I love it when people say 'morning' to me in the middle of the afternoon. It's a moment of kinship, recognising on of your own. Ah, they're just as out of it as I am! You and me both, fellow human; you and me both.

Just spent a good hour working on my rice. It's finally perfect. #XFCE #i3wm #reverseengineering #reversing #coding #rust #linux #unixporn

hi y'all, here's a lil video of the super mario theme on marimba by aaron dewayne in case you wanted to listen to the most pleasant lil video ever

you've gone mad, little one
stepped outside too quickly
the sun is hot, clouds far between

but mama, i love her
she's warm and bright
she makes me want to be brave

you've let go, little one
your grip has loosened, you're falling
what will happen when you hit the ground?

but mama, i trust her
i am falling and may never reach the ground
she makes me want to soar

you've gone soft, little one
aren't you scared?

mama, I'm terrified
but she is my haven
she pulls me close
and i am hers.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

everything
happens
so
much

and i am young
but i have been alive for decades
of fear and isolation
spent desperately trying
to earn the space
i never meant to occupy

but i am 18
grown to completion?
with no petals to my name
and there you are
effortlessly taking down
my age old defenses

and suddenly, i am alive
was born the moment our eyes met
you are blooming
you are colors i have never seen
you are.

- suddenly, decades don't seem so daunting

"GIRL CRUSH"
is the definition of "in" right now.

"You can't be counterculture while beholden to the toxic prejudices of the dominant culture
that's not how it works."
i need to plaster this everywhere. And add that racism, sexism, classism, and ablism are all also neither punk rock nor metal.

Things I learned from being a Teen Wunderkind:

Computers aren't magical, programmers aren't magical, school isn't magical, it's all bullshit that is half decisions not to break backward compatibility, and half the first thing that worked. And once in a while something is actually _designed_ and works right.
