@noelle .. WTF?

@sadie_bunny I *love* the look of that. ^_^

(Feels like the kind of story a friend might also enjoy - she runs the Rocket City sim over in SL)

Apparently just seen at Brighton Pride. ^_^

A couple of people from various instances have mentioned that #Mastodon is confusing at first. So I decided to write a comprehensive guide on how to get started with Mastodon.

Hopefully this helps new users to Mastodon. Please do Boost if you feel it could be useful to others.

@kev Very good work! Two tweaks I'd be tempted to make:

- in "The Fediverse", it might be worth noting that you don't have to remember everyone's full @name@instance; folks unfamiliar with Masto might inadvertently see that as a point of friction. Perhaps a screenshot showing the usual autocomplete once you start entering someone's username?

- in "Moderation Tools", perhaps note (AFAIK) that reports are sent to /your/ instance's admin, and /if you choose/, to the remote admin as well.

@Sylvhem Egh, indeed. For so long, I simply put on a t-shirt and leggings (and usually, when outside, jeans). But now, there are so *many* more options to choose from.. ! It's definitely going to take time to gauge what works for me.

Still, it'll be fun exploring. ^_^

@ada I thoroughly approve of this line of reasoning. ^_^

@ghost_bird It's one of my favorite easy dishes - so many harmonious flavors, and of course, I can make it to just the heat level I'm wanting that day, whether vivacious or more highly spirited. =:)

Classically, it should include bell peppers to complete the onion/celery/peppers triad, but I don't usually tend to keep bell peppers around, and I've found the dish doesn't really lose out.

@iona The only time I was thereabouts was for an interview, after which I revelled in the offerings of the Selfridges food hall. ^_^

@Jo That does sound like a very good idea, actually. (And I always try to keep a couple good coffees around - single estates or microlots from Union Roasted. Bit more expensive than supermarket stuff, but so easily worth the difference, with all the subtleties per variety, and freshly roasted & dispatched to order)

Okay, let's try that "waking up" thing again, shall we? O.o

@ghost_bird It's some (very effective) form of self-upsell: at each stage, that voice is encouraging that "well, if you did /this/ too, it wouldn't be much extra work at all".

See also: only wanting something simple with rice, and leaving with a jumbalaya of chicken, kielbasa, prawns, rice, chickpeas, celery, onion, mushroom, and tomato. (With thyme, sage, cayenne, Sriracha, garlic purée, and smoked hot paprika)

@eve Definitely one of San Francisco's great qualities, too. ^_^ I used to love looking down Taraval, the land gently sloping down, and then, beyond, the wondrous expanse of the Pacific. ^_^ Ah, such a lovely walk, ambling along the beach, occasionally photographing sand patterns or graffiti on the drift breaks..

@ziphi Time to engage in some mail order retail therapy, from somewhere with free returns, so if the fit isn't good, you can just exchange/return without being lumbered with postage again. ^_^

@masklayer "Camera or sculpture? You decide!"

@Kit_Myotis Oh, that's wonderful! ^_^

A quite beautiful voice in this music video by the Taiwanese group Hello Nico, including translated lyrics in the comments:

@Violet It's rather good. ^_^ Only two seasons, but definitely noteworthy television.
