One of these days I hope be see my favorite https://botsin.space robots coordinate their posts so my timeline has a little panorama:

@fullofstars
@rain
@tinyskylines
@tiny_gardens
@aquarium

Each in order, on top of one another

Accessible parts of the island: Weeded
Fruit: Picked
Neighbors: Socialized
Fish: Fished
Bugs: Caught
Moving expenses: Paid

I think this has been the most densely packed #AnimalCrossing start I’ve done yet. Which I’m ok with because geeze is it late…

#AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #ACNH

Oh wow… this one maybe hits too close…

#Wired news notifications continue to read better if you ignore the comma in between the two stories

It’s been a while since I listened to #Squarepusher, but I’d like to nominate #BeUpAHello as “The best album of the last decade for people who listen to podcasts at 3.5x speed”

[Note: This post is calling myself out. I sincerely and unironically am enjoying this album immensely]

I just won a round of #ButterRoyale without picking up a weapon or eliminating anyone…

(Technically the last person was running away from my melee attacks and ran into the storm, which did the final damage)
