I really want to start blogging more, especially like… long form blogging more so than a twitter replacement. But I always feel like, what am i going to say that’s interesting to anyone? Like, especially now in the weird corona times, my life is very small, really. I’m in a small town with my small child, mostly at home all day except when we go to the park. I read books and play videogames (and sometimes make tiny ones), when I have the mental energy, and i often want to infodump about them, honestly, so there’s that. But it’s not like I’m exactly having wild adventures.

I guess i could just report whatever adorable shit my kid’s been doing that day. It’s generally pretty adorable.

Or try not to worry if anyone ever reads, and just talk. Micro.blog seems good for that.

saw some cool fungus today

Look at this good good girl

a friend i met today

why are toddlers so goddamn cute when they’re not being chaos monsters

wow i miss my kid super bad this weekend

like, every weekend they go to the co-parents’ house, this is not new, but idk i just really miss them right now

yesterday they hugged me and said “i wuv you very much” and my heart melted into a puddle.

I’m still figuring out the culture of micro.blog. Like… Is it okay to just reply to a post if I like it or have something to say? I don’t want to be the annoying asshole crashing into people’s mentions, but I do want to interact.

my daisy is open! love my tiny made-out-of-boxes garden 🌱

that means i am getting gay married in TWO MONTHS

feels surreal saying that

so after what feels like an eternity of delays with visas and red tape and pandemics my fiance is finally actually coming home from the us in two weeks

Alright, let’s try a longer post and see how those work/look?

… I always feel so selfconscious when I’m trying to start a new account or new site or whatever, which doesn’t make any fucking sense because… nobody’s reading! This should be the time I feel least selfconscious! but yeah, I don’t know, something about not feeling ~established here makes me feel like I should be trying extra super hard to be entertaining. but this certainly isn’t going to entertain anyone.

Teeny tiny baby tomatoes 🌱

kid: put food in the oven… to make it nice and clean

me: uh

some mushrooms i saw yesterday (and bonus toddler)

kid didn’t go to sleep until 1am last night, because they apparently evolved past the need for sleep

sadly, i have not, so I’m a zombie today

me: gamification doesn’t really work for me

also me: ooooh i got four pins on this site already?? that’s so cool :

oh damn there is some beautiful photography on this site <3

(site? collection of sites?)

still in the process of figuring this out and deciding if it’s for me. not sure if i wanna just stick with mastodon/write.as at the moment or try something else.
