mastodon 4.7.3+glitchI live in Québec City, Canada, with my long time partner, a library-sized collection of books, and an unhealthy amount of toys. I love to read genre fiction, watch scifi and murder-mystery TV shows, and generally moan about the weather.
And yes, it's true, I love Marmite!

@daj@gofer.social haha, David, how do you know me so well? Yes, yes I have ideas.
I might go Pagecord instead of renewing Wordpress which is, at the moment, doing nothing because it's just gotten too complicated.

@daj@gofer.social Today's moral dilemma is so many of the companies that provide services are in support of a rightwing agenda, as are a number of individuals who likewise support dubious and questionable people and practises.
It's hard to keep up with all the goings on tbh.
Replying to
@lylo@mas.to When they moved to doing everything in blocks, they lost me. WP just sucks up too much time.
And I hosted WP rather than did their ad-filled version. So no, I think Pagecord might, in the end, be a better fit. We'll see.

@lylo@mas.to Ooo, now I am really tempted to move my blogs here. Will have to check more about how to and when.
Replying to
@lylo@mas.to Oh, now we're talking. Multiple blogs is a huge selling point, especially for me.
What's the price point?
Replying to
@daj@gofer.social I guess we can only do so much to mitigate all the shit, each in our own way.
Replying to
@ctt@social.lol Aren't we all our own worst enemy? We put way too much pressure on ourselves we really don't need to give ourselves more hassle rather be less judgemental.
Replying to
@bstn@social.lol @lylo@mas.to Exactly. WP somehow sucks up a lot of attention. And besides, the Hosting company is charging way too much for a single blog with too many bells and whistles I will never use.
Time to leave.

@lylo@mas.to Oh, the import feature could be very useful, thanks. Now I just need to cogitate a little.
Replying to
@goodenough@mastodon.world You just keep on giving and making my day. I may need a 3rd blog at this rate. 😆

@hollie@social.coop Like Sara says, you have to stand up for yourself and make your voice heard and hopefully, know the facts before you see a doctor. But for those of us trying to figure out what's wrong, we're left struggling to make sense of what's happening.
Replying to
@sarajw@front-end.social Sad to say. A percentage can be down to overwork, but that's no excuse for 3 years of misdiagnosis and an even shittier attitude.

Replying to
@sarajw@front-end.social It's heartbreaking because it leaves you wondering how many people die throughout the year because of dumb doctors and a broken system?
@hollie@social.coop
Replying to
@sarajw@front-end.social Nothing for you to be sorry for, Sara. I really don't know what's wrong with the medical profession but it seems to be riddled with some really bad doctors.

@hollie@social.coop This happened to me. Three years trying to get doctors to listen to me, only to be told a) it was all in my head b) I was attention seeking, when, in fact, I had colon cancer.

@jimfrost@mastodon.scot Wow. These are breath-taking, majestic and beautiful, never mind awe-inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Replying to
@jimfrost@mastodon.scot I am in awe of your photos and always look forward to seeing them in my feed.
So thank you for sharing.
Replying to
@ctt@social.lol You sound like you're being a little hard on yourself. Truly, were these thoughts so important as to need immediate attention while you're in the midst of a terrible prolonged migraine?
I doubt anything is that important as to necessitate immediate action. So, not being lazy as maybe discerning?
Replying to
@bendaubney@social.lol That sounds like you had either a touch of bronchitis or covid. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Replying to
@pcora@mastodon.social Yeah, definitely short sleeve tee shirt weatherbhere today, it’s 17 but thunderstorms.

@mihobu@social.lol @neatnik@social.lol haha, he has you lined up as an agitator for sure! 😝
Replying to
@mihobu@social.lol @neatnik@social.lol Haha, I was pulling your leg, teasing. Adam runs a tight ship and keeps us all on an even keel. Just so happy that there's someone blocking all the slop out there.

@mattrambles@t00t.cloud Who needs a destination, it's fun going on the crazy ass journey. Sword or no sword. Anyway, my epee is in lockup.
Replying to
@bendaubney@social.lol Which explains why you're on your X number of trips. For me it's all about the service and inclusivity. So I guess the chance to get a better cabin takes on a whole other meaning.

Replying to
@bendaubney@social.lol So the answer is, don't go cruising with VV as they seem preoccupied with making as much revenue as possible. What about the actual cruise experience?
Anyway, wouldn't be me, I don't cruise. Not unless it's the sidewalk.
Replying to
@macpsych@social.lol There was a service announcement about a planned upgrade for today.
Replying to
@bendaubney@social.lol I like the sound of the weekend walks. I might have to steal that idea.
