It's kind of funny to me how when I first discovered the furry fandom in the 90s it's because I believed myself to be an animal in a human body and most folks in the fandom were like "nah that isn't a thing" and since then I've come to accept that I'm human and fast forward 25 years and now there's a big and growing movement where it's like most furries seem to identify as nonhuman at a spiritual level and it's weird to be the outlier who *doesn't*

In 2009, I join Twitter. I make friends there. I can see their posts. Twitter has a Nazi problem. I pre-emptively join Mastodon. But I don’t really use it yet. Elon Musk buys Twitter. My friends start leaving. I no longer see their posts. I want to see my friends’ posts. - I find my friends again on Mastodon. Now I have two apps to keep track of. But I can see my friends’ posts again. My instance admins get in a fight. Friends’ instances defederate from mine. I can no longer follow them, nor they me. I am told about this by a friend who noticed. There is no indication given by the software. I am not notified of the connections I’ve lost. I want to see my friends’ posts. - A friend invites me to their instance. I accept, and migrate my profile across. I re-follow missing friends I can remember. And I can see my friends’ posts again. A friend posts photos on her instance. But those photos are not visible on mine. Her profile appears, to me, devoid of images. My new instance seemingly media-blocks hers. There is no indication given by the software. - I just want to see my friends’ posts. Am I wrong to want that? - https://moonbase.lgbt/blog/i-want-to-see-my-friends-posts/

@sphakos@toot.cat "It's almost like neuro-spicy folks like to hang out with each other..." Right?! 😂 Seems to happen on other dimensions of identity too! Like, genuinely shocking numbers of people I've formed strong ties with have ultimately been diagnosed as neurospicy, and/or with EDS, and/or come out as queer/trans. Love that we find each other even before we self-identify these ways. (...so yea I'm definitely thinking a lot more about autism rn...)

2023 was a decent year for me. With the kids now 1 and 3 I think I finally started to realize I’m a dad (!!) with all the responsibilities that come with that, and I started to adapt (way less travel, etc). Professionally, I’m really happy with what me and @charlieegan3 have accomplished during quite a turbulent year. And of course #Regal, the linter for #Rego that I started work on in January, and which now has a small community of users and contributors. Happy new year everyone! 🥂❤️

Attached: 1 image I don't think we'll ever get private offices again because tech workers are uniquely stupid when it comes to recognizing their own lack of individual power and too proud and full of hubris to admit that they would benefit from the power of collective bargaining
