@nprofile…w8ap Well, maybe once I've had some practice. In my mind many of them would be fanfiction.

2026-08-16 18:59:53 UTC

Thinking of using the Mastodon box to practice writing ultrashort stories. Not posting them, but just clicking "new post," and writing the story 'til I hear the beep saying I've gone over my limit.

2026-08-16 03:53:48 UTC

Does anyone know if worldkey.io is still around? My friend is having trouble logging in, and I know a lot of instances have gone down lately, so I wasn't sure if it was that or if their account got deleted due to inactivity. Thanks.

@nprofile…4n7a Oh, that's interesting! Well I've been wanting to put my brain to work... But when I learned..almost everything I know about computers in high school, I was surrounded by people to help teach me stuff. Now I'm mostly on my own. I wish I knew someone who had it so I could try it first.

Anyone got any recommendations for extended fairy tales?
Alternately, the classic fantasy type where an unlikely group goes on an adventure together. There could be overlap here, which is why I decided to keep it 1 post.

It's a lot easier to edit the name of feeds in Blind RSS, which I like.

Wow, I just found a Disney station that plays not only the usual Disney songs, but also instrumental themes from things like Starwars and Spiderman, and some of the traditional Disney songs sound like they were ripped from the movies. It reminds me of the old Radio Lion King! Yet another blast from the past! #Disney

2026-07-19 02:13:46 UTC

I went to fast.sm, decided to bite the bullet and reinstall it, and now my life is disappearing as I comb through github looking for where to download it. What's wrong with whipping up a quick website with a "download" link? Then of course there's that soundpack I worked so hard on that I was too flustered to realize I had to move. I sent it to at least 2 people and I hope at least one of them still has it, because it seems I stupidly deleted it from my Dropbox.

2026-07-17 07:35:21 UTC

Unexpectedly I found that the stories where Julian and Garak raise a child together are some of my favorites, especially when other canon characters are included in the story. #Fanfiction #StarTrek

2026-07-08 01:02:38 UTC

I hate when you take eye drops and some of it winds up in your throat. Anyone else ever had this happen?

It was the rise of chatfics and other fanfics showing how characters would handle lockdown situations. There was also a guy on Twitter who made these funny thread about Star Trek characters.
Remember all the song parodies?
And people putting up musicals on Youtube!

I'm just a little bit embarrassed that I never bothered to learn Jaws or NVDA keyboard shortcuts. I mean, I didn't think I needed them, and it was just one less thing to learn, but those few seconds of time you save here and there really add up! E brings you to an edit box? That's so amazing! But it's always been there. It's nothing new to most people!

2026-05-25 13:08:27 UTC

Wow, I just realized I can often come across as a mansplainer, (gender aside), without intending to. Apologies if I've ever done that here.
But it's also a lesson in how not everyone who does those things does so maliciously or deliberately.

Oh yeah, and I won trivia by 10,000 points! I thought the hostess was kidding when she said that, but nope! I said I felt bad because it really didn't feel fair, to which she said "Why? This is your life's work!" Well yeah, that's one way of looking at it, lol. #Muppets

2026-05-15 07:02:26 UTC

At least I'm caught up with dating and rearranging my latest playlist, so that's something. The problem with things like this is, I'll never be done. I'll just keep adding to it until I start doubting my decisions, which is already starting to happen, and then I'll be somewhat disgusted with the whole thing.

2026-04-30 11:32:16 UTC

Thinking about some of the books I read and loved as a kid that I forgot about. There's one that I can't remember the name of, and it's proving hard to search for. I found an AI book searching tool, but of course I wanted to ask here first.
It starts off with a teacher in a wheelchair, but it's not really about her. It goes into 4 short stories about her students that ended up connecting. In the first, a boy helps with a wedding, and in the second 1, a girl rescues turtles with her grandfather.

2026-04-29 20:34:11 UTC

Back in the day they had cassette cases and CD wallets. Do they make anything pretty and practical to keep a bunch of USB sticks in? I've been using a small and stirdy candy box, lol.

