The mastodon guide to coffee:

"Would you like to... come up for coffee"

"Is this a euphemism for physical intimacy, in that case yes. If it's coffee? .... honestly also yes. If there's a surprise third option, what the hell, yes"

Awww she kissed me six times last night - she must really need the practice! I bet she’s working up to admitting her feelings for someone she really likes and wants to make sure everything goes right - she’s such a sweetie… I hope it works out for her!

fyi ADHD people yes you, having coffee at 11pm because it helps you sleep. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

11pm: "hey I had a nice date, wanna come up for coffee?" is the most obvious clear euphemism because it's CLEARLY NOT ABOUT COFFEE. COFFEE WILL NOT BE INVOLVED.

Unless you have ADHD, so you think "Oh that's a nice comedown beverage, but I have some at home!"

While moving, I found a bottle of soy sauce probably there from when I moved in 15 years ago at the back of a kitchen cupboard.

Tipped it out and in the bottom of the bottle were little rocks - salt crystals. They're beautiful - and they taste amazing.

@siracusa crud! I was going to post a measurement too but forgot. The one that looks like a cube is about 7mm on its longest side - a quarter inch, ish.

Soy sauce generated salt crystals sitting on an iPhone torchlight.

IHDVGA was abandoned early on as keeping pins straight turned out more difficult than expected.

Most manufacturers still turned a profit by selling the leads without shells as convenent groundable wire brushes.

Canonically Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant are time lords, and their TARDIS is bigger on the inside.

Top is the outside of their trailer, bottom is a scene just seconds after on the inside of the same trailer.

Yes the USA has an effect worldwide, currently a chaotic one.

But jumping down the throats of folk who don't live there with HOW CAN YOU POST THAT WHEN RUFSHOD BUSKERNUT IS BACKING PROP 92 IN WEST ARKOTA

If that stops you enjoying an iPad with 12 centronics SCSI ports it's not a problem I can fix.

In bed, foot up and that wasn’t a fun way to spend twelve hours. Two urgent care visits, two x-rays, bloods, antibiotics and a packet of jellybeans.

No heelbone damage at least! Despite the nail needing some effort to pull out it was just my flesh yearning for the Fe.

Me while disassembling furniture: I must clean up those bits of wood with inch and a half long nails pointing upwards, they could be dangerous!.

girl you said we'd always be
then you rm -rf'd me
thought our love was gone forever
but i had snapshots back to december

🎶girl if the world crashes tonight
all the stars fall out of sight
got a copy of your smile
stored safely for a while
three copies, two locations
off-site no complications
babe i loved you so much more

The things you can tell from someone's bumper stickers.

The first warning arrived on a Tuesday morning, six weeks after consultants advised moving away from dependency on six hundred small excel scripts - and nobody at Zenith Ledger Advisory paid much attention.

I don’t know what to say in an earnest sense. Happy pride, folks, from me - I’m more and more proud as time goes by of having survived multiple versions of me, and came through all of it pretty okay. All those ages and genders and weighs and sexes, depressed and not and stealth and open and hiding and not.

Fifty five in a month. Thirty plus years transitioned. One lifetime goes a long way folks and there’s always always change.
