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.

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.

Yeah I was pretty close to finishing a PhD but my life kinda fell apart. No regrets on leaving, other than waiting so long.

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.
