When both me and the bf are strangely irritable and unable to figure out most things in front of us today, really wonder if it's something in the air

When you're a kid you never know what the adult world and opportunities are gonna look like. But I think my childhood dreams mapped onto this future would've been somewhere in the Hank Green to Ninja Brian spectrum

Again, we need to get away from corpos period. There's never been laws protecting the way we use these services & the more investors they want, the less we fit the plan. Protest buys time, but that's it. The cycle of migrations will continue until we finally learn we need our own infrastructure

Dunno if I wanted to hyperfocus like this today, but I got some streaming stuff set up that's a pain in the ass but will make multiplayer streams a lot more interesting and better produced. I prefer those kinds of streams for sure, solo streaming isn't my favorite.

Iron lung was decent. I could pick at it for sure, but was happy to support it. Good to see a lot of people in the seats in week two

Sometimes you want to share a win, but you start putting it into words and it suddenly seems too small or too complicated. Instead: yay me I did a thing

It's sunny when I'm done with work, and it's now the weekend. Ahh this feels good

Postal code in Didsbury AB: T0M0W0. When you send something to didsbuwy, they'll get it tomowwow uwu

You know it's over when you scroll bsky discord and telegram on the PC then pick up your phone and start the same rotation as if it'd be any different

Still on standby for raiding, but to keep from falling behind too much I'm hopping in for a few minutes tonight for an m9s gear funnel Since I'll be on the stream for a bit, needed a matching portrait by @tigerinspace.bsky.social and get a look at that cheeky cat :3

omg cat, don't put my mouse up your ass I have to touch that No I'm not kinkshaming you, I'm just regular shaming you (Just life with a cat things)

Figured it out: most xiv grindy stuff requires other people more than wow's does, or the solo options are disadvantaged past my limits. Yes it's an mmo, but my brain doesn't care. grind mode is just for me

Not sure why but this weekend my brain finally adjusted to the changes I've been making. It's a normal weekend but today's felt like I've been on vacation for a week and still have a week left

Since we're probably cutting the US portion of the summer trip to the west coast, looking more likely we'll do Fureh after all. Probably go to Vancouver right before or after the con

I used to love artsy movies but haven't seen many since the up-its-own-ass travesty that was Birdman. Went to see Resurrection tonight not knowing anything about it, and damn it got my brain going. All the old textual interpretation circuits from school I haven't used in a decade, it felt great!

Happy 13th birthday old man :0

Interview jumpscare this morning, but it went as well as it could. It's basically me with internal knowledge, usable ideas and general dev experience vs two others without internal knowledge/insights but way more specific dev experience. Will know by end of week :0

We should always be improving where we can, always striving to be better than yesterday Me, I'm working on taking the weed oil and just vibing instead of being all "wow I'm so high right now" about it

If you have any questions for someone, ask! :) You will get an answer to your question faster and even save time 💙

Hiring manager had a health issue unfortunately, no interview today. I had a courage shot of brandy for nothing! 😆

Ohhh I'm burning out with all the interview prep at the same time as calorie restriction and new exercise routines. that's why the brain fog Best preparation now then: carb load & do jack shit. No more studying, the interview will be what it'll be at this point

Seeing why I always fill my time with commitments. Without any, I'm starting to feel kinda lost, constantly checking apps. Obviously miss the connection of those commitments, but since they pile up too easily I'm being careful. Too careful, but i don't know the sweet spot yet

(A newer player with only one tier done) I check The Balance and try to understand all the reasoning. But so far the rotations haven't flowed right for me. I have to change them to something that flows, then do small tweaks over time to get closer to the ideal. haven't reached it yet

Using only images, explain how you became a furry

People talk about brainrot, but i really think Microsoft's version of English in their training words is make my brain not work much fasterer no joke

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42 and post the second sentence. "Play with firm fingertips" 🧐

(Studying for the job interview on Friday) ok Microsoft, you dont have to have a triplet, a group of three things, or a tripartite example in every single sentence. You can talk like a normal person, write conversationally, and have sentences with only one topic to be understood better you know

Turns out they've been quietly working on getting an exception to interview me anyway and that's now Friday morning 😮 Also already sent a list of things I can do to improve my chances if I don't get it this time, which I'm not sure is a good sign but it's helpful lol

