It’s nice that she’s on board with both of those answers 🥰

LOL, when I was a kid Halloween was the good food holiday!

If my inner voice wasn’t a drill instructor, I’d never get anything done.

Agreed. Technology Connections is one of my favorite channels – it’s always a good day when Alec posts a new video. I wish people would treat him better, he certainly deserves it.

When you compare Alec’s recent videos with his early ones, it’s pretty clear that the negativity he receives has been wearing him down. Like many YouTubers, even when he’s sharing information about something he loves, he’s very bitter and sarcastic about it. Like, half of each video is trying to pre-argue with his trolls.

I understand why popular content creators have to set boundaries because it seems like a pretty soul-destroying job to have. If Bluesky helps him do that, more power to him. But for a nobody like me, I prefer Mastodon, largely because I’ve made friends with people on my local instance, and interacting with other servers is merely a bonus feature.

“Where was Gondorhealth when the deductibles rose?”

“I don’t know what you mean. It was the orcs that did it. Those ones with the gold spilling out of their pockets.”

It’s a lot weirder than it used to be. Not Heathcliff weird, but there’s fewer jokes about golf than in the old days, that’s for sure.

“Not all the birds cats are to be trusted”

A pin board and a lot of red thread helps too.

“A screaming comes across the sky…”

Oh yeah, this is gonna be good!

“bananas […] bananas […] bananas […] bananas […]”

WTF?

Could be dangerous. Better bring along The Luggage.

A bog? Alright – cranberries and garter snakes!

“The lunatic is on the… uh, moon…”

“What we need is more humidity!” vs “Humidity must be destroyed”

The best hats are raw and wriggling!

I’m sorry to hear about the rudeness :(

It’s good to see you on Mastodon though! (And congrats on your book! It’s super good!)

I haven’t seen her on Lemmy lately, but she’s pretty active on Mastodon: @exocomics@mastodon.world
