I woke up on my day off like I usually do, basically just procrastinating for hours and hours. And then I logged onto Mastodon, and then Threads. I like to start off my day by doing some posting, like you do. And then I saw that, uh, well, the official...

No, I’m not being paid by MiHoYo to write about, or stream Zenless Zone Zero (or ZZZ). I felt like I wanted to write about it, because, as an adult who has to work, a lot, and is always out and about with less time at home in front of...

Just recently, Threads initiated phase two of their federation with the fediverse. Now, users on Threads can finally see posts from those replying to them from, say, a Mastodon account. For the longest time, you were simply sending your Threads posts to the Fediverse, and never seeing much info about...

Warning: This post mentions acts of inappropriate interactions with minors. It was four years ago, everything was pretty normal, or as normal as normal could be on Twitter (or, at least, nearer to the end of Twitter's life, before it became an X). Maybe some people followed and watched Dr....

How do you waste the most time every day? In today's writing prompt, we're asked how we waste the most time every day. I feel like this can be really subjective, and it matters most what you consider a "waste of time." I feel like, if you're making progress toward...
