  1. My first joke in this thread went over like a Led Zeppelin, so let's try Take Two:
    @TheBreadmonkey, @LoganFive, and @adhdeanasl walk in to a bar owned by @Alice .
    She tells them," I just watched "It's a Wonderful Life," last night and I don't need any characters in my bar, and she throws them out.
    Now finish the joke.
    (PS: My mom went to school with the actor who played Nick the bartender in the film.)

  2. I will try to post more #FANuary peeps if I have time today, but one more before I go: @LoganFive.

    I feel like I'm getting very repetitive with the others above, but: you're funny, you're a positive presence in my timeline, and I'm proud to have you in my mutuals.

  3. @Aphelion : You're right. There's a poem at the end below if you click "Read more" and scroll down.

    Others: No, the poem isn't AI. Nor is the illustration. It's getting old to be asked that repeatedly. The poem was composed a decade ago in a text message debate about how to respond to an abuse situation. It was extemporaneous and simply typed out in seconds.

    I'm an autistic who happens to be able to do that regardless of #autism. An objective friend told me that my circuits had been scrambled in the situation that the poem alludes to. Anyway, the rhymes simply started in 2012. Aphelion : Now you know a bit of the history behind my doggerel.

    @LoganFive : I understand that the poll is intended to be tongue in cheek or light in tone. However, you've touched on a topic that could help victims of #abuse and other crimes if it's explored a little. I hope that you won't mind if I do so.

    I'm unable to select just one option from the survey list because the most productive path varies. This said, it isn't solely to meditate or to seek therapy or to pray or other steps which set aside the falsehoods that somebody has told and the damage that they've done.

    In my case, not damage just to me personally. In the past 1.5 decades I've stumbled into situations where what's happened to me happens to others as well. I believe that steps need to be taken in situations that affect the general public.

    But some of the alternatives listed in the survey might be seen as ill-mannered. They will certainly get one talked about, but I no longer care about that. The correct answer, I think, is to address situations on a case by case basis.

    If somebody is simply mentally ill or different and poor conduct isn't willful, one should proceed in a positive spirit. This shouldn't be somebody that one feels the need to hate. I've succeeded in the "friends" approach multiple times in this context.

    If somebody is an attorney, and one digs a bit, it sometimes turns out that they're trading sexual favors for legal services. Or they're not properly licensed. Or they've assumed that other rules don't apply to them. I've actually managed to notch the jobs of a few attorneys. Not nearly enough, but it's a positive delight when something turns up.

    Or, if somebody lives in a small town, one can snail-mail colorful postcards to one-quarter to one-half of the residents depending on different factors. The attached illustration is from one of the postcards that I've sent myself. It's colorful enough that it was guaranteed people would read the other side. Others: No, the illustration isn't GenAI. Stop asking that.

    And one can write a book. I helped a friend in #PTSD to do that 5 years ago. The PTSD was related to abuse. If somebody expresses interest, I'll post a link to the book.

    The book was decades overdue and so was the police report that my PTSD friend ultimately made at my suggestion. But my friend felt so much better after these two steps. So, actually, add a book and a police report to the list.

    One of the most colorful people in the book, a grifter with an epic past, left us voicemail threatening us with "the police" for telling her part of the story. This has become a bit of a martial art for me. Often what one should do is turn things right around. In this instance, I posted the voicemail that the woman had left us with some notes related to her past. Boy, she shut up right quick.

    And one can write a poem. Here is one of mine. It's from my chapbook, #CoderSongs. This is part of a debate in text messages related to retaliation. Victor's position was that one can make the "choice" not to retaliate.

    Others: Once again, this isn't #LLM output. Nor is the illustration GenAI output. Please stop asking.

    It's time for CoderSongs
    Rhymes that you adore
    Doggerel that famous belongs
    Woof! Dogs bark for more!

    DO NOT THEIR CHOICES TAKE

    <OldCoder> Did you arrive safely?
    <Victor> I did
    <OldCoder> This is because you made the choice not to be attacked by bandits. It is a sensible choice.
    <Victor> I be­lieve I tried to be in moment

    1. If in the moment means float
    float is good for a boat
    but do not talk by rote

    2. The world is both us and others
    You can choose your brothers
    but choices too they must make
    even if it is in Hell to bake
    You must not from them their choices take

    3. If in the fire lake they wish to bake
    do not their choices take
    Let them choose and then awake

    4. Their choices are theirs and theirs alone
    It's time now to hang up the phone

  11. One year ago today, I made my first and only Mastodon account migration, from Dot Social to the esteemed beige.party.

    I had been considering a move for some time due to [gestures broadly at Dot Social], and the only place I ever considered was Beige. Many of my longest and most cherished met-on-Fedi mutuals were clustered there—@adhdeanasl, @Alice, @TheBreadmonkey, @the_etrain, @LoganFive, @RickiTarr, and I'm sure others I'm forgetting. And so many more who I've met since making the leap.

    There was this tight circle of funny, kind, smart people here that I admired. I got along with them, but I always felt like I was on the periphery. At the party, but not really part of the group. I wanted in.

    Well, one year later, I can say I'm still on the periphery, but now I have an @beige.party domain on my user account, too, and they don't know how to kick me out.

    Kidding! Kidding. Beige.party isn't just a place for funny people; it is, as I said above, also a digital home to kind people. Everyone gave me a very warm welcome. Almost uncomfortably warm. Made me wonder who was sitting in the welcome before they gave it to me.

    All of this is to say, it has been a hell of a year. Thanks to all of you for putting up with me and including me and just being your amazing selves. And thanks to @theropologist for making this weird little corner of the Fediverse for us. #BeigeBless :bb:

  12. My mom doesn’t feel like she can take care of her dog anymore so I guess we’re dog owners now.

    Any tips on ways to help a dog with separation anxiety?
