I really think it’s great that social media enable minority members to find peers, in many cases for the first time in their life.

So much lava in Iceland, but do i see it on mastodon? No! #aproposofnothing

Ridiculous things you realise 🤣

If your interpersonal behavior involves consistent bullying, belittling, and emotional manipulation of the people around you, then I'm going to be a wee bit skeptical if/when you present yourself as someone with a really incisive analysis of power and would like to humbly suggest that you take the word "comrade" out of your mouth until you learn just what the fuck it means.

They call me TMI because I've been known to meltdown and overshare.

I take it everyone is familiar with the expression "seagull management"? Someone who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everyone, then flies out? #AproposOfNothing

I dreamt had to cut/vaporise a hole through the roof using a device with a laser, so that the pope could escape in a helicopter. Weird dreams be weird. There was apparently a little chimney somewhere so the smoke wouldn’t set off the smoke alarm. #AproposOfNothing #dream

While people recognize Bruce Lee would have been 82 this week, my brain notes he was one year younger than my father… who took me to see ENTER THE DRAGON at the Astro Drive-In when I was four years old. #AproposOfNothing

Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance.
