you ever listen to some new music and it makes you want to get up and start walking away and just keep going forever

to bluesky users: fuck ice don't just block the account and move on, bully them off the platform. be relentless if you want to live that mantra

in a stunning update on the "kit is cursed beyond saving" saga: I am officially immune to all sleep aids. none of them do anything. so when the insomnia hits and I have an appointment to make, I'm just screwed this combined with my caffeine immunity is very cool. absolute zero control over my body

a while ago I decided that buying ebooks from mainstream stores is bad, because of the huge cut of that money the author doesn't get it turns out this is WAY worse for audiobooks. authors get 40% _at absolute best_ for those, most often less if your favorite author doesn't have a way to buy […]

got one of my soundproof curtains. turns out I am physically incapable of holding a drill straight anymore, let alone lifting a heavy limp sheet above my head, but my neighbors came over and put it up over my doorframe for me for the first time in years, I'm a little less constantly overwhelmed

had a dream where someone I was following on here had terminal cancer, so we cried about it a little and then ate pizza and that was the whole dream what

you ever think about how ridiculous it is that a 5.25 inch drive bay is actually 5.75 inches wide? 3.5 inch bays are also 4 inches wide why

oh heck its #portfolioday hi yall, i'm sor! i'm a hobby artist that loves my ocs! drawing plants and sunsets is my favorite! this year i want to release more art / info about my ocverse, the abandoned chapel, which follows my ocs through a world of magic, science, and conflict! #oc #ocsky

protogen snacks.

the soundproof curtain for my door arrived and I have been reminded through great pain and suffering that I am completely incapable of any kind of physical labor need to drill holes but I don't even have the strength to hold a drill straight, and the curtain is 8kg of unruly limp mass I can't hold

[free idea] low budget comedy fantasy rpg where you start as the opposite sex what you picked and the whole game is just you trying to fix that by searching the lands for an alchemist who knows what to do (it's funny because everybody is an ally)

the plan I settled on for home server related stuff after many iterations and deliberation was to get seven hp mini desktops and use them as a relatively low power cluster. it was a cheap plan, all things considered. each node was looking like it would be around $450. it was a long term plan. I […]

come, imagine with me for a moment what would a drift car, designed and built from the ground up for drifting at maximum potential, look like? cars aren't really meant to be sliding around corners, so they have no useful aerodynamic properties when they do so. what if that changed?

I had a post in my head but I forgot it, so now this is the post

[perhaps a little bit ranty, perhaps a little bit political] in the spirit of continuing to foster my habit of questioning fundamental things, I'm beginning to question the concept of rights to have rights, it must follow that it is possible to not have them. if rights are given, they can be […]

I believe that I may have finalized my custom license, after forgetting about it for a while and finally checking it again. I'll wait two days to check it again before making the real call though I need it done, and I also need my website redone, so I can post it and use this license on my book

it would be cool and neat to build myself a desk that was full of wires, so I could plug all my peripherals directly into the desk with perfect cable runs instead of plugging everything directly into my computer I actually like the look of cables strewn about, so the real appeal of this is […]

IT'S FLATCAT FRIDAY! ...that being said *this image* specifically I have no idea what it is. #flatcatfriday #paperfellas

09 - Peeky Odette 💜✨ Wonder what is she thinking 🤔❓

lately I have been changing my mind about the common advice "your first [creative work] _will_ suck, do it anyway because you'll get better" what kind of thing is that to say to a hopeful artist? seriously? I used to preach this too, but I can't stand by it anymore, it's just demoralizing isn't […]

here's a thing: I don't understand why flush car door handles are the way they are I get the aerodynamic benefits of course, but why do they have to be motorized pop-out things? why not just flush mount a regular door handle and add a second flap that you push down with your hand to reach the […]

look at my extremely normal and healthy sleep schedule

had a real sicko dream that I don't know how I feel about

lady & lucky

somebody packaged that obs wayland hotkeys plugin I complained about a while ago, which is great, I'm grateful now my problem is finding out that plasma doesn't like setting the same hotkey twice or having multiple hotkeys for the same task, both of which are things I need xwayland forever I guess

I really can't overstate how much I hate seeing how homogenous the idea of "online community" has become. So many of them just being slightly different Discord servers that look fucking identical. "But Volpeon, they have different banners and emojis" OH WOW. A DIFFERENT BANNER. Clearly things […]

What people should do isn't to take communities living exclusively on Discord and move them exclusively to another platform. Chatting should be just one part of a community. Add a forum. Add a website where you can share whatever makes sense for your community. Add a Minecraft server. Have fun […]

you ever catch yourself thinking thoughts that don't feel like they're your own thoughts? and I don't mean intrusive thoughts, I mean fully formed seemingly-conscious thoughts that feel real, and they don't make you recoil in shock, you just go "huh, that doesn't sound like me"

we should invent some sort of device that allows you to press a button and all the Bad Feel get shot out of your body leaving only Good Feel. like the thing on boats you stomp on when the boat is sad to get all the seaweed out of the jet so the boat can be happy again

discord finally did the IPO, huh alright. so where are we going next? will we make sacrifices to adopt an alternative that has less features but is actually resilient? will we return to older tried and true methods of communication like IRC, email, and forums? or will nobody listen again as always

one good thing that has come of my ear problem is that it turns out I actually like using speakers (with subwoofer) instead of headphones. there are many advantages and comforts only issue is that the world is full of noises and headphones were the only thing making that half-tolerable

I really should have just gone to sleep yesterday and finished the book today instead. my body is very mad about this

every time I look at the clock and see 17:00 I think "oh no, the day is almost over" because I never fail to forget that days are actually 24 hours long and not 20

hexagons may be the bestagons, but answer me this what is a hexagon if not six of the strongest shape, the humble triangle?

05 - Sister Odette Thoughts 💜💰 All holy women are the same 😔💦

every so often, I come up with a chapter title or a character name or something and I think "man, that's a good one, I gotta save it for something really special" but that's stupid. there is no rule that says I can't use the same thing more than once across different stories

I regularly forget how much I love the lyricism in avantasia until I listen to it again, especially from the mystery of time onward it's _especially_ lovely after coming off an album with the most dog ass lyricism I've ever heard

I don't like throwing this word around lightly, but this is such a scam, man

first raffle prize for @rkrk.dev of their oc ilia!! had such a blast with this one :> #oc #ocsky #notmyoc

you ever think about how rare it is to see people on the internet say the word rabbit instead of bunny these days

it is monday. I haven't written a word of prose in the last few days, but I _did_ write 90% of a plan for the final three chapters place your bets now on your phones, will I crank out ~10,000 words today and be finished with the book by monday like I said wouldn't happen?

terrible news: I failed to not buy anything during the steam sale. my wallet cries, but cool indie games better news: because I bought less on steam than I worried I would, I also got to order my soundproof curtains annoying news: the soundproof curtains won't actually arrive for a while

you know what? I hope the datacenters _do_ get what they want. let them build their nuclear power plants. all money and no brains means they'll pay real engineers for them that way when the bubble pops, we get to take a bunch of shiny new nuclear plants, then we can decommission all the coal plants
