Back in Chicago for the first time since 2015. I’m here to host a team meetup, but also to visit with friends I haven’t seen since my last visit, and, therefore, haven’t ever really seen _me_. 🫥

@danirabbit Oh gods. I’m being pulled (kicking and screaming) into Disney World later this year. I may have to try for this.

Trying to figure out the posing in this photo. Like, what was the photographer going for exactly?

@Terra@chaosfem.tw I think you have proven that you have something to write home about your boobs: just transcribe what you posted here. 🥰

Also: I’m jealous. 😆

Last week, when we launched Pocket 8 on iOS, I had the opportunity to wear a suit for the first time in a decade, and an EYE PATCH. (A tradition for Pocket releases; also, I have a stye).

Now I just want to wear this combo all of the time. 🥰

@marcin Thank you. While I agree that it shouldn’t happen, I need to accept that it sometimes will, and learn to brush it off when it does. ☺️

I have been asked to stop using the word MANSPLAINING.

It probably is time to be more politically correct.

In the future I will be using the clinical diagnosis CORRECTILE DYSFUNCTION.

You’re welcome.

I’ve been homeless before, but never homeless like these people. I can’t even imagine.

Show thread

Went to a queer bar for the first time on Saturday. Ended up getting pushed off the dance floor by a couple who took offense to something about my presentation. 🤷‍♀️ After half an hour in the corner with the trash cans, a dude spit on me; I got the hell out.

It’s ❤️ to have friends for nights like these: I ended up calling one and having a good, solid two-hour talk that kept me from tipping into a depressive fugue.

Some snaps of SF street life from my walk; it sure put things in perspective. 😕

Pulling out my favorite threadbare doggy photo for my threadbare self.

Pocket 8 for iOS just passed through App Store review. I was bracing for a fight (no particular reason, just a lot of years of hard-won experience), but now this May 16 release is 100% in the hands of my team to win or lose.

As a computer hobbyist, I often worry how good my passwords are. I've never seen anything to describe how important it is. This chart and the research is super. My hat off to HIVE!

A reminder about gun massacres in the USA:

Back in 1979 the Cleveland Elementary School shooting was so shocking that people wrote songs about it.

It was one of two spree shootings that year: there were a total of just 26 shootings in the decade 1970-1979.

Brenda Spencer killed two adults and injured 9 children.

Yesterday (May 6th) there were THREE comparable spree shootings in the USA: the day before that there were FIVE.

There have been 14 spree shootings in the first week of May, 2023.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
