In My Latest Round Of Mastodon Advice, I List Some Of My Favorite Accounts To Follow.

So long for now, Twitter

Apparently Musk is allowing Trump back on Twitter... which was my final straw for what I was willing to tolerate, even after Musk's chaos. Thus, for now, I'm signing off of Twitter, and will try to use Tumblr (as well as Mastodon, Instagram, and my blog) more. Granted, Twitter's immediate future might make pulling out moot (I expect downtime due to the World Cup, on top of any bugs/security breaches/other problems), but still...

As for Tumblr, I figure I'd use this page to A) catch anyone who isn't using any other services, B) as a makeshift stand-in for a Facebook page, and C) to post links to my blog. I'm not sure I quite fit into Tumblr culture, though. Still, we'll see how here works out. Wish me luck!

Recommended streaming services for cartoons (2022 edition) | Diverse Tech Geek

My look at recommended streaming services for cartoons for 2022, from Disney+ for families to Crunchyroll for anime fans.

I wrote this since most articles about streaming services treat animation as an afterthought, beyond a generic recommendation to “get Disney+ for kids” or an off-handed mention of “Harley Quinn” or ”Rick and Morty.” Hopefully, this helps animation fans?
