This urge to swing back toward hard femme would be less frustrating if I could actually get jeans that didn't feel like they were trying to squoosh me into a shape I'm not.
Time to send the custom-made jeans back and ask them to try again, with more ease this time please.
We are soft creatures, underneath it all.
Our flesh is yielding, and while our bones may be sturdy, they can still break. We are made of gentleness.
Compassion is our defining characteristic as a species. We bond and identify with each other, with plants and animals and technology.
We sing a Mars Rover 'Happy Birthday' and bake it a cake every year, because we know it can't come home. (we tell a robot that this is home)
We are gentle. It is not weakness to be soft in a world of hard edges
It's not so much that people forget about Usenet as that they forget why it died.
It got spammed to death.
It lost control over its culture, and that culture was crucial to its functioning.
It was too problematic for ISPs (or others) to provide ready access to it: spam, harassment, child pornography, and copyright violations all posed massive concerns.
There was no viable business model for providing the service.
you: get woke
me, an intellectual: ransomware disproportionately affects older Operating Systems & therefore computer viruses/cybercrime are a class issue
you: NO NOT THAT WOKE
Three days of utterly crappy mood lifted, immediately followed by two days (so far) at home with a sick kid.
Cancelled my date, postponed my errands. I may make it to circus class tonight but boy does that class suck when I have cramps.
Okay, life, you have a week to turn this shit around or I'm going to arrive at WisCon touch-starved and only half-packed.
i feel this constant compulsion to be communicating with someone, but when i attempt it, i find that i have nothing to say

I'm amused (and unsurprised) that this sign was necessary. I mean, who hasn't wandered around a doctor's office wondering what to do with a sample? https://witches.town/media/4D9wF8rO-CT0XpUtYTA
Ugh I just want to apologise for existing.
If I'm not enjoying being around me, why would anyone else want to spend time in my presence?
I see many admins are using Docker for their Mastodon instance. There's no problem in that, it seems so simple, etc. But think about that : process are running using ROOT. And by default, there's no namespaces, so a root user in a Docker container HAS THE SAME PRIVILEGES as the root user on the host. With the amount of technology used my Mastodon, it is INSANE to run it as root.
Please share this post.
20 years ago: I hang out with a bunch of men, who I'm pretty sure don't want to hear about girl stuff, especially not pms.
Now: I hang out with a bunch of genderqueer folks, who are significantly more polite about it but I still feel weird bringing up my cis girl hormone problems when somebody asks how I'm doing.
But specific context aside, I should be able to say, "hey, I'm struggling with a solid 60-hour mood slump" to my friends, right?
Aspirational lip gloss arrived. It's *super* sticky & glittery.
Jokes about communism aren't funny unless everyone gets them
They are looking for speakers at nonbinary.tech for a conference about the work of nonbinary people in and around the tech industry. A free conference in London, UK.
I'm nicer than I think I am. This feeling I have that I'm a bitch or a terrible person is the result of a lifetime of the kind of gaslighting our culture feeds women who are insufficiently submissive.
I don't really know what I want to do about this; it's not like 'nice' is a life goal. Quite the opposite, actually.
(This rumination is wholly due to the fact that I came up "Inanna" on that WicDiv quiz.)
My lips have healed up enough that they have a shape again but the aspirational lipstick I ordered hasn't arrived yet. I have planned poorly.
We grew up with fewer positive interactions with humans, and more time to focus on everything else in the world.
We have to either make our peace with the rejection of family and tradition, or learn to radically reinterpret them.
We have to fight against consensus reality just to express our identities and live our lives.
Queer people are magic.
It's not that we're born with some secret chosen-one destiny.
It's just that we get plenty of practice at it.
Guess who's the luckiest!
Got me a girlfriend who doesn't seem to mind that I'm molting, sometimes all over them. <3
