I just finished a long and insanely stressful sensory overload appointment to deal with some government paperwork stuff, and I realized partway in that I could REALLY use something unobtrusive to stim with. Anybody have good recommendations for something small enough to slip into my purse and that wouldn't look far too awkward to use in a public environment dominated by neurotypical people? (I'm not concerned about looking a little awkward, lol, that ship sailed a long time ago)

I like to tell friends I've been busy recharging my brain cells lol

Doing a proper paint job is on the eternal to-do list graveyard, haha. Maybe one day, but nah for now they're all still the basic single colour plastic they shipped as.

And the slew of shitty underhanded tactics continues, lol. Anything to avoid actually listening to their community.

Could you share that tool? Seems useful

Advertisers are starting to take notice, it seems. Gotta keep the blackout running longer to hit em in their pocketbooks - 2 days they can weather out, indefinite dark they cannot. It's what I've been saying from the beginning, a protest with a clearly defined end date has no teeth.

Welp. Wish I could say I was surprised. Time for the handful of power mods still licking admin boots to get even more subs under their belt, I guess. No way that could possibly end badly...

Talk is cheap, I'm reserving any kind of judgement til they release results.

It's real uncomfortable, not gonna lie. I've been checking reddit daily for well over a decade now, and it's incredibly disorienting to have that suddenly not be an option anymore. I really, really hope they change their minds about pushing through these asinine API changes so I can go back to using RIF like before, but if not, I'd way rather get used to Lemmy than get used to the official Reddit app and reward them for their scummy business practices.
