[#]Listening to Daisy the Great and dang, I wish I'd stumbled across them years ago. So good! You may know their 'Record Player' song, but there's so much more. Faves: IDKW and Woods.

i'm SO effin' tired of customs charges that are unjustified. Just had to refuse a package because would have had to pay nearly 15 USD in customs fees for something that has virtually no value (other than sentimental). The bulk of the fee is a flat fee for customs getting involved in the first place, which is ... questionable. And the rest is unjustified. Still, I'm sad now, because. #actuallyautistic #fairness #customs

Seasonal depression is hitting me hard this year. On my search for a musical pick-me-up, I stumbled across Pearl & The Oysters, - a deliciously weird, slightly trippy sound. Check them out: https://pearlandtheoysters.bandcamp.com Favorite tracks so far: Side Quest (Planet Pearl), Soft Science / Flowerland (Flowerland). #music

What music cheers you up? Suggestions always welcome!

Question for you, dear #fediverse -- it's almost time to get myself a new cell phone. Is there a more sustainable option, an affordable phone that can be repaired fairly easily?

I'd be using it for messaging, email, and a few small games. Camera would be nice.

Just started watching this Australian series, The Messenger, and ... it's my kind of storytelling. Odd and quiet and still intense. #themessenger #amwatching #storytelling

Hi there @bookstodon , I just finished "Klara and the Sun" this morning and wow, this book will be living in my head for a while. So good. Elegantly plain language, a memorable narrator, and so much emotional complexity - #recommendedread #booklove #leseratte #bücherwurm #librophile

What are you reading?

Hey @writingcommunity - anyone else having a lot of trouble with #submittable? I keep getting error messages from #cloudflare so cannot log on to send out work - even when I'm logged into my own account on another tab?! (frustratingly, no way to submit from that other tab) Any workaround? #techproblems

Doing a little research-reading (which I love) for a project - "Her Read" and "How to Tell if you are Human" and "A Humument". Yay books! Any recommendations that would fit with these? @bookstodon #booklove #amreading

and yes, you can get a paid subscription to avoid your photos being used (supposedly), but my point is that there should be a way to just delete the account without having to agree to their new ToS, which are the reason I want to delete the account. Sheesh.

... I haven't used the account in ages, as in decades, and was frankly surprised they never deleted it. I guess now we know why.

so... Photobucket is going to sell / use user content, including biometrics etc, and if you want to delete your account you have first AGREE to the new ToS to sign in. Wtf. The contact form / support request form may or may not be broken, so yeah.

Hi there, @bookstodon , what are you reading these days? I'm half-way through Normal Rules don't Apply, Kate Atkinson, and it's really good! (a collection of interconnected short stories) Deliciously ominous, with unexplained deaths and weird job interview / date questions. "If you were a (sandwich / vegetable / disease), which would you be?" #amreading #bookstodon #shortfiction #stories
