  I'm staying in a duplex where there are two pianos. Why? A piano tuner and repair tech lives here. All that to say, not only am I broadening my Southern Washington and Oregon networks. I'm making friends in the music business just by virtue of hitting a button, buying a ticket and saying, I'm going back to the PNW this summer. All that to say, this is your gentle nudge to follow up with promising networking opportunities.

  I wish there was a button you could hit that says, I'm still here. Just padding around the fediverse like a cat instead of stomping through it like an elephant. Since that doesn't exist, have this toot instead.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/116818137407513454 I did not expect to see this in my time line today.

  In November of 2022, I spent three days in a psych hospital because I scared the people around me. At one point, I said that I wanted to “kill myself digitally.” I said I wanted to “die online.” People heard self-destruction. What I meant was something very different. I was exhausted from performing versions of myself that were built for survival. Versions of me designed to keep the peace. To soften myself. To stay acceptable. To stay safe. To make other people comfortable at my own expense....

  As I prepare to enter a legal profession, I have become even more interested in legal literature. So I renewed my student membership to Book Share. And that is when I discovered something that annoyed me. Not quite to the point of anger, but I was irritated. Court reporter books are still largely on paper. If I see a court reporting ebook, chances are it’s a novel, a story about the court reporting profession instead of a handbook or procedure manual. But if I type in words like paralegal, legal...

  One of the hardest things for me to untangle as I’ve gotten older is the realization that understanding another human being is far more fragile than I once believed. When I was younger, I thought misunderstandings mostly came from bad intentions. Gossip. Cruelty. Dishonesty. And sometimes they do. But I think a lot of what happened in my life was much quieter and far more complicated than that. I think many people were genuinely trying to understand me while lacking enormous amounts of context,...

  Night owl thoughts: Most people aren't reacting to the person we are today. They are reacting to the last version of us they remember, whether that version is current or not. It can take days, weeks, months, or even years for someone to update the snapshot some people have of us. Until then, they continue to respond to versions of us which are frozen in time.

  Only seven months till the midterm elections. Seven months until we can hopefully keep this war-hungry, power-hungry bully of a tyrant in check.

  Facebook Rando interaction of the day. Him: May I please ask you very personal questions, yes or no? Me: A queen does not indulge in personal questions from someone she just met.

  Installment 3: Thought Control — How Groups Shape What Feels Safe to Think When people hear the phrase thought control, they often imagine something extreme or dramatic. In reality, it usually develops in much quieter ways. Most groups—religious communities, activist circles, professional networks, hobby communities, or friend groups—operate around three basic anchors: • a mission (why the group exists) • a vision (what the group hopes to accomplish) • a set of core beliefs (assumptions membe...

  I noticed something interesting: the more I have begun clearing up ambiguity and embodying transparency across social media channels. Men who used to vibe with me have drifted away, but in their place, I gained rapport with women in their life. It's so fascinating to watch unfold.

  Over the years, people have asked how my distributed ethnographic case study actually works. Because the project involves collaborators across multiple countries and both online and in-person environments, I’ve written a short participation guide. What follows is an abridged explanation of the structure. A full operational manual also exists for readers who want more detail. PROJECT OVERVIEW This project is a distributed ethnographic study examining social dynamics, consent practices, digital...

  When some people read Rosie's writing on social media, they were left with the impression that I like to use social media as a public call-out space. For the record, when I publicly reflect on the experience someone gave me or I gave them, the intent is not to pass judgment on anyone as a person. It is instead an opportunity to reflect on how both parties came across to each other during moments where context was missing and people needed clarification that they didn't get at the...

  Man. I feel so worn out tonight. My muscle fatigue symptoms are a bitch today. So just resting. I hope everyone is having a good evening or a good day, wherever you may be.

  I had the weirdest dream this morning. I went to an Apple store in Long Beach, California. I got suited up, as in put on my shirt, my walkie-talkie, and my work iPhone holster. But then I couldn't remember the passcode to the iPhone, and that was when I suddenly remembered that I didn't work for Apple anymore.

  Just heard back from Monologue. They thanked me for my feedback and said they'll be improving the accessibility of the app. No timeline though.

  @GamingWithEars@mastodon.stickbear.me @evilcookies98@mastodon.stickbear.me I mean, the least they could have done is to use a British narrator, but they probably didn't have the ability to do that. I feel for Bard in that regard.

  @evilcookies98@mastodon.stickbear.me Well, it's not often I meet someone who hasn't finished all of the books yet, so I am really curious to hear more of your observations. That was cool.
