hi! I didn't do an #introduction so here goes:

I'm 29, cis lesbian in Canada (she/her pronouns)

I have a lot of hobbies and I tend to cycle through them, but the big ones are:
#knitting #drawing #piano #ukulele #videogames

I have a bunch of mental health ~stuff~ going on, and I'm working very hard to be an emotionally stable person. I tend to do a lot of emotional labour and can get intense about things.

in school I studied knowledge integration, math, and art, so I know small bits about lots of different things.

I teach beginner knitting (which I love) and do tech support for my day job (which I hate)

I want to make friends, so talk to me!

all I want to do these days is acquire art, frame it, hang it on my walls, and stare at it

my prints finally arrived! they’re from https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/nimasprout and I’m really enjoying staring at them so far

good for you!

.....I shouldn't be surprised I'm sick

green candy is basically a vegetable right

maybe I should do some sensory stuff idk

I feel so dazed today, like when my eyes can't focus on something, except it's my whole body

I'm going to do it! I'm going to save up money and buy a countertop dishwasher! aaaah I'll finally be able to use my kitchen

I should really start sewing my weighted blanket this week...I've lost the small piece of paper with the dimensions I figured out tho. eugh.

me, every single day: I'm so exhausted, I want to have a 10 hours nap

five minutes later: "eat food" alarm goes off

self care is hard ok

"Public service announcement:
Don't ever use chmod 777 to fix problems"
don't tell me what to do!

on a related note I'm really thankful for the tool where you can choose the permissions visually bc I can never remember all the numbers

maybe I should take a break and figure out a stitch pattern for my socks instead

why are windows workspaces SO BAD. I've been using multiple workspaces on ubuntu for almost 10 years now and I can't believe how poorly these are implemented omg. you can't even move a window between workspaces without a mouse! I am deeply resentful any time I'm forced to use a mouse for tasks that shouldn't need it.

I'm going to dual boot with some flavour of linux, but I still need to move a bunch of harddrives around before I actually set that up, so until then I'm just going to be salty about windows.

I also still can't believe windows doesn't have tabbed file browsing. like...what?

my old laptop is still set up next to my desktop, and I keep trying to mouse over into it eugh. I wish I could mouse over into it then drag and drop files that way -_-

I think I need *one* more cable, but hopefully that's the last time I say that...

fiiiiiinally managing to get my computer set up after a million complications (i'm so relieved, it's taken like 2 months)

I have so many good rocks❣️
