one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbIing on some bread is better than starving.

DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU'RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU
WERE BEFORE.

reply by redheadhatchet:

One of my college professors used to say "anything worth doing is worth doing poorly." I didn't understand that for years because I didn't do anything poorly. I couldn't do anything poorly. I had to Do Everything Perfectly.

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting. Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible. Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible. Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because l don't have the energy to go anywhere.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly... because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.

Before the rise of industry, it was normal for people to sleep in two phases each night.

People had no set bedtimes. Sleeping was determined by whether or not there were things to do. Most people would have a first and second sleep, with a couple of hours awake inbetween. This is probably the way humans are supposed to sleep.

Modern schedules don't really let us do that. Perhaps we should think about changing that.

Erinnert ihr Euch noch daran, als sie gesagt haben, Bodycams würden mehr Sicherheit bringen? Tja... https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/polizei-zweierlei-mass-1.4338124

Hat das auswärtige Amt schon eine Reisewarnung für Bayern herausgegeben?

There is a song the children sing in #Cassoland, to chase the monsters away.
The words are nonsense, their meaning lost, but still, they seem to work.
But only seem to; no monsters are chased away.
Instead: for a while they are reminded they needn't be monsters at all.

Tipp: Statt "jeder" das Wort "alle" benutzen. Denn "alle" ist vollkommen neutral und zieht in einem evtl. folgenden Relativsatz ein Plural-die nach sich.
ZACK - alle können sich gemeint fühlen.

we try to talk about this a lot because like

a lot of people with mental illnesses don't see themselves as Really Disabled. executive dysfunction is a really big way in which this hurts people, because executive dysfunction is incredibly easy to interpret as "laziness"

you're allowed to call yourself disabled. you're allowed to request accessibility. those of us with physical disabilities want you here and listening and talking too

A couple things I saw and thought "Mastodon will love this":

- Alias, a 3D-printed "parasite" that sits on top of your Amazon Echo or Google Home, feeding white noise into its mic until you say the wake word: http://bjoernkarmann.dk/project_alias

- The adminbook, a wonderfully ugly design for the ideal sysadmin notebook: https://m.habr.com/en/post/437912/

sometimes, self care is Not “treating yourself”

sometimes self care means saving your money or energy or time

don’t let capitalism fool you into thinking you have to buy things to feel better / that it’s the only way to care for yourself

As usual, let's start with disclaimers:
-Popular people are not bad because they are popular, just like famous people are not bad just because they're famous.
-Clout is not bad. It is a natural part of human interaction. It's what you do with it that will determine things.
-I have clout. I know this. And, for the most part, I do my best to act accordingly.
-No matter how bad someone's take is, people do not deserve to be harassed and abused simply because they are popular on the internet and also problematic. Honestly, the best way to handle those types is to full on ignore them. They hate it.
-The above is not true for fascists, and for the rest of this thread, please assume I am not talking about legitimate bad actors.
-Good people can use bad praxis, and that's why I keep talking about this issue. I still have hope for growth.
-I am hungover right now.

The horror.... the horror......

Friends and fellow cyclists.
Consider using just steady lights instead of blinking ones. I am epileptic and have to bike everywhere to get around. Blinking lights, at best, give me a searing headache, and at worst a seizure.
Yes, it may take more battery or more charge power, but you are Still visible and not hurting people's heads and putting them at risk.

Thanks.

Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.

We are preparing a list of all EU-based #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale, and any other instances.

Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.

Please help. This is important.

This is monilaria moniliformis, and it’s a succulent that looks like little fuzzy bunnies.

I hope you’re having a nice afternoon! 💚
