this is my first #introductions, so, hi

i'm meena! this is my queer account. or rather, my (most of the time) non-technical account.

i'm a femme leaning enby; i speak Bosnian, German, and English, and i'm trying to learn فارسی.

i try to speak openly about my depression: https://blag.esotericsystems.at/articles/opensource-burnout/

i'm self-employed in tech, if you care about that, sometimes i say smart things over at @hirojin

my politics are mostly naïve, so, ask me in in 10 years

although, i must say i admire the linguistic trick of calling something so easily exploitable "social"

it makes it so very easy to frame every opposition to being exploited as antisocial.

and i find myself longing for online services that aren't a graph, ready to be leaked…

banana republic politics - made accessible to a broader (english reading) audience: http://www.politico.eu/article/austria-election-scandal-christian-kern-sebastian-kurz-haus-of-cards

is there any utopian(?) sci-fi where parents have really awkward talks with their kids about, "what is war?"

relatedly: did ed harris ever look young?

watching needful things after so long…

i always thought … the salesman was played by Donald Sutherland, but now i'm finding it's Max von Sydow.

breakfast.

can somebody please tell me what this is and why i can't seem to be able to get rid of it?

because I'm a well prepared adult, I'm standing on a corner with free WiFi to download 🇨🇭 for osm

btw, did *you* know that 🇨🇭 is not within 🇪🇺 roaming?

rewatching Face Off

three minutes in, this is *very* John Woo

it's interesting how overwhelming evidence has to be for us to consider overturning an existing theory.

without coffee or tea
this morning

it's all over but the crying

great idea for weddings in Ireland: hold them in an actual greenhouse. if there's rain, you're going to be protected, if there's sun, it'll feel like summer!

n.b.: dying of heatstroke in 3, 2,

i've now drank half a litre of coffee, and i am, more than ever, ready to sleep

this cookie will feed me and my family for the next week
