My late cat Dinah had the full name: Dinahsaurus Dinah the Dinahnator, but we often called her a list of other names. Dinahsaur was her favorite.

Now I have Ryuji aka chicken nugget, nuggie, tiny tiger

Yusuke aka Void Boy, Boy, Mr. Yusker

Yonah aka Yoyo, Demon, Evil One, Brat Cat, Yoner

Kimchi aka Kimmers, Kimmy, Kims, Kimcher

I was on Reddit for over 10 years, but I had less than 10 posts. There were many times I’d miss that it was image only day, or my post would be grouped into some category that wasn’t allowed, even though I never thought it would fit that category. I have social anxiety so when my post wouldn’t make it through, I’d feel like an idiot for not understanding the rules.

I developed this habit where I type out a post and then never submit it. I’ve been trying to break the habit for a few years now. Lemmy needs more activity, so I at least try to comment every once in a while to add conversation. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to make my own posts again.
