@pixelpaperyarn yes! you have a lot of really interesting things to say

but also, even if you weren't saying anything particularly exciting or novel, I think the real value of saying things is because it's a way to make connections with people. who cares if something's been said before - maybe you're saying it in a way someone different will understand, or in a context where it's seen by people who wouldn't have been exposed to the thought otherwise.

by talking about things, you're allowing other people to know you and feel connected, which imo is super important and the main point of sites like this. do you find value in it? then it's valuable

@Ghost yeah

it does also do lightshows - you can set it so every time you tap a key it shoots rainbows off left and right, and there's a bunch of other light options too

@Ghost hmm, the info booklet says to keep it away from liquids so I don't think so, unfortunately 😕

@Ghost you're welcome!

@chainlinkspiral ooh exciting!

I'm glad you all like my keyboards! They're mechanical keyboards with blue switches, and are actually really cheap for a mechanical keyboard (which I why I could get two of them). Here's where I got it: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_273_282&item_id=105153

@a_breakin_glass yeah, I'm super in love with it!

@distelfliege yeah!

but now I can rainbow type lying down as well! (very important)

this is so entirely unnecessary, I love it

🌈 double rainbow all the way across the desk 🌈

@sed ahahahah omg

gonna try to not get sucked in, I've been knitting so little this year - I haven't used ANY of the yarn from my toronto yarn trip last year

@sed yaaa!

related: I might be visiting toronto fairly soon

just reconnected with an old friend I'd had a falling out with, and it went really well! we talked through what happened (and how to make sure it doesn't happen again), and we're both really invested in being friends again

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

I've also realised the one of the fastest ways to wake up in the morning is to feel socially connected - if I see a message from someone while I'm snoozing my alarm, I'm suddenly instantly awake

the work I've been putting into sleeping properly is paying off, bc now when I wake up in the morning, I'm actually *awake*, instead of being barely conscious and falling asleep 6 more times

most of the time this is rad, but I was awake until 4am last night, and not being able to just add the extra sleep hours on in the morning is...a new experience

I did like, three whole actual things today (and some other things which were not so actual), so now I am going to play video games instead of doing a fourth thing
