trash #goblin princess. provost of the institute. aesthete, enthusiast, techie scum.
it's hard to get a vibe for whether to follow someone. i leave my stuff on public to make it easier but still feel free to follow then unfollow; no hard feelings about dipping out if my stuff isn't for you. similarly, i follow and unfollow people without thinking about it much.

if you read stuff on my website and it's more convenient to refer to me as your friend than as a person on the internet with a website you keep up with, I hereby befriend you

as the instance admin, to other instances
if you see undesirable content being federated through occult.institute to your instance please let me know and I will implement the necessary blocks. this is a 1.5 user instance so I don't typically bother blocking instances proactively but that is only because of laziness/perceived lack of impact, and I don't want it to actually impact anyone

π¬π§·: microblogging has neither the social immediacy of chat nor the considered aspect of email. while I still accept responsibility for the impact of what I write, until this crap gets an edit button, it may not ever be what I *meant*.

I had to handle shipping freight which I've never done before and was super anxious about, but I told the guy who came to pick it up "Hi, I have never done this before, do you have any advice?" and he was absolutely excited to be able to help, reminder that you don't have to know what you're doing 100% of the time and there are people who would be delighted to be the expert and share their knowledge

βWhat could the mysterious βCroatoanβ carved on the wall possibly mean,β scientists ask, ignoring the Croatoan people who practically lived next door, the artifacts found showing contemporary English artifacts commingled with arrowheads, pipes and tools, the grey eyed indigenous people in the area not two centuries later who read English, and first person accounts by people who looked for them immediately afterwards saying how relieved they were that they were safe with a local tribe

@ljwrites Dreamwidth does allow you to read others' blogs in the style you set for your own one. So it wouldn't be the same as your RSS reader settings, but you can hopefully make it readable and not have to deal with all our nonsense.
On this page, find "Entry Pages: Shown to You" and choose "my own style" from the menu there. You might want to do the same thing for "Journal Pages: Shown to You." https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/settings/?cat=display
