Set up my own instance so I'll be redirecting to @andy - followers imported, etc. Thanks to @mastohost for hosting and swift setup.
I'll (probably) be opening the instance this weekend, with a focus on it being a safe space for people who experience ill #mentalhealth, are service users, professionals or simply just interested in learning about MH and reducing #stigma (I just want to get some support numbers and links in place first).
Let’s take this opportunity to reach out for help, support those around us (on the internet or in person), and speak up for ourselves.❣️ Stay silent no more. ❣️

At last, proper Google Home integration for Deezer. Happier now.
Typing on my Chromebook is difficult, yo! #typos
Well, I registered a .social that I'm surprised wasn't taken. Expect a new Mastodon instance in the next few days (probably closed registration for the time being, until I decide whether to stick with it and publicise it). Just need go give some though as to whether I go hosted for now or spin up an AWS instance; and whether it's something I want to commit to right now But heck, it's a good domain for my (extensive) collection either way,
We can but hope. I'm tired of utterly pointless use cases for blockchain (and I say that, having implemented one).
My #RPG project is really coming along well. The latest iteration of the rules just feels polished (though needs playtesting - one for the regular gaming group soon I think); and my chargen document is taking shape. But man, I'm really hitting the writer's block.
So tonight, more fleshing out of lifepath fluff and maybe writing up some examples. Because some writing is better than no writing.
I bought myself a billhook to attack the garden with (which is a lot of bramble and overgrowth at the moment). Great balance and I just sharpened the edge which came up really we. The plan is rip out all the weeds and scrub, put in three 3m x 1.5m raised beds for veggies and then probably chamomile turf the rest. And a swing for wife and myself.
Did I mention the billhook?
(I know this quote isn't from Sleeping In Light. But it's brilliant and mindful.)
Every time I return to Babylon 5 the writing never fails to impress. Don't get me started on the final episode of S5. Tears. Every time.
Fellow folks with anxiety/depression, have you ever found a job/career/employer with a manageable stress level? If so, what was it, and/or what did that job/employer do to make that a healthier environment?
Looking for recommendations, coping mechanisms, etc. Feel free to boost.
Quiet and self care needed tonight. Wife has had a difficult day and had to revisit past trauma as a part of her course. That shit gets absorbed by proxy, so I'm having to manage my own feelings of events a few years back (mainly anger, regret and to a lesser extent fear).
I gotta admit, watching the crowd self organize over on switter has been educational.
I hope we're listening and being passively attentive as a whole. There's a wealth of ux/usability feedback on the surface of all these toots.
This means it could just as easily apply to other interfaces :)
New phone and only just reinstalled Tusky. What's new?
I trained as a Mental Health First Aider which was challenging and dragged me to some tough places. Happy I did it though.
I've done a whole load of writing on my RPG set in Victorian industrial England.
I've started work on a web app designed to help with and reward short term goal setting for people with mental health issues.
So... Busy, busy, busy!
Signed up for a #MHFA course yesterday. End of March with luck. It's been on my TODO list for a while now.
One year #alcohol free (as of last night). On to the second. One of the best decisions I ever made; for my mental and emotional well-being and my pocket.
during the next days propably many far-right accounts will be suspended from twitter some have been already.
That's great, but also mean they will look for a new plattform.
It is crucial that if ppl promote mastodon on twitter during the time until 31/12 #twitterevacuationday to make it very clear that here is no tolerance for racism, sexism, bigotry....
