I'm sure some folks have seen the news, but air quality in Oregon and Washington is extremely bad right now. Even with windows closed, you can smell the wildfire smoke pretty strongly because the fires are already as close as Timberline Lodge. Red sun again.

Reminding myself once again to stay focused on glowing up and getting back in touch with myself instead of letting my mind and feelings get dragged back into the things and people that have crushed my self-esteem and self-worth

I can't say enough how good it is for mental health following a lot of stress and heartache to sink into DIY electronics, synths, and books as way to re-focus and be constructive I'm done with closer relationships for awhile, romantic or otherwise, give me a soldering iron and paint brushes

6 years after 2020, I still marvel at how often people who present themselves as the most principled are among the shittiest in private. They'll preach but not practice, encourage understanding, patience, agency, and vulnerability, while punishing and demanding acquiescence from those closest.

I so deeply miss honesty and authenticity, where words and actions align, and I don't feel like I have to always be on guard and afraid to trust that people are being genuine with me Someone recently said they don't get over certain things, but they move on, and that rings so true lately.

Truly the best thing about having a cat is waking up with mysterious scratches, and you just know that fucker was straight up walking on you in your sleep and slipped a foot because he's an uncoordinated dork

One of my former teachers is Jack Boas, a Holocaust survivor who was born in Westerbork transit camp. He's spoken out against Israel's actions. Principled people speak out against atrocity. Being a Jewish state doesn't change that that's what's going on or mean Israel is immune from consequences.

People need to get it through their heads that whatever they *might* have “actually” meant a couple of years ago, when leftists say “AIPAC” or “Israel” NOW they often mean (((Jewish))) just as when MAGA says “DEI” they mean “Black.” If you can’t get that I don’t know what the else to say.

Surprising, but welcome change: Tons more nerdy girls are putting out nerd content, and among those I follow, not only are not all of the comments about their tits, I haven't seen any. If you're a nerd, you know how mindbending this is. Maybe one day even Linux users will catch up?

Work wiped my ass out this week, thanks to developers constantly pushing busted ass code. This weekend absolutely demands asanas, kettlebells, and proper food, or I’m going to be a lazy ass creature all weekend 😵‍💫
