@glyph So much YES to this, a mere RT did not do it justice. So:
Yes. Yes. Yes.

@glyph Shame should be rooted out of society like it's a disease, too many people go silent about their passions when we should be dancing and celebrating our immense capacity for understanding & creativity
@ctwebb I agree with the sentiment, but the problem with phrasing this as 'shame' is that there a great many people who ought to be *far* more ashamed than they are, but about real harm they're doing, and a lot of them are like, in charge of the country. But "shame" over inconsequential social awkwardness, over being one's true self without harming anyone else? of course that should be eradicated.

@glyph Indeed. I love it when people treat mastodon as their personal notebook where they jot down short ideas, note what happened to themselves, or write about their plans or memories. In a way, it extends my life by their experiences.

@glyph Five days with no donations—not even a little…
All I’m asking for is help for my children during these harsh and painful times. They are facing hunger, and I just want to fill their empty stomachs. Please consider donating, even a small amount, and share this post. Your kindness can make a real difference in their lives.

It's definitely one of the best features.

That’s my second-favourite thing here. My favourite are the comments underneath from other people breaking down the parts that required context most readers were missing, which let me understand the original post.

@glyph
I love it.
Love to learn new things; admire the knowledge and abilities even if I barely understand the toots.
I follow some mathmos, and I'm so happy that someone understands that stuff, but it ain't me. Looks decorative, though.
As for the toots of makerfolk and crafters - oh joyous delight! -
