Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Thursday, 22-Dec-2022 07:28:57 JST Spencer In the last few months, pretty much all of the shoes I wear regularly have failed. That means I have the opportunity to get some new ones that line up with my wardrobe and footwear goals... but that also means I have to think about what those goals actually are. ? -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Thursday, 22-Dec-2022 02:49:46 JST Spencer @bethsawin Agreed! I know some people who are big into techno solutions, and I value this reminder that answers (or partial answers, even) don't have to be big or flashy. -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Wednesday, 21-Dec-2022 23:35:04 JST Spencer @roseveleth Nope, I do not like that. Calls to mind something Mike Pondsmith said recently: "Cyberpunk was a warning, not an aspiration." -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Monday, 19-Dec-2022 04:34:00 JST Spencer I wonder if Musk even realizes how much he's further destroying his site's userbase here.
From my understanding, Twitter has been one of the more preferable sites for sex workers, cam models and other online sexual content creators, due to a laxer policy on nudity in media. It also happens that such creators (among others, of course!) will often link to simple link-aggregator homepages like Linktree in their bios. This update makes that a bannable offense.
Musk is such a small-minded, insecure man, and it's clear that no matter how many dollars he burns, they won't stave off loneliness's chill.

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Saturday, 10-Dec-2022 01:54:06 JST Spencer The less time I spend on the birdsite, the quicker I'm noticing when I've gotten sucked into doomscrolling. That feeling of disgust and dread when I read transphobic talking points or watching scores of bootlickers praising tyrants has become rare for me elsewhere, so it stands out when it does show up. -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Dec-2022 22:10:44 JST Spencer For the first time, I've written flavor text for #netrunner cards that will actually be going to print!
These two cards are from @NullSignalGames' upcoming release, Parhelion.
You can find those cards, as well as many others, on NetrunnerDB. -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Friday, 02-Dec-2022 08:45:59 JST Spencer @marek I can see the value of this and generally like it. However, given that Friendica lends itself to larger posts than Mastodon, including posts that might use multiple images interspersed within the body of the text, I am wary of any solution that compiles all the images in a post and displays them as "attachments" at the end.
There are times when I want to use images in the middle of a post, and they'd become much less meaningful in a compiled cluster at the end of the post, even if they were in a much prettier grid. -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Thursday, 01-Dec-2022 12:02:58 JST Spencer It's the time of year when I dust off my blog post draft entitled "Your Criticism Is Shit" and think about how satisfying it will be to eventually publish it. -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Tuesday, 29-Nov-2022 20:16:28 JST Spencer me, washing dishes: god, so much of US history and politics, past and present, domestic and international, has been about exploiting the hell out of a class of people while developing policies and force to prevent that same class from actually using their labor power as leverage, and... hold on, I've heard this somewhere

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Nov-2022 07:22:25 JST Spencer Welp, I'm doin' it. I've set Semiphemeral to start deleting my old tweets, in preparation for locking down my Twitter account and walking away from the site permanently (for personal stuff).
When 2022 started, I didn't expect in the slightest that I'd be fully disconnecting from Twitter like this before the year was out. How things change. -

Spencer (spencer@motley.club)'s status on Tuesday, 15-Nov-2022 12:42:58 JST Spencer @junebug In that timeline, I'm definitely an alt-right shitlord. Maybe trying to work in marketing or web design; I dunno what guys like that do for work. I'm bitter and lonely and believe empathy is a weakness and everything can be solved logically (yet can't seem to logic myself into a satisfying life).
It wouldn't have taken much of a push, which always scares me. I dabbled in 4chan in high school, was a Dawkins-esque antitheist, and entered college self-describing as "more of an egalitarian than a feminist". I was also pretty darn socially anxious due to some pernicious beliefs about my own lack of worth. I could have gone down that path pretty easily.
