I have a new mastodon account for my professional life in identity management. The only reason i bothered is because i wandered into it after reading a newsletter and wandering into details.... Under the weather mental meandering. I chose
https://federate.social/about (and my usual public name handle). This server seems maybe a little on the more moderated side than i would want for a personal account, but for my professional account it's OK.
On the other hand, i think slack instances for tech have been working for me. The channels for a topic are more agreeable to my wandering about.

I understand that most children don't want to think about their parents as sexual beings, probably a useful taboo. My sister gets very distressed with my Dad's giddiness around his dating. Both of them are still grieving more than i. (I think i could probably get worked up about feeling guilty i'm not grieving? I dunno.)
While i am not emotionally reactive to my Dad's dating, it sure isn't something i really "get". He's such an extrovert and i would like to hide under a rock, thank you. I *feel* judgemental and eye-roll-y but i'm not sure why. He's not aware how big a rebound he's on? He's not particularly reflective while wanting to talk talk talk?
I will confess a certain wicked pleasure in hearing of him dragged out of his comfort zone to a nice restaurant, and sad that instead of him stretching, he's pondering whether the person has too expensive taste for him.

Network issues that appear correlated with calls coming in to our call screening machine (at least twice on Wednesday.)
Broken blinds beside desk & me in the dark for a day and a half.
