the major advantage mastodon gives me from a publishing perspective is just that it has an app i can use from my phone

but i wonder if i could automate some git stuff with Shortcuts to make pushing a small text file of a status to a repo just as simple

beyond that i think the exclusivity of the limited audience leads to a strengthening of the parasocial aspects like

yes you are learning things about a person that not everybody knows but that still doesn't mean you like, know them at all as a person, and it especially doesn't mean they know you

yes there is still the hypothetical problem of “status updates for a limited audience” but in practice i don't find that to be that pressing; just send an email or chat message if you need someone to know you're doing something but don't want the whole world to know

what i mean though is i don't actually like social media that much for having actual conversations, and for status updates you can get away with something much simpler

yes i know this is just OStatus

honestly for what i use social media for it could probably be handled with some shell scripts and a public atom feed

« “Clothing doesn’t make me a better warrior,” Link said » you tell 'em champ

« the Clamanity »

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO TYPE JAPANESE

why can’t music apps just let me copy the name of a fucking artist or song

« Democratic voters have no shortage of motivation to turn out: Many feel as though their basic rights are being threatened, something a party’s voters ordinarily aren’t concerned about when it controls both the presidency and Congress. » hm

i've seen two links in the past week and one from a somewhat reputable source

why do people link to deseret news

actually THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES already said everything we need to know

news apps: just let me tell you what things i'm interested in

« It is not that queer people create culture and normative people get to consume it. We are trying to meet our needs »

« he did no more than trace languid circles around her nipples, a move which might have charmed a skittish animal but failed to increase her ardor »

« before she could speak, Link pulled an enormous rainbow-spotted fish from the too-small pouch at his waist and waved it by the tail in the air between them.

“I have lots more fish!” he said. »

at any given moment one of these is probably playing in my brain

i always get one of two songs stuck in my head:

- the menu music for madden 2001 on the nintendo 64

- behind these hazel eyes
