I love your posts and have assumed that you chose your username after one of my favorite Trek characters in the history of the franchise, but did you know that Paul Stamets the Discovery mycologist was named for the actual Paul Stamets, a real life mycologist? Real-Stamets is interesting particularly because he is largely self-educated in mycology and who has multiple publications and awards in the field?
I think that, most of the time, we're all locked in our own tiny worlds that are completely filled by our lives, making us forget to really inquire about the people around us. But if you start talking about things, people are usually interested! It's not an easy thing to do, especially if you don't have many opportunities - but I can really recommend trying to share some bits and pieces about cool things that the other person might enjoy. Worst case they don't respond and you can drop it. But there's also a good chance it will lead to good things! :)
I really, really wish you the best of luck that you'll have positive experiences in the future.
How are you doing?
:/
Well, I'll talk about you then. Your Risa posts have been the highlight of my Lemmy experience, and I would say a lot of others as well, considering they're consistently some of the most active posts on lemmy.world. I came because of the reddit bullshit but stayed because of your memes.
Years from now when people ask "who were the first famous Lemmings?" MY answer will be "Stamets". You beautiful fucking bastard.
