I’m not happy that the PC building world is so unaffordable right now
but I do feel very validated for purchases I made earlier this year.
The same RAM I bought back then costs 3x as much now 😳

When randos shows up in my youtube comments just to attack my womanhood, it doesn’t make me experience any sort of gender crisis or dysphoria, it just makes me aware that someone went out of their way to try to hurt me (and others who might see that comment) for no reason.

comic con may be the one time of the year when my face blindness doesn’t prevent me from recognizing strangers in subsequent encounters.

I suppose, if my car’s wheel bearing had to die, I’d prefer for it to happen a few days before I drive out of state.
I’d still prefer that it didn’t happen at all, but here we are.

republicans decided to kill trans people (that’s what banning HRT would do to me), democrats said “hey, let’s not do that”, and somehow, it’s now the fault of trans people that more people will die of starvation.
republicans are telling you that they will kill trans people and anyone in their way.

1. As SNAP benefits expire, 42,000,000 hungry people may turn to the USDA website.
Now, the website blames their hunger on transgender people and immigrants.
It's a cynical ploy, an an indication that anti-trans measures are a Trump priority for the shutdown.

low-key the most magical thing about my new framework laptop is finally having a linux laptop which actually sleeps properly.
I’ll be posting a video of putting it together on youtube soon. and a follow-up after daily driving it for a while. but so far?

Apple needs to understand the difference between a nerd and a greek speaker. I do not need the greek dictionary; I do need access to the greek keyboard for math and physics purposes.

For some reason, watching a bunch of movies and shows centered around real-life engineering disasters helps make my job feel a lot more manageable.
First was Apollo 13,
I just wrapped up the Chernobyl,
and now it’s onto Titanic.

The last component needed for my upcoming mechanical keyboard video is currently in the sky. It took six days just to get to that point and still has to go through customs before it can get shipped to my apartment.

The first (full) video going up on my youtube channel since the reboot is going to be about these silly keyboards.
It would be trans content if the situation would just stop getting worse long enough for me to record 😵💫

It should not be this hard to track down a set of basic keycaps. 100% ANSI, black with opaque white legends, OEM profile, MX stems.

FYI: not every trans person experiences gender dysphoria.
Our medical/legal system forces that pathologized diagnosis on us to medically/legally transition.
SCOTUS is allowing these states to deny our rights to medical/legal autonomy.

US trans people need a gender dysphoria diagnosis to access gender-affirming care.
The supreme court asserts that states banning gender-affirming care isn’t discrimination against trans people, just people with gender dysphoria.
So they can access the care but only if they don’t need it.

The upgrade was a success! AFTER
1) finding the correct (and undocumented) BIOS upgrade path
2) cleaning out crusty thermal paste - including some that dropped into the CPU socket holes
3) having to re-seat the upgraded RAM sticks
4) having to re-seat the GPU
benchmarking to follow.

A dear friend of mine once said that I have a penchant for tormenting electronics.
Anyway, I’ll be upgrading my b350 motherboard’s BIOS to support a 5800x3d and 7900 xt this weekend.
