Every time I'm around a sysadmin talking about their job, I am convinced anew that the entire profession is made up of devout animists.
sysadmin here. key point in my job is to understand that computers are literally malevolent demon possessed boxes of evil that really are out to fuck you up. my job is to know the thousand ways to intimidate the fucking can opener with a wrench.

I used to be a person who never wished harm on anyone, even those who harmed me. Decades later, I wished that I could stop wishing harm on those who willfully harmed others.
Now I’m a person in a Walgreens, buying a celebratory pint of Cherry Garcia.

#gymlog jogging, 1.5 miles. First run since it got cold, also first since I sprained the heck out of my ankle last month. Should have gone sooner, but depression.
Unfortunately jogginb is good for depression. Such a scam.

Sorry bluesky, but as part of my attempt to wean myself off Twitter, I’m probably going to start keeping my boring log of physical activity here.

KOSA looks to be every bit as bad as Charlie Jane says here; red state AGs will use it to silence *anyone* they don't like, but LGBTQ+ will take the brunt of it.
I just sent a note to my Senators and Rep using Resistbot - it was painless and only took a few minutes. Look it up!

Hey Long Covid sufferers:
I'm 6 weeks into a med called Guanfacine, used for TBI (traumatic brain injury) sufferers and used as a non-stimulant ADHD med (I can't have stimulants due to my heart), and it's helping noticeably with brain fog, and helping with executive function. A heads up :)

Rights Without Remedies Might As Well Not Exist
In Acheson Hotels v. Laufer, the Supreme Court could further undermine this country's already shoddy system of civil rights enforcement.

Following in a recent tradition of injuring myself for my birthday, last night I sprained my ankle while walking the dog. Like, boy-howdy sprained-sprained.
Picture 1: what I saw. Picture 2: what was actually there. It’s like a 2” drop.
So for my birthday, I guess I’d like a bag of ice. 😭

Why Seattle arts ticket sales are down nearly 25%
Since the pandemic hit, people haven’t returned to theaters, concert halls and museums as often as before. But some are betting on this season to turn the ship around.

So in the Gulf of Mexico context, removing defunct oil rigs actually destroys a lot of reef habitat & prized fishing sites. : /
And since these rigs are on the northern end of a lot of corals' range, keeping them in place (and cleaning up surrounding waters) can help species survive heat waves.

Censoring Anne Frank’s diary because of ‘sexuality’ is a smokescreen
There are efforts to silence Anne Frank now as she was silenced in the past
