[247] I'm not broke, so please don't mend me

[merridia]

Sunday is usually the day when I plot out my next Wednesday-Tuesday set of plans, and let me tell you, plotting out a work week WHILE AT WORK feels real bad!

Whatever, doing it for the money. Sixteen hours at time-and-a-half without compromising my sleep is worth it. Also I've been walking around in my socks at all times except when I need to go into the garage as silent reminder to everyone here that THESE ARE MY DAYS OFF. Whatever, old radio shows will pull me through, and then I can stay up all night watching wrestling again.

The Meg 2 was about half bad movie and half good bad movie. A nice night out.

eh I don't think anyone is actually moving to Bluesky so much as just staking claims? I'm for sure not switching over until/unless they introduce locked accounts.

THAT'S SO MUCH TIME TO BE AT WORK

Ugh, I hope that's just the case, I think I'm mostly just annoyed because I've JUST started putting in the effort to make Mastodon work for me and if I end up having to do it all over again somewhere else it'll just be like 'what's even the point'. There's never gonna be any one thing that perfectly replicates the Twitter experience, we just gotta evolve with the times, you know? But if someone wants to chuck me an invite at some point, it definitely won't HURT to have a presence there, so I'm probably just being salty for no reason.

I LISTENED TO A WHOLE LOT OF OLD TIMEY RADIO SHOWS

[eternaldaisy]

Oh yeah, it's a SUPER stressful thing all around. But at least right now, I think it's definitely just a matter of HAVING Bluesky, no one actually wants to switch from Mastodon. Like, I might use Bluesky like I would a public Twitter, since I don't want to use Twitter? But I'm pretty settled on Mastodon.

A GOOD WAY TO SURVIVE MANY HOUR OF WORK I GUESS. i watched muppet treasure island while working earlier
