@Siphonay Just don't, apparently, use wikipedia for reading practice: https://www.metafilter.com/188374/The-problem-is-that-this-person-cannot-speak-Scots

@pisscotheque This is so true. If some nice person you like only posts on it, you can go to https://nitter.net and look up their username and you'll get an rss you can subscribe to so you can avoid the site other than their posts until they are able to make better social media choices.

Americans voting from overseas: If you are also experiencing long international mail delays in your area (it's over a month here), contact your Board of Elections and see if you can send & receive your ballot by email or fax.

I just checked for myself. In Florida we can receive our ballots by email or fax and return them by fax, and I called to sign up to do that. Now I'll just have to find a fax machine to send it back.

@natecull "Not being kind will be punishable by a sad inner knowing." Is going in my 2020 quote book next to "scream inside your heart".

Just stumbled across this. So many awesome user-created dynamic wallpapers for MacOS! https://dynamicwallpaper.club/gallery

@sergeisilence Yep, that's my most south-facing window.

@DrWhax@mastodon.social And that reminds me that I wanted to look up planting garlic since I think that needs to overwinter.

@Gina Omg that is awesome! What a great way to make the most of the space, and such cute grapes!

@phooky Ugh, yeah, that's what I'm afraid of, since evenings EST are middle-of-the-night CEST.

@phooky Is there a time when there are more humans in the game? The story stuff was a lot of fun, but there were no other people in when I played.

How's your covid #gardening going? I decided to try growing cucumbers indoors in my sunniest window and I just picked two big sweet cukes. Also, cucumber plants are too big to grow in a small office, fyi. But you still get cukes, so 🥒🤷🏻🥒

@jacethechicken @f0x And in case anyone is thinking well you could just drink coffee apparently, the relevant chemicals are in relatively low levels in coffee, you have to drink a lot of it to have an effect. It’s cruel to expect someone whose disorder makes them prone to insomnia and anxiety take high volumes of a sleep suppressant in order to get a frankly inadequate amount of relief when a targeted drug without those side effects is available.

@jacethechicken @f0x Fuck healthcare systems that don’t provide mental health support. Without Adderall (or since I live in Europe now dexamphetamine) I live in a state of constant overwhelm and paralysis caused by rapidly shuffling distracting thoughts. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
