My husband isn't on Lemmy, lol. I was just pointing out that my house has a similar light dynamic as this guy's. And that sometimes it's the wife with the light sensitivity. And yes, I know I'm weird for it compared to other people. :)

I love barred owls, we have them in our neighborhood and can hear them at night. We've also had the experience of finding one closer than expected, and it is magical.

I'm the wife and I'm like you. I will stand in the dark and wait for my eyes to adjust rather than turn on a light.

We have fairy lights and red LED string lights for the high traffic areas to dissuade hubby from flipping on the overhead.

Low light motion sensor nightlights for a couple spots so that we don't step on a cat on the way to the bathroom.

The kitchen lights are dimmable, so we can go bright when needed to cook, and dim if just searching for a snack.

I love it. He has given in and adjusted. I find it calm and cozy.

Love this! Did you start out on the Fediverse or did you start on another and then move to your own?

I ask because I've been considering hosting my own for the family. I already have a server.

The thing holding me back is I've gotten my Mastodon and Lemmy accounts really nice with content and it's daunting to think of moving/remaking accounts.

In my city/county, you get a free card if you can prove you live here (show something with your address) Our system will also do fundraisers to supplement the budget from taxes. We almost lost some libraries a gew years ago, but voters remade the local government and they are safer now.

It would be hilarious if your link was a rickroll.

The "View Source" option is also on Jerboa mobile app, but I had forgotten about it.

I wish I had a clever Linux joke response.

But, no joke, what is it like to ride one? I imagine them somewhere between smooth comfort and speed demons.

She is an incredibly prolific songwriter for other people as well. There's a decent chance you like a song she wrote that is performed by someone else - if that makes you feel any better about your sacrilege (smiley face emoji)

I heard her tell a story about how she entered a Dolly Parton drag competition on a whim. She was delighted that she lost!

As I was reading, I had to check that this wasn't The Onion writers, the tone is so spot on.

Is this from a satire site I don't know about?