2026-04-29 00:29:34 UTC

Do you get offended if someone comes to you for advice, you give them what you think is good advice, and then they don't take it? Part of me understands the impulse to get annoyed, but a bigger part of me says "Who do you think you are?" Maybe you're advice wasn't what they needed or really isn't gonna work for them because of some factor you didn't know about. Maybe they didn't communicate as well as they could, as tends to happen when a person is upset, stressed, or for many other reasons.

2026-04-18 08:24:40 UTC

I feel depression coming on, or deepening. The kind where I don't want to talk to, or more precisely deal with anyone, but at the same time I know talking to people is exactly what I need to do.
And I don't even mean having serious talks about deep stuff. I mean just connecting with people on any level.

2026-04-16 09:18:19 UTC

So Lilo keeps scratching at the treat cart and I keep telling her no no no. Finally I give in and pour out the few treats I have left in here, which aren't her favorite but she will eat when she sees I'm not giving her anything else, and she leaves the room. Well then! Hopefully she'll eat them in the middle of the night.

2026-04-15 22:49:12 UTC

I don't know when or if I'm going to actually watch all these movies, but going through the directory on Audio Vault is a lot of fun!

Sitting here feeling angry and disgusted the evening before my birthday, with no dinner plans. I'd like to say that only my mother could make me feel this way, but sadly I know a few people who could, and they all happen to be in my family.

2026-04-04 03:01:47 UTC

Don't you just hate it when you have some expensive and/or hard to find treat in your fridge, and you go to get some, and you find you're almost out?

According to Me TV FM, today is world piano day. Does anyone here play?

2026-03-29 04:13:57 UTC

We got back about an hour ago, and I'm so tired! I want to read for a bit, but I think I should just go to bed. That probably means I'll be up before dawn, lol, but at least I'll be rested. That's assuming my leg doesn't start hurting again and make me get out of bed. Night all!

2026-03-28 20:00:37 UTC

Am I the only one who still says "celphone" instead of just "phone"?

2026-03-28 19:27:14 UTC

We're'll be leaving for dinner and the Celtic Woman concert soon. I'm putting some finishing touches on the Irish music stick I'm making for the ride. I've got everything I can think of, about 2 hours and 15 minutes maybe of music, but I feel like I can do more.

2026-03-28 07:37:13 UTC

Lilo just gave up on getting me to go to bed and lay down on my desk behind the keyboard, lol. I couldn't pull it out very far, but I did an inch or so to give her as much room as I could. She seems quite happy about it all!

2026-03-28 06:54:52 UTC

Some people like movies precisely because they're "so bad they're good." I never got that with movies, but I do with music. Sometimes loud obnoxious pop music is just what the night calls for.

2026-03-27 21:45:45 UTC

2026-03-27 01:19:33 UTC

One of my dream dumb purchases I'd make if I had the money to thow away on really expensive dumb stuff is a binaural headset and microphone. Now the only reason I keep saying it's dumb is because I'd have no idea how to use it. I wouldn't want it for too much, just using it for making really high-quality recordings of various things: singing while walking through the house, walking through the park, Etc, but I wouldn't know what else I would need for that. Think it might be a bit much effort.

2026-03-26 16:54:01 UTC

I was accused of being passive-aggressive. Honestly, it's not completely undeserved, but nor is it completely accurate. The truth is when I'm angry or upset, I like to take joy in tiny rebellions that most people wouldn't even recognize as such. Like, if you get me really steamed maybe I'll use your bathroom and use the last of the toilet paper and don't even try to replace it. Dumb things like that. In fact I'd like to be more passive-aggressive, but I'm too passive. I've gotta work up to that.

"Lowkey" is the new "litterally". Yes, they are real words, well a word and a phrase people have turned into a single word, that have very good and particular meanings that no other word quite fits the meaning of, that are so overused, often inappropriately, that they practically have no meaning. Even when they fit I hesitate to use them now because I don't want to seem like I'm just mindlessly following the trend.

Turns out that when looking for an old Reddit comment, searching Fluent Reader is much more efficient than combing back through my old email. My first time doing that. Works great!
