   Dear Mastodon,

   Thank you.

   Last night (and again this morning) I went on a doomscrolling expedition.

   It was my first one in a few years, as I'd tried very hard to kick my old doomscrolling habit. In fact, it was my first proper doomscroll since I fled the bird site. It was also my first doomscroll that ended well.

   My feed had enough doom on it to scratch the itch and help give voice to the feelings that sent me doomscrolling. It also had cats, lots and lots of cats.* It also had people productively grieving and talking about how to help each other and what we can do next.

   It also ended. I ran out of doom to scroll. That was the amazing part. Back on the bird site, there was infinite doom. Over here, I can read posts faster than they show up on my feed. Sure, I could follow more people, but I kind of like it this way. It was amazing. I repeat, I RAN OUT OF DOOM TO SCROLL.

   Anyway, I wanted to thank the community that exists here. You gave me the doom I needed, but you also gave me a way forward, you gave me so many cats, and then you stopped and told me it was time to go to sleep.

   *I cannot recommend #CatsOfMastodon highly enough!

   If we're not doing well, we can possibly hide it somewhat from our loved ones for a few days, maybe less when it stretches to several, but beyond that..?

   We try to protect them, to give them reprieve from anxiety, fear and disruption. We don't want to burden them.
   I suspect they know and hide that for our sake as well.

   My wife is less than 2 weeks away from going on her bucket list vacation. This means everything to me.
   I've been in emergency twice this past week.

   Damn, this is hard.

   I made a new thing: slash pages dot net https://slashpages.net/

   What is it? A guide to common pages you can add to your website. Thanks to @shellsharks
   for the help in getting a good description together as well.

   My blog post about it: https://rknight.me/blog/slash-pages/

   @robin @jeff Thanks. I know it sounds paranoid, but I feel like if I use a Chromium alternative browser that I am just using a different flavor of Google.

   I was shocked when Opera switched to Chromium, & later on it seemed many others (including Microsoft!!!) switched as well.

   My concern with Firefox is that they are heavily dependent on Google (financially wise), creating a precarious situation. I ponder if they will actively exist five years from now.

   I think one of my sticks of RAM have died... But that still doesn't explain my swap being half as well.

   My desktop is acting very strange. I don't think it.

   @RickiTarr Casablanca -- it's hard to point to any one thing... it could have been a very ordinary film but everyone in it carries the vibe so well.

   My Neighbor Totoro -- it's just so charming, so atmospheric, and explores the relationships between imagination, animism, and life in the countryside

   The City Of Lost Children -- pause at any time and the frame is a painting dripping with menace

   Any Spuderverse movie -- total sensory overwhelm. Find a big screen and loud speakers.
