Things that don't deserve a full post I guess, but I wanna get them somewhere anyway.
I'm too old and tired to wade into that shit. I'll wait and see how things shake out. If geminispace becomes a bastion for bigots and conspiracy nuts (maxheadroom on Station is both, and then some), no skin off my back, I'll just leave. This space isn't worth fighting them for.
It is incredibly funny that clseibold is leaving gemini, supposedly upset about spaces here being too moderated, but I've only ever seen him participate in Station, which is entirely unmoderated. Per his posts there, he's upset at a lot of the bigoted views currently being expressed on Station. Views which moderation would take care of. Free Speech Absolutists are morons. Good riddance.
Lol not surprised that "free speech zone" Station is rapidly becoming a shit show
My phone battery's been dropping quicker than it used to. Realized that started happening right when I starting talking nonstop with this absolute cutie. Worth it
If there's one thing gemini is good at, it's collecting people who love to do Discourse. The kind you'd see on Twitter, just done via blog replies. ew
something's fucky with my SMTP because I can't send email anymore!! :D
Up until 2am playing the Quake 2 re-release despite obligations in the morning. It's just like I'm in junior high again
It's really sad when I stumble on a gemini page that says they moved to a new host, and that new host or their page on that host is entirely unreachable
Using gemini has actually had me thinking about how to simplify my web page. It's pretty simple already, though there's some minor Javascript involved. Gemini gives me super nineties web vibes, and my website gives me maybe late oughts web vibes. I'd like to pull my website even further back in time. I just hate doing html and css (however minimal). I also think a gem -> web converter is too lazy for me. Hmm 🤔
There are assholes in this world who seem to only find joy from shitting on other people.
i can't sleep, depression and grief? added two new sub-gemlogs: non-tech and tech. they are both linked from my main gemlog page
Out of the corner of my eye the other cats look so much like Duster.
We got so used to him spending time with us in the kitchen in his final weeks. This evening when we were making dinner, Olive walked in just like Duster. We both saw Duster.
I'm getting sick of how short and small my cries are. It feels like I'm all stopped up. Where's my big full body sobs? My cat deserves them more than my ex ever did
So nice I tinylogged it twice 🤦♀️
I met my wife three years ago today!!! 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 All because I was heartbroken about a partner moving across the country and I subtweeted my now wife. She was the brave one, actually DMing me.

There's this older puzzle game about rats on PS4 called Tiny Brains that had some sight gags in the background. One I really loved was a book called "Cooperation is the Key to Meatball Heaven"
Heavy heart, feelings suck, I just want something to move forward in a positive way. Everything's been so much for months now.
Also I've stopped submitting my gemlog to Antenna because I do not want my shit to be replied to by assholes.
god i wish Cosmos had a filter just like Antenna does
Items on my as shopping lists that don't make any sense:
- fruity cheese
- veggie omelet
- veggie cream soup
- flat lights
There are a lot of things about my adult life I never would have guessed as a kid, but being a cat lady would probably be the most startling and most exciting one
It's really amazing how trans people occupy so much of a bigot's brain space that they cannot help but constantly talk about it. We're just out here living our lives and making the most of it. Must be miserable to be so pre occupied with hate all the time.
The downfall of Twitter will forever be sad to me because where else could I have subtweeted my way into a loving relationship that's about to hit three years and still going strong?
while not much professional use to me anymore, I've rehosted the netmask/cidr translation table that I heavily referenced in my old career
well that was frustrating, a weird confluence of issues took my website down for a bit. my host moved me to a new server, and their automations barfed when I pulled certificates off of two other domains I no longer use. I had to remove the cert from my actual domain and then reapply it to get it to go again. weird as hell
The really weird part about being unemployed and unable to work a job is that I actually WANT to do the house wife stuff of like daily chores and keeping the place super clean and preparing food for my wife. But the reason I can't work is the reason I can't housewife super well.
Disability is hard..
And here's a test from my phone! Easy
Just installed molly-brown server and made a small little bash script to facilitate managing my tinylog from my phone!
I hate the medical system, I hate scheduling appointments, I hate how it's MY problem to fix when THEY cancel my appointments.
Had a thought the other night about a minor visual change I could make to the little game I've been working on. Well, it's actually been on pause since February or March, when we moved back to Chicago. I've been struggling a lot with my longcovid fatigue such that I haven't had the energy or desire to work on it.
My cat Duster has been really struggling with eating food. He seems to WANT food, but struggles to get it in his mouth and keep it there. He can handle Churu, which is like a pudding, so I've been trying to change the texture of his food to make it easier for him to eat. Currently I'm mashing his fancy feast pate food into a softer consistency with a fork or whisk, then mixing in fancy feast with creamy milk sauce. He _loves_ the milk sauce and this texture helps him get the pate into his mouth. He used to weigh 18 pounds before his stroke (just over a month ago now). This morning he weighed 11.7 pounds.
I desperately need something to let up, there's too much stress constantly.
I might start keeping a tinylog, I dunno.
