“I’ll be careful.”
A friend once pointed out to me that if you have to tell yourself this, you should stop whatever you’re doing (e.g. pouring bleach while wearing your best shirt) and reevaluate.

I experienced the same frustrations with our Walgreens, and thought that was as bad as it could get. Then my health insurance plan mandated that we all stop using in-person pharmacies and switch to this stupid mail delivery system. You know what’s worse than having to wait for Walgreens to open so you can talk to a pharmacist? Sitting on hold hoping to talk to the one anonymous random pharmacist Optum has on staff. Want to transfer a prescription? Having trouble with a particular manufacturer or generic? Good luck.
TIL Mastodon has a CEO.
Get yourself a good app & it can give you recommendations. Personally, I’m using IceCubes & really like it.
Also, look up the FollowFriday hashtag to see who others recommend. Cory Doctorow is there, so are Jeff Jarvis & Amanda Marcotte.
The Walgreens in my town has started closing their pharmacy early because they don’t have enough staff to run it.
He looks like a wise old cat.
There are a couple small subreddits I’m part of that are lifelines, close communities for people who need a space to share information & be themselves. I’ve checked in on them once during the past month & they’re still holding together. The mods are staying because those small groups of users need them & don’t have another place to go. I expect once the Fediverse spawns more highly specialized niche communities, they’ll drift over.
Never, ever trust the backup.
