Queer fat disabled neurodivergent polyamorous antiracist antifascist antiwar nonbinary they/them gender goblin disaster bisexual ex-Texan in the Coast Salish PNW. I’ve been doing social media wrong since before it was invented!
Oh goddamn it. With how they’re treating Black and trans folks, the leadership here is doing a speed run in turning this place into post-Elon Twitter. I thought we’d have more time. Turning my back on all social media and walking into the lake is looking better and better every day.
Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Place names from the frontier days are often inappropriate. My industry often uses geographic features as site names. Today, I performed remote maintenance on a site that fits both criteria, and I am now dead from saying “whiskey dick” in a work-appropriate context more times than I can count. 🥃🍆🤣💀

Just this week I was talking with my partner about the polio vaccination efforts with her chimp colony. She once came to visit my school, and while I was too starstruck to remember a single damn word of our exchange, I do remember her genuine kindness and patience. Farewell to a dedicated scientist.

You are not bad or wrong for wanting to burn the whole f*cking world down, especially when your "fight" trauma response is triggered.
Lots of people probably have no idea how heroically restrained you've actually been this whole time. Respect.

A package was supposedly delivered today, but there’s been no sign of it. Inside is a haint bottle, hand-decorated by a fiction author who is also a spiritual practitioner in New Orleans. I wonder if was taken, and if so, whether it’ll show up on my doorstep later tonight with an apology note?

Shingles vax immune response is no joke, y’all. Two hours later, all parts of my musculoskeletal system are trying to declare themselves sovereign citizens & my glasses are too heavy to tolerate. Going to bed now before Nurse Borkyface starts yelling at me. If anyone needs me, check under the dog.

This is Sera, who unmakes the guest bed to build a nest for supervising my workday, pines & mopes when I leave the house, and if I overdo it she YELLS AT ME and herds me to bed. Even though she lived with him 90% of her life, I should stop calling her my partner’s dog. She says she’s mine now.

Update: Experiments with fluticasone pretreatment still a success, down to 2 layers of tegaderm, no hydrocolloid. My allergy is bad enough that I won’t risk direct contact with the adhesive, but if I can get to 1 layer of teg, I can likely tolerate the newer sensor models with the same prep method.
Success! Skin prep with fluticasone seems to have prevented my usual chemical burn-ish reaction to the sensor adhesive. Today we try again, but with one less layer of Tegaderm. 🤞
New Dexcom recommendation from my med team: Prep skin with a Flonase base layer. I don’t want to change too many variables at once, so I’m repeating the last experiment of intact sensor atop hydrocolloid + 3 layers of Tegaderm. (Don’t develop a medical adhesive allergy, kids.)

I woke up swinging at 3am, ready to fistfight a god & win. In my dream I kept trying to go back in time to save a high school classmate I haven’t spoken to in 30+ years & was never close to. It’d be way too weird to contact them & ask if they’re ok - we’re only connected on LinkedIn, which, ew.

It’s 1am & a small plane is making tight low circles between my house & a nearby municipal airport. Found their emergency # since I’d rather be the 20th person to report a problem than ignore it. I hope this turns out to be a nothingburger & everything turns out ok. 😢

Bad car day. Exploding car a few blocks away at 3am. Used my booster battery 5x because my power issue is still 🤷, & battery had to go in the freezer for a few min because it got too hot at work. Flat tire <1mi from home. Once that’s fixed tomorrow I’m spending the rest of the weekend in bed dammit

Someone in my neighborhood thinks it’s funny to set off an M80 at 3:09 am on a weekday, after which I never really got back to sleep. May they have an uncontrollable mustelid infestation in their underwear drawer and forever reek of weasel piss.

Another grifter who made the lives of me and those I love measurably worse by his toxic influence. May he rest in piss.

Confidential to the male-presenting driver of the vehicle emblazoned with LONE WOLF:

Benefits of having a discontinued car with a loyal following: Owners group forums. I think I’ve finally figured out my mystery electrical issue - a faulty door-open sensor is in conspiracy with a cranky tailgate latch. Literally, my battery is getting tired because my car is butthurt.
