Also you might be sick or suffering from seasonal depression. But it’s easy to feel like you ought to be over the time change, which isn’t true.
Hey y'all, reasons you might feel like crap today include:
- we're still getting over the time change! (Europe, are we in synch on this?)
Daylight has become a weird scramble puzzle. If you have a light box like I do, this is a good time to start using that. Also be gentle with yourself.

By the way, for people who came to Mastodon only relatively recently, you should know that the Single Greatest moment in Masto history was when https://mastodon.co.uk had connection troubles for, like, a few days, and the when it reconnected with the rest of the federation it pushed all the backlog in a short amount of time and @bigben WAS GOING OFF CONSTANTLY FOR HOURS and it was fricking HILARIOUS.
Therefor security in voting is also about trust and VERIFIABILITY.
This is why pen & paper is great, random election observers need no special skills to verify.
With computers it's: trust the hardware manufacturing process, trust the OS, trust the full chain of software, trust the reporting chain from there on up.
Distinct groups have no reasonable way to independently verify results. Normally, you can trust at least _some_ higher authority in computing. Not with elections, though.

To paraphrase/quote @Paperclippe:
Good night, witches,
Furries too.
Good night, masto,
And awoo.
The whole self cannot exist in this digital space and any perception thereof is self-delusion anyway, federation just makes it explicit. I know what can be stitched together and what never reconciled.
Reflection: if I’m sufficiently federated, you have to deal with less of me.
Is this a self-minimization? It could be, but I don’t think so.
@dog lovely! The t-shirt is great!!
Please be blessed by my dog and his ears.

I read this and now I'm crying
2/2 Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
"Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver.
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
...1/2
get you friends who will simultaneously talk with you about stuff you want to do at national scale AND use the phrase "oh noes" in the same message thread.
augh please help, a small dog keeps jumping into my lap and squeaking irritably and then rocketing off into the kitchen to ask for snacks. no more snacks bud.
