Re: shitposts, it definitely strongly depends on who you follow. My home feed on mastodon is inundated with shitposts (and I like each one)

Thanks for the heads up, subscribed :) Might post a photo later.

Olivia Chow just won the Toronto by-election, so my week is off to a good start :)

Also, Pride was over the weekend, and I got a new bike.

I like new and new comments.

Tonight was trans march. Tomorrow is dyke march. Then, time to sleep :)

Yeah! It definitely comes with a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. I like it, too.

Dutch bike lanes look amazing. Wish we had them here.

Living in Toronto, the infrastructure is better than what I grew up with, but I still need to carefully plan my routes. The amount of pushback to any improvement to the system is maddening (and 2nd or 3rd highest polling mayorial candidate was quoted in the video, what a nightmarish person he is 🫠)

It’s complicated. I am not religious, and have considered myself to be an atheist for most of my life so far. I also have strong negative feelings towards most mainstream religions, because of their long-standing hate towards people like me and my loved ones. I also grew up in a Presbyterian church and honestly, fuck everything about calvinist-derived theology.

But, it is hard to shake some amount of magical thinking. And honestly, if it brings joy, and isn’t harming people around you, why not? So lately I’ve been leaning into it a bit, in a vaguely neopagan direction. I definitely don’t take any of it literally, but if a sprinkle of it helps keep me from descending into despondency, I will shrug and go with it. It isn’t rational, but I am a human, not a robot.

I have also considered finding a local unitarian universalist church or something along those lines. Somewhere that is chill with me as I am. The last few years have been isolating and I think I need more community in my life to thrive.

Howdy! I’m a mid-30s game developer. In a past life (my 20s) I was an astronomer, but academia sucks so I gtfo’d. I like to ride bikes, but I fell out of the habit over the pandemic; just getting back into it now. I enjoy boomer shooters, and indie games. Gay and trans and loving it.

I’m liking it. Seems chill. Some growing pains and there’s not quite as much here as I was following on the other site, but, maybe that’s a good thing and humans aren’t actually meant to have a constant information firehose?
