a plant that you need to tend to continuously. But you need hope and trust in your own abilities in order to function in times like these.
