It’s that time of year again when I start getting text messages for the republican couple that used to have my number and died over 20 years ago.

Me: <original_code> gives <error>. Why? AI: Because your code is bad and you should feel bad. Do this: <new_code>. Me: Your code returns <new_error>. AI: Oh, my apologies. My code is bad and I feel bad. Use <original_code> since it accounts for everything I didn’t.

It frustrates me so much when a site does a redesign and then totally neglects Safari. Like, it’s the second most used browser on the web at ~18% market share, and typically much higher than that for most people’s typical visitor share.

When I started this job I was told that On Call shifts were generally quiet with folks claiming they didn't have more than a handful of incidents in the 10+ years they've been working here. I've only had 3 on call shifts so far, and all of them have had incidents. ;_;

I really like being able to repair my own electronics. When systems are constructed of simple, modular components, it makes it so easy to troubleshoot.

Oof. That had to be the worst 2 day flu or whatever it was I’ve had since the “mystery illness” that knocked me out for a week in January 2020. 😮‍💨

Decided to go all in on my yoga class last night and managed to get into a couple poses that I haven’t been able to do in a while due to some injuries. Feeling very confident about the state of my body.

When I was at Megaplex I had a weird interaction in the elevator. Someone started flirting with me while in suit, but after noticing my “I ❤️ Hot Moms” pin they dramatically announced, “Nevermind, he’s straight. We lost another one!” I pointed out I had a boyfriend and they were also mad I was Bi? 🤷

I’m very open with my mom and at one point we somehow got on the topic of my sex life. The idea of being in a happy, healthy relationship with someone that also allowed you to sleep with other people was really foreign to her. “I don’t know if I could ever do it, but I’m glad it’s working for you!”

More of this, please!

We’re proud to announce the ClubKnot Community Access Program. Starting with our September event, we’re setting aside discounted tickets and volunteer opportunities for members of our community who might otherwise be unable to attend. Apply: t.me/clubknot

I sometimes forget that the BlueSky “algorithm” is literally just “these are the most recent posts from people you specifically chose to follow” and will often think to myself, “wow, the internet is really horny for [thing I’m really into] today!”

To add to all this PayPal drama floating around creators the last few days, I almost never trust artists who ask to send friends and family. Sorry, but I’ll happily pay your PayPal fees to be able to have some assurances as a customer.

Saw Bouchra with some folks this afternoon. Fantastic movie that was a lot more complex, emotional, and closer to home than I expected. Also feeling very seen with that sniffing scene~ 🥴

I’m so excited that stuff like this can exist. It gives me hope that our community is finally starting to “get it.”

Here's the flyer i made for @twincitiesclawsout.bsky.social ! Super excited for our very first event this october! Please share this around, and hopefully I'll see u there~

Pairing a trackpad with a mouse is such a quality of life improvement for my work. Left hand scrolls, zooms, and swipes, right hand targets, clicks, and moves.