Curse XIV's Urianger for using such old words that never work in the game Spelling Bee

Some days i wonder if my brain is going Yesterday, moving cables from work laptop to my pc: "don't forget to put the laptop in the backpack" [immediately forgets] Today: wow I'm making such good time this morning! At work early, ready to go! [opens backpack] ...🙃 Not the first time either

Glad I'm remembering not to make decisions while off vyvanse on the weekends. Was getting all depresso-grumbly about various things and about to put some feet down, but instead I'll write those down and look again midweek to see how they feel

Me and @tannyk.bsky.social should probably decide what our anniversary is. Everything just kinda happened, there's really no date that you can point to and say that's when

I appreciate my @tannyk.bsky.social dragon who chooses to appear in cat-dragon form most times (why not be both the best and second best things at the same time?)

OK some modifications to make this more sustainable. Stretching's gonna go, that's not my goal rn. It'll come back at target weight. For weights, arm day is good, core day feels like a slog (leg day is split between the two). Gonna go easy on core until I can figure out the problem, but still do it

I've been sticking to the new physical activity routine this week. Don't have energy for much else after exercise and work tho. Hoping there'll be spare energy again after an adjustment period :0

Went to a new pharmacy, had to give them insurance info. The cards are on an app but their computer was in the back so they grabbed my phone and went away to do data entry I tell you there is no greater fear than a furry's phone leaving their sight

The showers at the gym were off due to Calgary's issues and it's now everyone on this train's problem :3

People I know in Seattle: if we took a trip to Vancouver in July or August, would you be able to pop up to Van for a day? Is there a day of the week or a certain week around then that'd work better for that? Just don't feel safe crossing the border as a gay with a canadian partner rn

First workday after getting off caffeine again and istg guys, I have so much time in the morning now With caffeine habit: time flies, don't get half the shit done I want to, then it's time to start work Without: everything gets done with time to spare Maybe my brain is hooked up backwards 😆

XIV : Haven't officially restarted raiding yet but to be sure I'm ready to go when time to sub in, @panderpzack.bsky.social pulled me into M9S & we got it! The rotation adjustments I've been doing are paying off & there's more work to do to make it better. Still, best log parse I've had, 58%

OK finally feel like everything's readjusted to healthy diet again. The last few days of grump posts should be over now :D btw total change of subject, if you're in Calgary you should go to the new udon place at Crossiron. It's really good

With all the routine and diet adjustments during this week off, need another vacation to recover from this vacation 🪦

Would be nice if there was an easy way of transferring money between me and my family in the US that isn't PayPal. Seems like every time I go in that app it's even more bloated and harder to find the simple things you want to do. And no I'm not interested in cr*pto options

I dunno why Twitch streams are so much quieter than everything else on my PC. Finally giving up, turned up my main volume and will turn down absolutely everything else individually.

Sore from the gym yesterday and did off-day exercises and stretches today and Monday. It's good but my body is scared and confused by the sudden change. A lot of anxiety today

Calgary water restrictions, you dont phase me, I've been taking 3 minute showers since 2002 :0 (Except I cry having to cut out the extra laundry rinse cycle and muscle memory ruins "if it's yellow let it mellow" every time)

tenpages.github.io/us-level/us.... How I interpret: 1) Drove through or landed at an airport but don't remember leaving the car/airport 2) I remember leaving the car/airport 3) Left the car/airport for something/someone that wasn't food/bio 4) Fell asleep & woke up here 5) My bedroom was here

Actually did everything in the daily routine for the first time in a very long time, including exercises. Do that all this week, then add the job back in next week and keep it up, and everything's the way it should be~ Tomorrow's a gym day. Gonna actually fr

On one hand, theoretically I really like how all content in XIV continues to be relevant. Nothing wasted, everything you learned can still be applied. On the other hand as a newer player, it's fucking exhausting having to catch up on absolutely every raid ever

Nice walk yesterday as I start a week off. Focusing on bringing back exercise habits like Sunday walls with all this free time. Just walking an hour was some of the most exercise in the past 2 months, definitely needs to change. Couldn't have asked for a better day to change it :3
