His style was indulgently fun. His racism was the result of sheer terror at everything he didn’t even try understand. Can you imagine living that way? Jeez. Nightmare.

One of the first words that I remember looking up in a dictionary for myself was the word "dais" while I was reading Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time". I would have been about 9 years old or a little younger when I read it. But I distinctly recall the way she used the word several times which made me look it up as I needed to confirm what I thought it meant in context. Seems strange to recall that so distinctly. 🙂

Have you ever seen a movie that was incredibly good but was also so disturbing or disgusting that you decided not to recommend it to anyone?

2026-01-18 14:03:51 GMT

Sometimes when I read an article that mentions off-hand some product I've never heard of, I stop and wonder if the entire reason for the article is to get people to check out that product. If that is the real reason, the article is not content but just an advertisement. It's becoming more difficult to tell the difference. This is why I do my best never to say what brand of anything I use or what brand of item I've just purchased.

2025-12-21 12:38:48 GMT

Suggestion
What if instead of dubbing things "good" or "bad", you explain what is harmful or beneficial about an event or activity and to whom it is harmful or beneficial. Generally throwing things into categories of "good or bad" is low quality moralizing and unhelpful.
I've been working on removing "good" and "bad" from my mental responses to events and it has expanded the way I think about the world. It has also made me less emotionally reactive to everything I hear and read about so that I am able to process the significance of an event instead of going straight to 11 on the Woe Scale.

2025-12-15 00:47:53 GMT

Did you have a favorite tree when you were a kid? For a time my family lived in Pennsylvania, and there was a very large crab apple tree behind the house. It was that perfect sort of tree that had a wide, nearly horizontal branch that you could climb up to and lie down on very comfortably. I would sit in that tree and daydream, problem solve, come up with ideas. When the apples were ripe, I'd nibble them a bit. Now, it reminds me of Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree." 💚 🍏

It used to be recommended that when you reply to someone, it would be polite to set the post privacy level to "Quiet Public" (formerly 'unlisted') so the Live Feeds aren't all clogged with Public posts that are actually replies. I've become accustomed to doing that automatically. But it seems like most people are replying set to Public and the Live Feeds are not showing those posts. Is there any purpose now to the Quiet public privacy setting?
Feditips currently says: Unlisted / Quiet Public – Anyone can see it, but it won’t appear in the trending posts list or the Local or Federated timelines, it won’t show up in search results and it won’t show up in other people’s hashtag follows. Unlisted can be useful for replying in threads, so that you’re not filling search results etc unnecessarily. Normally indicated by a crescent moon 🌙
https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon/
But, like I said, they aren't showing up in the local timeline (live feed). So, is the only purpose to avoid them showing up in searches?
