is anyone else finding it difficult to behave and communicate normally at this time?
@troublewithwords
i won't ask you how you are in case it makes you feel obligated to reply, but.

@troublewithwords
i bookmarked this to reply to the following day (as i saw it late) and then forgot, i'm sorry. but i hope today hasn't brought anything other than calm and comfort. and that you have snacks and beverage yourself! (how're things?)

I'll need some parameters to define 'normal' in order to answer, which likely answers the question. :)
@RussSharek
ha i did actually hesitate in my use of the word normal, because i don't think i can ever do that, but i guess i meant "normal for you (the reader)". or just at all ... 😬 (i keep just kind of ... shutting down ...)
you (as) ok (as can be expected) this monday? 
Excellent clarification!
I'm doing well today. I was a guest on a podcast last night, and I'm still thinking about the lively conversation.
@RussSharek
ooh lovely! i've just seen it on your page ... if there's a transcript, i'll have a read at the w/e ... (my brain and podcasts are not friends)
good conversation is a magical thing.
I am unsure if @firesidefedi provides transcripts of their podcasts. Maybe they can help?
there's what looks like an auto-generated one ... not great but better than nothing!
@moonrabbit@sunny.garden @RussSharek@mastodon.art sadly I don't know how to do transcripts. Peertube does an auto generated one. Hopefully that's OK? If anyone has any suggestions on how to do it better, please let me know. 😄
