@[email protected] I was never really into social media (and maybe this was subconscious) but I joined Mastodon after realising it was an anagram of “Not so mad.” It felt like the total opposite of Twitter!
(Nice pic by the way.)Public masking! ♥️
@[email protected] This is like the most fediverse post ever. It’s got an actual mastodon, someone who still masks (not a lot of us do, but probably more on the fediverse than anywhere else), beautifully framed photo, whimsical, and great alt text.
10/10 no notes. (Other than all the notes I just made)
And the behemoth spoke, delivering a message forwarded from beyond the tar pits: “Child, hear my words. Do not become a giant! Do not try to dominate! My kind are long dead. Remain as small, agile groups, free to roam and mix at will — a federation, if you will, not a megafauna. Move fast and adapt! Heed my warning or perish!”
(Also, I love the tar pits!)
@[email protected] awww!!! :blobaww:
@[email protected] My old feet met some younger feet?
@[email protected] I’ve been trying to make sense of this joke for days, please explain it to me :google_emoji_kitchen_blob_and_loudly_crying_face_mashup:
@[email protected] Her feet are turned toward the camera/viewer, making the image not about the mastodons, or her, but about the gaze, about who exists in this moment for whom.
This one’s short, and very enlightening, and old standby in college art classes: https://archive.org/details/WaysOfSeeingByJohnBerger
But lord knows you don’t need to read a whole book to try to understand a snarky comment… that really should have been somehow directed at the Asian girl ads I’ve been getting on YouTube lately.
