Intel: "Oh whoops, we wanted to be able to control your PC through a MINIX installation inside your CPU's Management engine to get a few extra bucks, but it totally backfired, we had no idea that an exploit would be found so soon. Sorry 'bout that. Please don't @ us, instead talk to your motherboard manufacturers pls thx!"

Be gentle with yourself. I love you!

On the latest Brooklyn 99, Rosa comes out as bi. Not “is dating a woman now so we get to include her, in a headcanon way, on Tumblr roundups”. She says “I’m bi”. Verbatim. Twice.

I wasn’t expecting how HAPPY it would make me to have more badass bi representation. But then I still remember Orange Is The New Black and how they never fucking once said it, despite Piper having feelings for a woman and a man simultaneously.

But then, Stephanie Beatriz (who plays Rosa) is bi. I wond

Remember when we were younger, and we fantasized that cyberpunk was this awesome desired thing?

Where you could plug yourself in and digitally craft your entire everything, or have some spliced organo-mechano body sculpt so that you could appear outwardly as well as you felt inwardly, or just how much your overall appearance was modifiable?

Remember how excited you got inside when you fantasized that all these things were completely normal in that world, and that it would be worth it despite the utterly bleak dystopian backdrop that leeched all of the empathy, compassion, and civility out of being alive?

We're not there... we've DEFINITELY got the latter dystopian part, and we're still working on the first half, but the general world is not qvite as receptive to our crafting of our own images as would be ideal.

Hold on to those that are accepting of it. Hold on to them tightly.

This is how we survive the problems of the latter... how we navigate the dystopia.

We are better than the inhumanity of this world, because inside we are bright-neon, rainbow colored, shiny metallic, soft and comforting, hard and unflinching, loud and proud, qviet and caring, glowy-eyed beings.

We craft our existence despite being surrounded by these crumbling ruins of society, because who we are is all we have. They cannot take that away, because we won't let them.

You are worth every last gasp of breath that's inside you, every tear of sorrow, every dazzling spark of elation, and every shred of compassion.

I don't know if you needed that reminder or not... I just know that I did, today.

Congratulate yourself for doing difficult things, even if they might not seem difficult to others.

To experience peace does not mean that your life is always blissful. It means that you are capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life. ~ Jill Bolte Taylor

The Homer Simpson ploy is not a good look for us.

Take a nice long shower or bath. Let the water loosen your muscles and your mind.

a week or so ago I wrote a mail to a podcast I like, telling them I think they're great.
In their latest episode they mentioned that they were very happy to have received a fan mail. Like 1 fan mail.
I thought my message would just be one of many.
So anyway, if you can, tell creators you like that you like what they do, they might not hear it as much as you'd think. :)
