god i love dragon prince, never talks down and handles some very big issues.

aside from the previously mentioned uses for people with disabilities, i’d also mention straws can be very helpful for young children first learning to become independent. boba would be pretty difficult to drink, too.

i personally have a firefish account but it hasn’t really ‘clicked’ for me. i don’t follow a whole ton of people so my personal feed is pretty slow. i’ve had a couple of meaningful interactions but on there and before the latest elon meltdown i was aware of some interesting ARGs/spooky threads on the birdsite but otherwise i don’t really vibe with microblogging.

i was made aware of spacehey recently and i adore any social media with that level of customization but my issue is that i really don’t have anything to blog about. maybe i need to lead a more exciting life? lol

The only one I use super frequently is :3 which I imagine isn’t a surprise to anyone lol

Me? Definitely not lmao. I met my current and only partner on a discord server for depressed people and we bonded over being weird shut ins

in fairness the directions on the back of the tube still state you should use a pea sized amount. i feel like that’s not all that helpful though, peas come in lots of different sizes.

imo the purpose of those cheesy lines is more to break the ice and get your prospective partner to laugh and loosen up rather than to swoon them, sounds like it worked to me.

aldi has a knockoff version of reese’s puffs that are fantastic, extra good for me since i can’t get the branded kind in my country all too often.

For me, university literally made me depressed. But I also met my partner online during that time. I enjoyed studying but this myth that college is the time when you’ll meet loads of friends, have tons of sex and wild parties, etc. Is very, very harmful

i also have never really self harmed (sometimes i used to bite the flesh under my thumb really hard but otherwise nothing) but for me, it was to provide a distraction. it’s difficult to think about everything else being shit when you’re focused on physical pain.

i’ve only seen reservoir dogs once but i feel like i need to rewatch it just to gain greater understanding of the whole situation. those are my favourite type of rewatch experiences.

i use spotify, on my browser while i’m in the office and using spicetify while i’m home. on my phone i’ll use xmanager. i’ll use headphones if i’m in the office but my monitor’s or phone’s speakers at home. i listen to podcasts all the time, either that or video essays. my favourites are stuff on true crime and video games.

i feel like this is something you need to take up with the mods of whichever community is removing your posts.

there’s a couple of furry ones, yiffit.net (NSFW) and pawb.social (idk if they allow nsfw or not)

i’d used mastodon.social briefly after the tumblr porn ban but then switched back when it turned out to be not that big a deal. not to mention i really didn’t understand the concept of different servers or how federating/defederating worked. i floundered for a couple of days before i came across my current setup. calckey account which i look at rarely and an account on a small lemmy server for stability purposes.

my favourite lunch right now is scrambled egg on toast with an american cheese slice between the bread and the egg

Misskey is microblogging á la birdsite, largely Japanese. Calckey has English and Hebrew alternatives as well as others. It plays nice with Mastodon but it’s more fully featured. I personally use sloth.run and I’d suggest giving it a go, the emoji are super cute

Swiping can be useful if I have fake nails on but largely I just individually tap with my thumbs

the best thing is for people like me who just used instagram to lurk it works really well with mastodon or calckey. just follow whoever you like and it’ll show up in your feed no problem
