Lol.

Get home from a work trip and go into a deep introvert-recharge cycle. Lots of sleep. Solo hobbies and comfort foods. The most socializing I will do is asynchronous texting with two particular people, everyone else is getting ignored for a couple days.

I think the community I miss on reddit is less and less feasible these days with anything and everything being scraped for privacy-violating databases.

I really enjoyed the small backpacking subs where people would post trip reports and photos of their campsites. Bonus if their adventure dog was also in the photo. They were very much a mix of humble-brag but also-the-world-is-awesome-celebrate-with-me positivity. There’s less of that here on Lemmy. And I can’t even be critical because I also stopped posting such things as much, I am way more cognizant of posting any photo, even if I’m not in frame, that could be used to identify me or be a data input to anyone’s file on me.

I used the word poesy in a written assignment, as in the art of poetry. The teacher didn’t recognize it as a real word and deducted points from my grade. She had a policy that we could correct and resubmit for half points, so I did that but didn’t change the word, I just helpfully gave her the definition in a footnote.

Shocked, naive, innocent little me did not know what to think when she took that as an insult. I was only trying to help her, didn’t she get that?!?

This was one of a handful of events when my sister started implying I might have a neurospicy brain. IDK, maybe, but I was just being accurate so I didn’t really see that as anything I needes to address. I thought the overly-sensitive and factually incorrect teacher was the one who needed to self-reflect.
