It's been a minute, so I'd forgotten that you need to load the sheets emulsion side inwards on a MOD45 reel. 😑

Also, I'm out of fixer.

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.

Show thread

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. 😁

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.
