Hey, what's up? I'm effectively abandoning the bird app. Here's where I might be:

I got a shortwave radio receiver and learned that shortwave broadcasts I can pick up in Ohio are all podcasts by people who have never heard of a podcast and think they're the messiah and now I want a four hour @CarriePoppyYES breakdown of them.

Dreamt I was wrestling @bryandanielson and I placed a jello mold in the center of the ring to set up my signature move. He dumps water on it from the same bottle I used in my ring entrance to counter and I'm so shocked I just get pinned and take the three count.

Hi, I only logged on to share a link, tag @JackOfQuills, and make a cryptic reference to fish glue. youtu.be/06wObrv15fc?si=Yhcp…

I'm sitting on like 5 BlueSky invites if anyone wants one and can bug me on a platform that isn't this one? Discord works...

I have absolutely zero reach on any social media platform, but I'd like to issue the Literally One Single Person From the Cult Survivor Media Sphere Make a Meaningful Stand for Trans Rights Challenge and hope it just magically takes off?

So I'm looking for trans affirming cult recovery podcasts or YouTube channels. If anyone has any can you dump them in the replies? RTs appreciated.

I just got an idea for a fun guitar challenge that I'm not nearly talented enough to pull off: write a chord progression rooted on an Em11 chord and play in E standard tuning like it's an open tuning.

@JackOfQuills @kumarei @corpsewhisperer @transfaeries Since the Muskrat is throwing around the idea of getting rid of blocking on this hellsite and I may actually stick to not using it anymore, here's a Discord server invite? It's 95% Minecraft, but 🤷♀️ discord.gg/eZZRWj4N

I'm also on Mastodon but it's hard to use and everyone who advocates for it sounds like they've got Web 3 brainworms. mastodon.online/@fresnel

Oh cool, the decision that will finally get me to stop using this site.
As an autistic trans woman who is harassed often and finds it hard to look away, blocking is the only feature that made this site even minimally viable and safe for me to exist on. Should have happened a while ago, but once this happens, I'll prob mainly be on bluesky.

It had always been a goal of mine to get @IAmJericho to sign my scarf, but times have changed and I might need to switch to getting a scarf signed by @The_MJF.
