Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Heck yes! That's the one I wanted and now I know it's yours, I want it even more! 120
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'll pull more or less of the script in depending on the context and how invested someone seems to be (this is the tricky social cues part), but I find I'm usually giving the whole (brief) explanation and the people I'm talking to are usually interested in it. 021
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It gets them connected—most people have at least heard of TFIOS—and then when I explain that the money goes to a project to reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone, most people are pretty in favor of reducing maternal mortality and like knowing that there's work happening that's actually working. 220
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Oh yeah, avoiding babbling can be hard. I have a rough script I tend to follow: have you heard of John Green? No? Okay, have you heard of The Fault In Our Stars? Great. The author had a mustache for 30 seconds 15+ years ago, someone drew it, and now we every year we raise money for charity. 120
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I didn't get any notifications, and I made extra sure that the app was allowed to push notifications this year 😕 010
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 28/09/2026We must be talking to different people, because usually when I explain that it's an online community in-joke that raises money for charity, people are really into it. 150
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I also bought one of the cheapest new cars on the market in 2015, am still driving it in 2026, and plan to continue driving it until it is no longer a safe and reliable vehicle, which I'm expecting/hoping will be a while. Maybe even another decade! Maybe. 120
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I bought a new car because the car I wanted wasn't available used (I've since learned it was very popular with the car guys) and also because my dad was a used car salesman and had strong opinions about knowing how well a car has been maintained (which is harder when you buy used). 120

Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I selected the phrase, minus the quotes, right clicked, selected "search with Qwant" (Qwant being my default search engine) and skimmed the top couple of links. I have some idea of the context now, but I don't feel like I understand it. That's all the bandwidth I have for research right now, though. 011

Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It's dangerous to paint everyone with the same brush, and it's easy to think you know what someone should do when you're not in their shoes. 010

Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I've had to talk one of my IRL friends here in Canada down from having similar thoughts (though she was far less hateful about them, just... understandably frustrated). We're all doing the work we can from where we are. (For my part, I have also blocked that person, because wow.) 120
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I try to remember that when I respond to posts like that, I'm doing it not to change the mind of the person I'm replying to, but for the benefit of the others who aren't so set in their thoughts that might stumble across the post. 130

Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Its the Loftiness that gets me. As someone who truly never enjoyed one of the Bad Things and experienced social repercussions for Not Liking The Thing, I understand a sense of vindication. But I've never had the urge to brag about it. I'm not part of the conversation. It's not my grief to tromp on. 190
Melody of Woolves @melodyofwoolves.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Last year, a new favorite musician had a show in town the day I got back from a trip, and I was bummed I couldn't go. I just found out that show was postponed and the artist did a free pop-up show in a local park two days later. I could have gone! If I'd known! I am retroactively sad. Delayed FOMO. 031
