@alansuspect I actually enjoy the taste of a lot of shitty beer and NA beers give me that now. Not recommended for people for whom even a 0.05% of alcohol is a trigger, but for me it keeps the social and taste aspect I want

I wrote this 2 years ago about my relationship with alcohol

@johnglass hugs

Alcohol consumption is down a lot for younger people and that’s probably for the best.

As a person who used to center alcohol, I cut it completely 2 years ago and never looked back. The degree to which many societies normalize binge drinking (the UK for sure and also most of corporate life in East Asia) is scary and I’m starting to see friends succumb to various illnesses related to drinking.

@NilaJones some of them were nippy and aggressive. There were so many in Singapore (at least 20 in each block, so there were many diff personalities incl cats that had been abused by humans)

@chrisjrn sbf might need a prison project

I saw a headline that said ‘giving thanks makes you more altruistic’ and thought ‘yes make me more autistic thank you’

When I was a teenager I was TERRIFIED of cats. I would cross a street when I saw one (often, as there were lots of ‘community’ / feral cats where I grew up). Now I’m on Mastodon posting Mila photos twice a day.

What happened, that I transitioned to cat lady?

Easy. I became a lesbian, and first it was mandatory, and now voluntary.

@Verso Maangchi’s!

The Penguin is the first DC series I like, and also the first one in which I can see anything at all (they seem to have found lights, which is great)

@pagrus oh I copied it from the article

@ellie oh no, one more dykey hobby to pick up

One time I was telling a friend I felt like I was picking up more dykey sports and she said ‘stand up paddle boating??’ So I also have to investigate that
