I try to CW my talk about politics, my posts about recovery from my eating disorder, and anything else heavy about mental illness, weight or body shape, or exercise. I appreciate it when other folks do the same. If you need a CW from me, please ask!
I try to do media descriptions and usually only boost posts without them if there's a reply post with a description; I'll write one if I have spoons.
My dog is named Izzy and I love her so very much. She's a black Great Dane.
#intro I'm Stel when I'm online. I use she/her pronouns for myself but it's cool if you use they/them for me.
St Paulite who has lived in and loved Minneapolis but is back on this side of the river.
I want to do all of the things but rarely have the energy to do any of them.
Note: I am kind of bitter about being unable to make my software dev career work so if you post a lot of techspeak, I may mute you for a bit. Nothing personal, I just don't want to see reminders of that all the time.
Got some Izzy love last night. #MastoDogs #GreatDaneLife
(bonus: chair cover is plaid flannel, lap blanket is a different plaid flannel, my vest is a different plaid flannel)
Eye contact and a really big dog
I don't usually approve follow requests from accounts that haven't interacted with me. Take a little time to read some of my posts and maybe drop me a note. I never approve requests from accounts without bios and/or intro posts.
I don't always follow back right away. The likelihood that I'll request to follow someone goes up over time as I get a better sense of who you are.
My little sister has a coworker coming into town for a conference so my sister asked me for things for them to do around town and
I don't know
I don't go anywhere
and I never did
even before lockdown
(my sister's other friend who lives here came up with a great list so it's fine, the visitor will have plenty to do)
Remember to drink water!
Staying hydrated is an important and fairly easy way to take care of yourself.
Non-protesting in the time of covid; financial privilege
Instead of standing outside with a crowd of sad and angry people and feeling that at least there are many other wonderful people in this world who are sad and angry with us, our household is staying away from that covid risk and instead writing a check to Planned Parenthood.
Less cathartic but definitely useful.
This brings content warnings to mind: metaphorical surface proteins that a cell can use to gauge whether something should be allowed inside.
seeding on the solstice
a quiet few moments in the garden to capture the light on the longest day.
One of the stems of the fasciated foxgloves is right below the bird feeder.
My #GreatDane thinks she's a lap cat.
