@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.

if nothing else in my remaining life, i want to see progesterone offered as a common medication to transfem patients.

i want to see cis male doctors stop thinking the only possible reason for trans girls to take HRT is to be attractive to men.

i want to see the bones of the endos who refuse to prescribe it becuase "well theres no studies that say it makes your tits bigger" ground to dust at my feet and then i shall keel over satisfied.

Small reminder that using a VPN
(Virtual Private Network) is only a transfer of trust. You should trust your VPN service company more than you trust your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Small reminder that Meta (Facebook) is a company you should never trust.

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.

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.
