@h5e yikes!! Hair: the danger you never suspect!

@Ultrarunfamily with you on dwindled attention span as culprit. I don’t want to descend into hysterics, but I’m blaming 👆👆👆my phone for my not-quite-goldfish-level attention span. Not that it’s ever been _that_ great (hi, 👋adhd)

Okay, so more moving talk. I was planning to not have a television or projector setup in the new apartment, partly because background streaming is a mind killer, but also because I just want to get back into the habit of reading. (And also, also: one less gizmo to distract).

But.

But.

I have a Commodore 1084 CRT in the basement … 😳

Vision Pro has been out for two months, and the only new immersive content from Apple so far is a five-minute sports-highlight video from MLS games that happened last year.

I'm not sure what I expected for such a low-volume product… I guess I assumed Apple would be putting out much more content for it.

When someone sends you a photo and you immediate associate it with the palette of a promotional flyer for a 1980’s arcade game you never played.

Was recently asked by someone to print this one. It’s a 4x5 negative, so technically, I could dust off the massive LF enlarger in the basement, mix up some chemicals, and do a real print.

But my life is upside down right now, and chemistry seems a mean feat. I’ll probably have a lab do the printing for me.

If I carry forward with analogue photography after this downsizing, I’ll need to consider renting proper studio and lab space. I don’t want share living space with my hobbies anymore.

Small reminder that using a VPN

Every day where I wake up and I’m not moved to my new apartment in the city feels regressive.

I am ready to be gone.

Only, I’m not _actually_ ready, because I still have 10-20 boxes to pack and furniture to be moved to the basement staging area. 🙄

And a car to be packed with wine, keys to be obtained, art to manage, ... _things_.

😒

pink! eye contact! really cute earrings! 

It's Monday; I'm bringing the pink today. 💖

@ics @Impossible_PhD @woozle these are all the reasons why I generally don’t hang out in queer spaces.

I love that the queer umbrella is wide, but gosh being at the edge of the umbrella feels a lot like being _other_. Stack on the often aggressive sexuality of it all, and I’d usually rather be the oddity at the cis bar.

@el@mozilla.social this is the best feeling. 🥰

Acceptable photos of me from Japan. I bought the Lesley Evers Strawberry coat for the trip. Now I own it in 3 different colors. 😂

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.
