I'm trying to ween myself off the metaverse, and this is like the fourth time I've tried to use Mastodon since COVID-19 began. I like the *idea* of open-source social media but the UI is never as pretty, IMHO.

I like how quiet it is on here compared to FB and IG. But it's also a bit...too quiet on my timeline.

I live in #Ottawa, and I like #chess, trying different #pizza recipies, I geek out over #coffee and #fountainpens. I used to have a podcast and wouldn't mind getting back into it.
