before you make any sort of over-wrought discourse post you should have to go outside and read it out loud to three regular people and watch their face while you do it

Sometimes I tell my mum about stuff happening on Bluesky and she looks at me as though I've strolled in from another planet with a family of owls on my head.
*I tell my mother that people on the internet are yelling at each other about groceries. An owl hoots softly from somewhere near my left ear. My mother worries about my sanity.*
every now and then if i think i might want to get wound up online, i remember my coworker who doesn't even have a smart phone because he doesn't want to deal with them, and i imagine myself trying to explain it to him and how stupid i'd feel.
As someone who spent many many years there: Absolutely not. I finally stopped using it for good because during Euro 2020 the entirety of /sp/ was nothing but racist 'jokes' — and that's *if* they bothered with the pretense of joking.
It isn't, I still use it, but the place is ridiculously racist. As an Indian, it makes me both mad and I find it funny how Indians have turned into their biggest target and apparently, we are responsible for literally everything.
like honestly go tell your coworker or a girl at the club that you think people shouldn't help each other at the grocery store and that friends shouldn't pick up words from each other's languages and see what she says
a friend and I hung out with her cousin around, several times at one point. my Spanglish is serviceable, but not great.
she never called him by name in front of me, or introduced us, so I didn't realize that when she called him "primo" she was calling him "cousin", and that wasn't his name

It's entertaining, but also reminds me that Bluesky isn't "real life".

They're out there for a reason.

it was funny! and no one's feelings were hurt
picking up language from each other is literally how humans and language works!
