I found a several sheets of unprocessed 4x5 film in the back of my closet. Tomorrow goals.

Next up: . I mean, if I’m going to play only one or two more video games in my life, it would make total sense for them to be B teen horror film simulator and a silly pirate puzzle box.

I haven’t played a video game in a literal year. The interest just sort of faded away along with the testosterone. This doesn’t seem to be a commonly-reported side effect of HRT— just a me-doing-me thing.

I had every intention of working today. I woke up at the workday hour, ate a workday breakfast, put on a workday outfit, opened up my workday browser tabs.

Now I’m sitting on the sofa, playing The Quarry, dropping off-brand Jeeps on off-brand werewolves.

The lesson to take from the big layoffs at Twitter and Facebook is this: "The job will never love you back." No matter how much effort you put in, no matter how clever you are, no matter how long you've committed yourself to $COMPANY, when push comes to shove, you're just a replaceable part in the machine.

Keep your weekends and your evenings. Leave your bugs at work. Your time is for you, and your boss won't send you flowers.

@pauline @jolibourgeois omg, yes. The alien lifeforms among us that we casually treat like furniture.

For Halloween this year, the Pocket web team dressed up as , which was just totally fab.

@TheSpaceshipper Totally worth it. I appreciated the liberal use of red as a key color.

@TheSpaceshipper I can imagine worse ways to spend a Thursday evening!

@TheSpaceshipper Lovely stuff. I’ve never seen the film; I’ll have to check it out.

@mcneely @evangreer @mmasnick i wish this were parody and not life: I’d love to laugh freely.

@TheSpaceshipper when you see art up for auction that’s already been burned into your brain for 30 years. 😳

@robinsonmeyer i remember reading about that experiment; it was very hopeful!

I’ll stand by the grilled onions: I’m not sure I’ll have them any other way again.

I just made a hot sandwich with some onions that I grilled in coffee and apple cider vinegar, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Kewpie mayonaise bound it all together.

So much for today’s sodium and carb goals. 🥲 Tomorrow is going to be a make-up Thursday, and it’s going to be brutal.

@pauline now that I think about it, this really is the closest one can get to a group chat with everyone you know in it. 😁

@pauline I don’t know, a nice anti-aliasing algorithm might be perfect for accelerated scar recovery.

@pauline, it’s a very strange feeling, isn’t it?

For me, it’s heightened every day for the past two weeks. By the time they wheel me into the operating room, I expect to be vibrating with all the kinetic fury of an enraged hornets’ nest.

I’ll say Yes to the Valium

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.
