"A Bike Ride Through A Car Free Brussels (+channel updates)", 7m:21s, by Silvarret

Brussels has "Car Free Sunday" on September 16th, an annual event to promote public #transit (free for the day!), bicycling/walking, and enjoying life a little slower. Text details: https://www.brussels.be/mobility-week-and-car-free-sunday-2018

Given your car culture remarks, @Azure , this seems like something you might be interested in.

Finally got around to making an introduction post (hope I didn't mess it up), updating my profile (did you know the bio can now be 500 characters?), redoing the header image (did you know it can now be 1500×500 pixels?) and the avatar (did you know that can now be 400×400 pixels?)…

Only took me over a year of being here 🙃​

@derpcorgi …due to dark backgrounds, I didn't notice your avatar was in a sushi roll until I saw the Firefox notification. Neat!

*politely licks your status* ​😋​

It's getting harder to stay on top of the vulpine.club local timeline with all the active foxes and friends of fuzzy fellows here - which isn't a bad thing at all, I'm just realizing that I'm probably gonna miss a lot of new folks ^^';

Hello, welcome everyone!

(Also amused at random recent topics, e.g. maybe I should eventually post my paws 🐾…)

For a long time, I wanted to be special.

Then people started calling me special. It wasn't how I thought it'd be.

Now I just want to be normal.

(Redrafted since it seemed at risk of misunderstanding.)

Initially, I was disappointed at no text #search on Mastodon. If I found a toot I'd want to return to, I'd have to fav it and hunt, copy the URL, or save it in my feed reader.

But the anti-abuse arguments made sense. Then Mastodon added search for toots you've interacted with and I was happy.

...then, out of curiosity, I tried Twitter's search. What? Twitter lets you find all mentions of an account even if it's private? Geez, this is awful.

"Vechs Beats Megaman X (Twitch Livestream)" at 1h35m57s

> [Robot fish inhales X, Vechs breaks out, inhaled by new fish]
> "Wonder what happens if I just sit in this thing. What are you going to do with me?" [Pause] "Nothing. Okay."
> [Breaks out, gets hurt from new fish] "So, here's a question: touching them from the outside hurts me, but from the inside..? It's no big deal."

Sounds about right for #vore logic >.>

For the conflict to seemingly have arisen out of said person genuinely attempting to be supportive to me doesn't really help. If I had just said 'no' and not tried to accept what they offered…

I'll be okay, don't worry. Just the usual of feeling a bit sick to the stomach. And instead of holding it in as I usually do, tried putting it in a semi-hidden corner of the web.

Seeing someone you were rather close to be noticeably happier when you're not around is still a weird feeling.

I hope to do better at relationships in the future so this doesn't happen again. Trying to recover from this once is hard enough.

"If there's anything Android users want, it's more white UI elements. Oh, is that not what you meant with your repeated calls for a dark mode? Google thought you were being sarcastic. As such, it has launched another redesigned app with an all-white Material interface. Get ready for Contacts 3.0 to sear your retinas."

(I don't like being sarcastic to people, but corporations are not the same.)

…can I have this for real life struggles?

"Landscape - Stereo Field", 8m:10s, a capacitive touch stereo synthesizer/processor/chaotic "CV controller".

⚠️ Loud, glitchy, unforgivingly harsh. Headphone users beware! (…or enjoy?) #music #glitch #nsfj

This feels like the sort of musical instrument @Azure might have…

"Burnout & Overworking Yourself", 8m:39s, by Jaiden Animations. I feel called out (in a good way).

If you don't have time to watch.. consider watching soon! But in essence: "It's okay to take personal time for yourself! /Don't work your life away!/ […] /ENJOY YOURSELF!/"
