Let us love
All we can,
While we can.
We are here
For only one
Beautiful

Time.
The quiet normalization of COVID-19 in our society has come at the great expense of school-age children and adolescents.
I've applied to a new job on average once per 1.6 days since the end of January (4.2 applications per week)
It's good to get so many rolls at the dice so to speak
And it's orders of magnitude better than the academic job market
But it's also exhausting
@researchfairy
That sucks! Sounds like getting a job has become a full time career. Hope better days are ahead!
my favorite mythical creature is a reasonable boss

@phairupegiont thanks for the feedback! is it just slow, and even on low quality mode? I tried on 3 computers but I guess they are all not so bad. Edit: I put a warning in the post!
@bleuje ah, in low quality it's actually ok
@jenniferplusplus none of these tell beats time

I was not really interested in watching The Odyssey, but now that I know Elon Musk hated it, I really want to watch it.
Thank you for the anti-recommendation Elon, sounds like a great movie!
@Em0nM4stodon
Same.
Please enjoy some happy ducks eating sweet peas before you continue your doom scrolling! 🫛🦆
@benpate @laurenshof I would like to see word filtering extended to sentiment analysis, being applied to both server- and client-side moderation. A lot of the arguments I observe are posters getting triggered by commenters and commenters getting triggered by posters. People and groups should instead be able to tailor moderation to their invividual needs. Let people post and discuss on their terms without unwanted interactions ruining the experience.
Sure, I could see that. Can we dig into this a bit? What would we *do* with results of the sentiment analysis?
* Hide messages/responses that seem like they'd upsetting? * Apply some reply controls to hide those replies until I've okayed them?
* Reply with a DM containing a 1TB zip bomb?
This would NEED to be tailored to each person's tolerance... Sometimes you have to highlight a "reply guy" for the rest of your community - even if it's upsetting to do.
@phillycodehound we're here! 6 hour drive this morning.
@themann00 yikes 😱
I have obtained swatches

You should know that I’m absolutely a dork when referencing them in person because I always say “Tada!!!” because of their scientific name (Tadarida brasiliensis).
I regret nothing. 🤪🦇🤓
@Kade1 I'm terrified of fires; I have COPD.
@phillycodehound@indieweb.social you going to be joining us?
@ozoned nah too far this year. I’ll be at Fediforum and hopefully Podcast Movement
I don't know why these two particular episodes (out of so many) stick out in my memory, but: the Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan & Claudine Gay "plagiarism" "scandal."
*No* Trump scandal has received the quantity or intensity of mainstream press fury that those two attracted.
