@Concerned_Commy @Technowix yeah why not just q? covers all of us :)

@Concerned_Catgirl xx

@Concerned_Catgirl it makes it worth fighting

@Concerned_Catgirl sure you can, you do it all the time

it's a struggle---it's the struggle

you're supposed to feel like shit in a capital economy

@Concerned_Catgirl it's not a purchase, a balance sheet

you make the most of what's good and live with the rest as best you can

@Concerned_Catgirl i know

i feel like that much of the time too

but it's not all the time

@Concerned_Catgirl i'm so sorry you're suffering so much; it'd really hurt me to lose you

@amphetamine you know i don't remember the perl community ever making me feel like that

maybe it was the presence of high profile people like Audrey Tang

i just never felt bad about myself

scrolling through my tl i wonder why it's so common that we look to the left in our avatars (i tend to choose pics that do this too); it's like we're shy, looking away from the conversation

then there are the wonderfully direct gazes, right into camera, honest, fearless

but some of you (you know who you are) face the other way, right into the conversation; and it feels in character, thoughtful, considerate

it says approachable, safe; it says: i'm here, I'm listening

i liek

@amphetamine haha fair enough

i liked everything about erlang as a language ...

but joe incessantly uses the word "bugger" as a general pejorative and it drove me nuts

out of the box
down colourful hill
winds lifting tired feet
skin sensing challenge ahead

@enkiv2 "to us you appear to be the only one around who is clinically sane"

hellyeactuallyno

the snow is so thick i'm reminded of les enfants terribles and the stone that struck my heart

@enkiv2 good luck hiding behind a marriage next time you hire mercenaries to murder unionisers

not that you ... you know what i mean

@enkiv2 like pretend to be one person?

@ed no i've been thinking about it anyway, thinking that love is always worth it, worth all of the pain

@ed oh, a few times

i've been hiding from it, because it hurts so much to lose it again

but that's silly

@ed often when you least expect it
