We may have to spend slightly more words than that on the topic next time, but apparently we still got a lot of thanks for the talk despite confusing everyone over pronouns all through it, so maybe not that big a deal

They were somewhat confused who "we" referred to, but whatever lol. We mentioned plurality in passing at the start, gave a link on DID, and moved on, because we're kind of bored with always explaining it

we gave a talk today to a bunch of our coworkers, most of whom we did not previously know

"Challenging Situations in Peer Support"

it went really well!

Science. Technology. Engineering. Mathematics. Long ago, the four fields lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Engineering Nation attacked.

So if we want to get more bad news about the world on Mastodon, who should we follow?

We already failed at this, we just couldn't handle being separated from the constant feed of bad news about the world.

But we're trying to at least spend more time on Mastodon.

Hmm. So far we're feeling withdrawal from the constant sense of fear about politics

Last time we made a serious effort to change our habits, there were no good mobile apps for Mastodon, so it was a nonstarter

Okay, Twitter is doing annoying things, we're challenging ourselves to only use Mastodon this weekend

We logged in to Mastodon tonight because we heard someone died, someone who was well-loved to at least some people we know here.

We didn't know her, as far as we can tell. She sounds like quite a person. If any of you did, we're very sorry for your loss, and we wanted to let you know we're mourning with you.

those new to the whole grieving process:

each day it will get a bit better

yes, it does get better

it's never great, but it's better

it just takes time

let the grieving process run its natural course

and don't forget to live your life

Huh. Haven't logged into Mastodon in a while. The "Home" view is no longer showing toots by beings we follow, although there have been some. Is that an intentional change, or a bug, or it's just we need to fix a setting, or...?

Earlier, we pulled off our first Tetris perfect clear in an actual PuyoPuyo Tetris match. Twenty lines of garbage, or something like that.

And then we lost that game. :) High-ranking Puyo players are scary!

While we were gone from Mastodon, we got reasonably okay at PuyoPuyo Tetris. A long ways to go if we want to be tournament-good, but we're on our way there maybe.

Hi Mastodon! We have been not doing a great job of participating here - just remembered it exists :)
