After making a viral (for Fedi) post and meeting the biggest sea lion I've ever seen today, I was inspired to go book shopping.

@alice Let us know if you want us to report someone.

I have Rebecca's book on my list! I should move it up.

@negative12dollarbill I've already reported about half a dozen guys (and one nonbinary person) that broke server rules, and blocked a couple more (who stayed shy of rule-breaking, but were still kinda being dicks).

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@negative12dollarbill thank you though ️‍🩹

[negative12dollarbill@techhub.social]

@alice I don't know what the solution to this problem is but I hope Mastodon finds it.

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@negative12dollarbill moderated signups would go a *long* way towards fixing the problem.

@alice @negative12dollarbill I try not to despair and remind myself that it takes many generations etc etc but... aarrgghh.

@alice : Oh no, I've been offline most of today fixing people's appliances and I think I missed the viral post! Was it your cool Valentine nails?

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@pjf it was this one: https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/116071070331289961

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@pjf the nails amazingly made it all the way through Valentine's day without a chip! This marks the beginning of day 7 without chipping a nail (that's a personal best record for me).

[pjf@cloudisland.nz]

@alice : Thank you!!

@roy_calum @nigelharpur @alice
Ironically, it occurs to me that you yourself might be a sealion in this conversation. I hope not.

@alice @pjf that post was perfect. I wanted to respond but held back because I didn’t want to step on it.

@alice Men Explain Things to Me was a great read - well, listen as I have it as an audiobook. So much facepalm.

[nigelharpur@musicians.today]

@negative12dollarbill @roy_calum @alice

The Wikipedia entry really nails it

[mtor@mastodon.social]

@alice May I interest you in “All In Her Head” by Elizabeth Comen? It’s a great read
