That’s super traumatic! I’m so sorry that happened to you.
The height of irony that Tumblr is better than Twitter at what Twitter was originally designed for.
Interacting with local people is definitely a good one. If there are any community events, especially recurrent ones, go there!
Mmm sasparilla
Oh cool! Our town does something similar in the summer. One street is dedicated to the farmer’s market, and several chunks of parking are converted to outdoor seating.
Paywalled. Here’s the article via the Universal Summarizer by Kagi.
There’s something cathartic about seeing a comic character enact over the top violence on someone representing our everyday annoyances and rude people.
Wow, that is really interesting. Thanks for posting!
And knowing that the community (that I’ve curated anyway) is generally not toxic and overly hostile, especially to civil discourse. That fosters trust that if I engage, I’m not going to be downvoted and socially shunned because of some minor community fixation.
When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.
Ditto! Sometimes I struggle with getting carried away at night, but talking through to myself when I go to snack helps me with getting it back under control (…usually.) Just going “Why do I feel like I NEED a second dessert?” can sometimes get me to stop and walk away.
Glad the librarians care.
I’m surprisingly into it! I’m not much of a major sci-fi person, though I’ve dabbled. It’s a bit harder for me to get into sci-fi in general, and I figured Dune would be a difficult read. But I find it very easy to visualize. Sometimes the random terminology trips me up but I’m still getting the gist enough to enjoy it. I haven’t gotten very far yet so that may change but I think I’m going to like the book.
The fact that this meme is using Smithers is particularly ironic
I bet!! It sounds like you had a truly exhausting day!
I guess I’m surprised because I’ve never been at a hotel that didn’t have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can’t check in, but I’m surprised you couldn’t plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.
I love Good Omens. Never fully got through Dracula but reading the annotated version, for as far as I did get, was fun!
Currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert. (I have not seen the movie yet–I want to read the book first.)
Currently listening to Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. I generally reserve audiobooks for things I have read. I don’t like to reread things but I like listening to them and picking up on the stuff I missed (or in the case of the Dresden Files, forgot.)
I’m a Salesforce administrator.
Best Part - when I get to sit down and create a cool new feature or automation for my org, something that makes everyone’s lives easier and better.
Worst Part - having to teach users the most basic shit ever, like how to make a simple report.
Special Edition Worst Part - When I know things that my senior admin should know but doesn’t because she doesn’t seem to pay attention to anything she hasn’t directly touched, despite daily standups.
