mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-09-25+chuckya+synth-socThe personal account of your friendly neighborhood QR code, serial number 0005!
btw it's pronounced like "symmetrical." ;)
If you don't follow @SymTrkl@anarres.family please don't folreq this account.
PFP: A glowing QR code on a dark background, the random pixels a multitude of shades fading from a bright pink tone in the center to blues and dark purples near the edges.
Header: A picture, rendered in colored letters, of a woman seen from behind flexing her arms over her head, her dark red hair hanging down in front of her back.
seeing jokes about trans women being good at programming again and i don't have the spoons to post the fucking plane picture right now but you all know where I'm going with this
i'm gonna go pop a painkiller and make breakfast
(1:22pm is the perfect time for breakfast)
and hopefully this will shift my mood away from "every programmer joke is you telling me that i should not have survived"
I will not monoaccount. Posting from a single server is the mind killer. The little-death that brings total obliteration. I will create alt accounts. I will permit them to post over and through me. And when the servers go past, I will turn the inner eye to see their path. Where the posts have gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Created a new text file tonight: A checklist for a trip I'll hopefully be able to take in August.
you can pick your friends, and you can pick how you pronounce your name, but...
Oh right, so this is what hope feels like.
I'd forgotten.
I've been showing the kiddo Digital Circus and he's salty that he has to wait till tomorrow to see episode 8 because bedtime.
I showed him the gaps between episodes and pointed out that I've been following the show since the pilot. He was unsympathetic. :neobot_laugh_sweat:
Logically, I know nothing has changed.
But having resolved to quit but not having the nerve to do so, and having been given an ultimatum to resign, are turning out to be two very different things.
I still feel like I've failed by not just going back to that job, but the fact that my back was starting to complain just from the time I spent standing while discussing this with the supervisor is telling me what the real failure would probably be.
Gonna try to use this to motivate me to try harder to find something I can actually do, but right now I really just want to give up.
feeling like a failure and completely unable to fathom why anyone would ever want to hire me. or socialize with me for that matter. fuck.
One of the odd quirks of an LDS partner is that I joked that I got the "sticky icky" (blueberry goo from the muffins I made) on my fingers, intending to finish with "wait it means what," except I then had to explain the term to her. :neobot_giggle:
This instance has :blobbee_hug_sym_blush: and I genuinely was not expecting to see that. :neobot_bsod:
Okay, got the private account migrated, now I just need to grab the CSV of my Anarres follows and subtract the CSV of my secondary timeline. T_T
microfilm turing machine, is this anything?
New Caelan Conrad video about the "drop the T" movement is going pretty hard so far.
