I think an animated version of this bird to share in posts would be hilarious, even if it wasn't the logo. Every platform has its fun inside jokes and art can be used for more than logos and platform icons.

A quick google search has often brought up forums or articles that touch on whatever it is I'm trying to find an answer to. Many of these offer great suggestions, even if none of them become my primary.

https://wavyhaircare.com/ is a nice resource for some articles on wavy/curly hair. That's just off the top of my head.

I think I had very unrealistic expectations about what I should be able to achieve without product. I was pretty averse to putting anything in my hair at all early on, but I've realized that for certain desired results it's the most reliable solution.

I also wish someone told me early on that it was okay to lean into the way my hair settles between wash days. Right after washing it has the tightest pattern and it relaxes slightly, though not fully, over the following days.

As soon as I realized it was okay to just let it do that, I found it was much easier to manage in a way that actually looks nice consistently, but not necessarily exactly the same each day.

In some places your disconnected cellphone can still be used to call emergency services, which can make them good for the car, workshops, etc.

Honestly, I have found Kbin to be a really solid experience. I think it pulls off a lot. so when I say I'm always happy for things to improve, I really just mean I'm happy for them to grow into themselves. :)

I actually think that for those who wish to migrate, or even just diversify, a slow migration through awareness building is ideal. A lot of forums that people rely on won't easily be built up overnight. Not to mention the strain of so many people moving over to new platforms at once.

I remember reading about the various challenges that came about when the Twitter meltdown began. Everything from emergency announcements to disability advocacy and support wound up being impacted.

We still don't know what the future of Reddit is. Whether things up wind up resolving for better or worse with the platform (and tbh I hope it's better for the many people who still love it and have found an online home there), establishing an awareness of alternatives is great. It means people will know they have somewhere to go if the ship goes down.

I feel like with Twitter it was a lot harder for people to find that and many are still looking.

@curlygirl
Love this!

I'm still learning the ropes. I agree a lot works well, but I'm always happy for things to become easier and more accessible. I love the idea that as people find their different niches across platforms and servers that work well for them, it's still possible to maintain that connectivity.

@tauonite
I'm liking it a lot! Love that we can shout over the fence to our neighbors. :)

@ciliabravo

I have the same vibe! I was hoping for another season, but after this episode it feels like we're nearing the series conclusion. What a ride, though!

Pokemon Legends Arceus (for the billionth time) and possibly Etrian Odyssey III (which I've never actually played).

Am I the only one who just didn't get excited about TOTK?

I wanted to be excited for it. The artwork is beautiful, but watching the early stages of a play-through just left me feeling less invested than I would have expected.

I'm sure I'll play it eventually, and just because I've said all this, I will find that I love it.

It's so good.

Mob Psycho 100
This one is still fairly recent, but it's just so good. It's kind of like Dragon Ball Z meets sweet slice of life anime? The Reigen Manga that followed was also amazing!

Revolutionary Girl Utena
This one is straight up a classic and it's been on my list for years, despite knowing relatively little about it. It's notoriously thick and heavy on the symbolism. I can see why it was so popular for its time. I don't know that it's a favorite, but I feel like I'll spend the rest of my life unpacking all of it.

The original Yugioh anime.
I'm cheating a little bit because I finished this one slightly less recently than the others, but also I love it and this thread is making me consider if a rewatch is in order soon. Probably after MP100, because I'm still not over that one.

@Shortcake Kaguya-sama is so worth it.

Spy x Family is another amazing one.

@Shortcake I'm obsessed with Mob Psycho 100, but for other comedies...

Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War is hilarious and so is Bocchi the Rock. They're both more in the slice of life category, but the relationships between characters are front and center in a way that is less slapstick and more personal? I guess. KSLW especially is just...hilarious, even if you're not in it for the love story.
