A good way to find people to follow (absolutely key here because there's no default algorithm) is search for a keyword (storms, art etc) and then just check out the follower lists of people who are posting and follow them.

They'll probably follow you back and then you're on your way.
If I had a $5 bill for every time I sneezed this evening, next month's rent would be halfway paid.

Honestly! Good grief. 🤧😖🙄

Why is it that the fucking pups always seem to wait until around midnight to get the zoomies? The sound of claws all over all the floors at warp speed is driving me nuts!!!

Looking to replace my 8 yo MacBook Air as it's slowly grinding to a halt (will keep it as a home / leisure laptop)

Air or Pro? M4/ M5 chip? Work involves video calls, photo editing, CAD work, 3D modelling

Any advice welcome

Question for those in #healthcare, #physiotherapy #acupuncture, #kinesiology, #OccupationalTherapy, #homeopathy, etc...

What do you recommend for #pain management when it comes to supraspinatus/subspinatus #tendinopathy and ulnar #neuritis? It's pretty unbearable at times!

Thanks in advance!

We could overthink meaningless questions such as, "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?" and "Do you suck them very slowly or crunch them very fast?"

What'd be the point? Would it be time well spent in light of more serious questions that merit our undivided attention?

My nurse and dietitian advised me to look into probiotics and to increase my protein, dairy, and fruit/veggie consumption.

So, naturally, I'm making myself a banana smoothie using high-protein Greek yogurt and a scoop of low-fat ice cream.

I mean, what am I *expected* to do??? 😉

Teehee!

What do you do when you have 5 eggs, milk that's close to the best before date, a big block of cheddar cheese, AND you've used the broccoli florets but don't want to waste the stalks?

You make quiche—and add crumbled bacon!

Oh, what the hell. Why not condemn another generation to congenital rubella syndrome, too, while we're at it?

But, I mean, as one who has CRS, what the hell do *I* know, right???

That "beedle-eep beep bop beep boop" Ozempic jingle drives me nucking futs.

Likely because it reminds me too much of the Tangerine Tyrant's unhinged "beep beep boop bing bing bong" word salad.

What the ever-loving fuck is with the influx if catfish accounts of late? Take that next-level brand of assholery elsewhere, thanks.

I ventured outside today because I had to attend an appointment, so, NATURALLY, that means I'm under the covers, wearing my heaviest sweater, thermal socks, and my jeans, with the thermostat at 26°C /79°F, and STILL feeling cold AF.

Oh, sure. #Raynauds is fucking fabulous!

36 years ago, 14 bright and talented women were murdered at #ÉcolePolytechnique in #Montréal in a horrifying act of misogynist #violence.

Today, we honour their memory and commit to fight for #equality, dignity and safety for women across the country and around the globe.

A splint for cubital tunnel syndrome right before the holidays (for use over what's likely the next 4–6 months) wasn't exactly the gift I had in mind...
