Profile picture is a drawing of a great spotted woodpecker (by @snowystripes@social.jnpw.net). My header is a photo of a great spotted woodpecker taken by me.
why is it so intimidating when someone has follower requests enabled :drgn_flat_nervous: I think I’ll just appreciate their posts From Afar
a coursemate was crocheting a small stuffed animal which to me looked like a rodent. it was shaped like °o~ (small head, round body, tail). so I asked her if it was a mouse
it was supposed to be a tiny dragon :D but the wings weren’t on yet
Settings > Accessibility > Spiders (yes/no)
I haven’t played a lot of games but this was a very interesting setting to see (and it’s a nice warning I guess)
*has two unopened packs of apple cookies*
*looks over at Hex’s open package of chocolate cookies*
me to Hex: chocolate cookie ? 🍪👉👈
It’s a bit jarring to see someone use =) [me internally: grandmother! what big eyes you have]. You often just see :) [or eyeless ones from Russian people] or actual emojis, though I have to say I prefer the smiley with the nose :-) because it seems more friendly to me
accidentally dumping half the bottle of dried chives to my pasta which means I now have chives with a side of pasta
Thinking about working on a paper :wolf_notes:
After fifteen minutes of writing ![]()
an update must have broken obsidian because I am not able to open PDFs all of a sudden? the in-app console says it’s a CORS error (??) which is so weird and unexpected to see outside of a web context ![]()
also on a similar note: tfw a bird/creature has “common” in its species name and it’s anything but (at least according to my observations) :brdThink:
when a stranger uses gender-neutral language, I always think to myself: are they doing that for inclusivity reasons or have they already figured out I’m queer
accidentally triggered a door alarm bc I forgot which direction to twist the key in
it was so loud
my phone case was Forcefully Changed and now it feels so weird in my hands ahhh :drgn_x_x:
There are lots of signs with the words “smoke-free station” or “Thank you for not smoking” on them around but most people seem to ignore them. I’d admonish them about that fact but they would probably just roll their eyes or worse - to reference something that appeared in national news -, bite my ear off. Unfortunately I don’t look terrifying enough to be taken seriously :wolf_gun:
Was out for a jog just now and a middle-aged man walking his dog who I passed by twice cheered me on
I’d be lying if I said that didn’t put a spring in my step :brdWoodpecker:💨
Having a keyboard shortcut to move windows across monitors is a tiny thing that is somehow missing from native macos
wondering why my (locked) laptop was beeping and it turns out the keyboard Hex was using was connected to it and unintentionally trying to log in ![]()
was very surprised to see Spyro plush toys inside a claw machine at a local fair???
> This is the perfect place for hide and seek. It’s so spacious.
someone dragged an entire piano onto the street in the city center just to play river flows in you
Had a funny visual glitch recently during an online lecture (we use MS Teams) where the entirety of the window decided to output itself in one of my coursemates’ camera boxes
So I had a mostly black UI where everyone’s faces were supposed to be except for that tiny cam window where someone was screen-sharing a presentation… I hope my squinting wasn’t that obvious :brdLol:
you hop off the shower.
you want to prep your overnight oats.
you realize that you could be brewing an Herbal Infusion while you are making your overnight oats.
you look for the mug you used earlier.
you go back to the kitchen to turn the kettle on.
you return to the living room to hunt for the mug. the mug is not there.
the water hasn’t finished boiling yet, so you proceed with the oats.
in the middle of making oats, the kettle beeps.
you pour hot water in a new mug.
you finish prepping, but your drink is still steeping…
you write a post to pass the time.
bzzt bzzt your timer rings.
Hmph… She’s so naive. This is why I say she’s just a collection of single-celled organisms.
I’ve been listening to her since 2021 and I’m almost ashamed I didn’t know she was kababayan
want to feel as much joy and whimsy as this one guy on IG who gleefully skips to the instrumental break in taxes by geese
how much peck would a peckwooder wood if a peckwooder could wood peck
