Soo I’m going to see APC in June and I am so unbelievably excited! 🤩

Ugh, NDT kinda irks me. The only thing worse than a scientist who doesn’t care for philosophy is a scientist who derises philosophy as not useful and philosophers as wasting their time. Especially when the philosophy of physics is right there as a long standing and fruitful field of research.

Since I haven’t streamed in a fair few years now I plugged my stream deck into my mac instead of my gaming PC and my only question is why didn’t I do it earlier 😅

My slump is starting to lift I think. I just need to get through this turbulence and start rebuilding my life on the other side. Inertia is hell.

I looked at my Huel bottle precariously balanced on the drainer from across the kitchen, and as I imagined it toppling over it actually did in the precise way I thought it would, which was awesome.. but now I have to live with the crushing reality that I am not *actually* telekinetic.

My lil guy is staying with me tonight and on his way to school this morning he posted himself some candy through my door to eat when he gets home, and I think that’s just the cutestt hing ever ☺️

Wolfram really irritates me. He’s so.. condescending. Interrupts Donald Hoffman part way through illustrating an analogy with “yeah yeah I know I did particle physics as a kid” before going off on his own tangent. I couldn’t handle that for long without an aneurysm.

I preferred it when edgelords were just eye rolled idiots in pubs, before social media made them think they’re smart and/or funny.

I was being silly and I told my 5yo to swap his arms and legs (because he wasn’t really listening to me) but he misheard and thought I said cross his legs, to which he replied “no because then they’ll look like an X and pirates will dig them up” 😂

Looks like I’m going to be evicted after all. I’m so done.

My 5yo, randomly out of nowhere: “If Goldilocks had Netherite armor she could take down the 3 bears..” 😂

Still struggling my way out of this slump.. flailing about like I just walked into an old shed full of spider webs 🙃

Fuck.

Completely unprompted and out of nowhere, my 5yo: "If you had a butt crack in a butt crack, poo would go out one and in the other..”

Disabled people giving everything we have just to only drop 7 of the 10 balls we’re juggling: Ableist people: If you could just try a little harder you'd inconvenience me less.

I’m not great and my ex seems determined to make me feel worse about it 😔 Everything would be so much easier if people understood disability. Not even to understand the specifics of any disability but to understand it’s not a choice and most of our suffering comes from people not realising this.

Fuck you, Brianna Wu.

Laying on the sofa while my 5yo randomly feeds me skittles. Not sure why I deserve it but I’ll take it 😆

In shocking news, Reform voters are exactly what you think they are.

@joel.drapper.me at the risk of repeating myself Phlex is just *so* friggin’ good. Obvious benefits aside, like testability, components that feel like components, componentised views from the ground up, etc. it’s hard to appreciate just how natural it feels doing the HTML in Ruby, until you do..

👆🪁🤪

Not usually in my wheelhouse per se, but holy shit the second movement is 🔥

I take exception to Sabine Hossenfelder saying that kids don’t really understand jokes until they’re like 9 or 10 or something.. my (now) 5yo would beg to differ! He not only gets them but he cracks his own 😆

Holy cow btw there are some really surprising correlations in this one.

Alternate headline: Petulant man child is afraid his shitty takes on Israel and Palestine might affect ticket sales on their first tour in 7 years. Fuck you Thom Yorke, and fuck you Radiohead. (I was a fan until “some fucking people” 8 years ago)

Case in point.. I just had a brief moment of minor panic where I thought I’d somehow sliced my finger wrapping presents.. but it was just a piece of tape 😂

This evening I'm learning about the the minimalistic CPT-Symmetric Universe from Latham Boyle and Neil Turok 😅

Huh, E8 theory is pretty interesting.

My favourite incense is no longer for sale 😱

Holy cow Lando, what a lap! 🏎️💨

Is there anything cooler than a Venjent dance party with a nearly 5yo? 😆

On Monday my 4yo is going to be a 5yo.. he’s not allowed to get bigger make it stop! 🥺

I’m 100% in 😂

🤪 my ADHD is in full swing today. Just discovered that instead of charging my iPad for the last couple of hours I’d actually just plugged my laptop into my desk’s USB-C outlet.

Having those overwhelming RSD feelings again. So hard to describe. Like an indeilible stain on your soul that precludes you from being.. I don’t know.. anything more than a soul with a an indelible stain by virtue of being me? There’s nothing anyone can say or do, it’s just there until it’s not.

The exact wrong time to discover you’ve somehow cut your finger under your nail is when you’re eating an orange 😬

Run by Your Party transphobes from Scotland @yourparty.scot.

I love carbonara so much it might actually be a sin 😈

Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium

*goes to kitchen to fill new vape bottle* *gets to kitchen but forgot vape bottles* *comes back to get vape bottles* *goes back to kitchen with vape bottles* *forgot why I’m there despite holding vape bottles* Oh, just me doing me things 🤦🏼‍♀️

PSA for those who didn't know, the ALTNPS account is a grift, but there are legitimate altGov accounts and they'll have the altgov.info suffix here (almost exclusively, I think Aden touches on one that doesn't)

Oh no. What a shame.

You know Darth Vader, right? (wtaf?)

My back has gone again 😭

Seems indulging procrastination the past couple of days really worked; this evening was super productive 😅

This last project I thought I’d try sticking to the default Rails stack as much as possible just to see what happens and how far I get before I get frustrated, and it’s been pretty good even without RSpec. But fixtures.. I just can’t stop hating fixtures.

Pretty sure Sophia keeps doing this just to keep me on the 80’s binges 😅

I just got a letter through the door from the police to say that this is being investigated and treated seriously, and that they are looking for those responsible, and asking for witnesses of this and similar incidents, so that’s good 😅

I’ve been told it’s because I don’t really listen, but I think it’s because I don’t really listen.

C’mon Kat, get off your butt and stop circling the slump 🤦🏼‍♀️
