Ugh, I'm cold and have a distinct absence of someone to cuddle.
This whole 'be chill being by yourself' thing sucks, I miss being at the whim of my BPD and making bad dating decisions.

Has anyone successfully transitioned from digital calendars back to analog calendars?
I want to stop relying on my phone so much, and use my #bulletjournal regularly again (it comes with monthly/weekly/daily schedules so I don't even need to set it up)...
Keeping track of appointments etc on two calendars is more work than I can handle, so a hybrid system is frankly not an option anymore. :(
Hackerrank's emails start with
"Due to your impressive skills in the community, you should do this interview test"
Job is for Java. I've never completed a single Java challenge on HR, only Rust/R/Haskell/SQL.
Can their next challenge be implementing accurate emailshots..?
"I'm not using singular they! The APA says not to"
"The APA isn't the boss of you. And actually it says singular they is fine"
"Okay, well, um... the OED says not to"
"The OED is also not the boss of you. And actually it also says it's fine"
"Okay, but... um... I..."

today's gender is overengineered
aggressively own the "feminine" things that bring you joy!!! PLAY BARBIE GAMES!!! WRITE YOUR CRUSHES NAME ON A NOTEBOOK ROLL AROUND IN THE DIRT AND MAKE SHRINES OUT OF FOUND ROCKS
Someone from the mid 90s would be so confused by modern browsing.
"So webpages used to be a couple of KB, but now they're several MB and we use parallelism to speed up pageload"
"Oh wow. So you get lots more information?"
"...it's mostly to centre elements"

night witches! Y'all precious and I hope each one of you is cozy tonight.
#Selfcare check!
🌟 Have you eaten in the past few hours? Find a snack if you need to!
🌟 Are you stuck in a bad thought cycle? Take a break for bit, listen to something you like or text a friend.
🌟 Have you moved your body around in the past hour? It's not healthy to be in one spot for too long!
Take care, my tooters!

#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?
Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.
And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."
Cheers folks, good conclusion.
Colleague is pretty irresponsible and maybe a little spoiled, and you're all sensible.
"You've been through a lot of stuff, like"
Gods, ain't my counsellor eloquent :')
A coworker told me today that when he goes home to his family, he takes all his dirty laundry and expects them to cook for him.
He's like 29?!
(Personally don't ever see my family, but that's not normal, right?)
When I joined masto, I gravitated towards following creative peeps and noticed a thing that's pretty common to all of us: we feel guilty for promoting places that people can buy our work or otherwise support us financially. So I started the #CreativeToots hashtag for that very reason. Got an Etsy page? Online store? Patreon? Selling a piece of art? Throw that tag on it. Do it with unfettered abandon. Everyone else: Look at that tag for artists to support. Buy their stuff. Help them create. <3
