How do you spend your digital free time in a relatively private way?

I in particular quite like the Pepper & Carrot webcomic from @davidrevoy . Its been entertaining seeing how it goes. Amazing work! I could only dream to have the commitment to get to that level.

Some amazing FOSS games are out there too, Super Tux Kart and Endless Sky being the most notable. They're great!

Tried reading Gutenberg but it bores me on a webpage

How do /you/ spend your free time?

#thursday #goodmorning #joinin

The folks of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation are in real trouble. We can help.

Friends Of Pine Ridge and First Families Now are providing supplies and heating to the affected families.

If you can afford it, you can donate here:
https://www.1stfamiliesnow.org/donate

And for everyone who boosts this post, I'll add another dollar to my next donation. So, uh, go wild.

This year:
Nobody freezes.
Nobody starves.
Nobody goes it alone.

#JoinIn

If you are feeling lonely or left out today, the #JoinIn tag will link you to folks to talk to or to just make you feel included. You are important!

Reminder that if you're feeling lonely today, see this hashtag:

➡️ #JoinIn

There are lots of people (myself included) keeping each other company on there, with all kinds of posts from hot chocolate recipes to historical photos to horses covered in tinsel to just general thoughts and chatter.

You can use the hashtag however you want, serious or fun, and anyone using the tag is welcoming of replies and discussion so it's a great way of striking up a conversation.

See you there! ☃️

I write Be Here Now (or something similar) on my hand for meetings “at work” (I wah) and when my guy gets home from work. Helps when I am dealing with anxiety in either case. I actually live in a state of anxiety r/t my atypical bipolar. I also write “shut up” on a post it and put it on my tablet bc I often talk too much in meetings (mostly when crickets are chirping). Anyway - the “be here now” thing helps me refocus on what’s important in the moment. #JoinIn

Are you feeling lonely during the festive season? Have you tried the hashtag #JoinIn?

It works like this:

- During Xmas period, or any time, write about what you're doing and include the tag #JoinIn. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate or impressive!

- Search for (or follow) the tag #JoinIn, reply to other people's posts with that tag.

I know it sounds kind of simple, but it's worth trying!

I'm going to be on my own this year due to ongoing pandemic, but will see you at #JoinIn ☕

Something quite serious now.

For the past 2 years on the birdsite, I've enjoyed being part of Sarah Millican's #JoinIn - there for anyone on their own over the festive season who would like to join in a group chat to help pass the day.

We've had some great times, and I'm planning to support it here too this year.

If you're lonely, just post #JoinIn so we can spot you, or search for the #JoinIn hashtag, and just join in!

Good idea? Give it a BOOST!
