Today's my girlthday, my 2-year transfem HRT anniversary! Blood test in 2 hours, and I'm so excited for the *DATA*! 🖥️😺 (I'd accidentally made my estradiol 7x higher last time, lol.) I should take all my measurements for my spreadsheet today, too. Might show some charts on stream in a few days #trans

Remember the can that you have in the cupboard, with an expiry date in the obviously fictional, made-up year that could never happen of 2026? Welp, guess I'm eating a lot of peach slices for the next few weeks 😸

@lunazera.bsky.social: "If you hang around long enough, maybe you'll get some fox girl fanart."
@ladyemily.nebula.tv: "I can't imagine that happening."
I've been too scared to try drawing fanart, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a silly joke, so this is my first time! 😸

She keeps insisting she's not a foxgirl, so I'm facing my fear of drawing to make a fanart meme to let everyone know she's "not" a foxgirl 🦊 (tune in to find out who) www.twitch.tv/tawnycodecat

Me at the pharmacy: "Picking up a prescription for [deadname]"
Them: "Okay, what's his birthday?"
My brain: (Did I just pass by having to deadname myself and being misgendered?) 🤣
Anyone else have paradoxical passing stories? 🏳️⚧️

I just had an epic snowball fight with the roof. The roof says it had a landslide victory, but I'm going to call it a draw, since I got hit with as much snow as it did 😵💫

Tomorrow (today?) Friday, if I can get the errands and emails done that I want to get done, I want to stream some art in the evening. It's going to be my first time trying to draw character art 😰 I'm too nervous to try drawing fanart of folks I'm close to, but I'm feeling inspired for a silly joke 😸

If only I'd known that "Sailor Moon gay" was a thing back then... (yearns longingly into the distance)
It came in waves. I'd be a full-on Sailor Moon gay online when I was as a teen, deny it, forget, then repeat into adulthood until all my friends coincidentally were lesbians. Also I'd been making a fruity-ass comic for a decade and kept going "wow, why do readers keep assuming I'm a lesbian?"
how did you know you were a lil fruity ??

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! If you have Notepad++ installed, immediately manually reinstall it from a freshly downloaded installer! 🚨😱
In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site
Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked
Suspected China-state hackers used update infrastructure to deliver backdoored version.

I've got so much that I'd like to stream, but tomorrow (Wednesday), my current plan is to stream coding a shared string class and a hash set/map, maybe some smaller things. I'm getting close to reading & writing JSON files, though the code for going from number to text will and back be *wild* 🤘

I guess they couldn't even find two slices of bread to make the shit sandwich they've sold to investors 🤣 This news dropped after close of markets on Friday, presumably in hopes that people will forget about it by Monday, but I hope this is the beginning of the end of this disgusting A.I. bubble.

After last night's stream, I realized that the only reason the stack of tasks needed to be locked was to avoid a race condition in case 1, i.e. if it weren't locked, and another thread added tasks after this thread found none, but before this thread checked what was running, it could exit too early.
Last night, I learned that I should work through difficult logic *before* stream 😸 The thing I was stuck on simplified a lot after realizing the desired value after the "compare_exchange" is always the same, no matter what the previous value is, so it could have just been an "exchange".

I saw a transmasc streamer refer to his HRT anniversary as his "boythday", which is so fun. I considered referring to my HRT anniversary as my "girthday", but apparently that's a thing in the inflation community, so maybe I'll go with "girlthday" 😸

I need to find a good way to face my anxiety, instead of just freezing and not doing things that I need/want to do. I wanted to stream on Sunday, then Monday, and then today, but I've had so much trouble bringing myself to do other things that are more urgent that I keep putting off streaming 😿
