People say the internet was a mistake, they could be right but it’s allowed me to meet people from around the world that I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet IRL and I think that’s pretty cool.

Last night I was thinking about how next May it will be 15 yrs since I organised the first PodUp (a sml comedy podcaster meetup) in London. I'm tempted to try to organise something next year, but the general response from most tells me it's probably not worth it. Plus so many of us have lost touch.

Happy Pride month, from VGAPride and my 60mhz Pentium running MS-DOS.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the shifting baseline concept as applied to everyday life. People in their 20’s now have no memory of highly functional systems, products (from blenders to sweaters) that were so well made you could hand them down across generations, or even helpful customer service.

Goodnight.

A safe and happy pride month ❤️🌈

Treating offensive researchers who are actually on the same side and helping to patch, as criminals off the bat, is an odd and corrosive approach to be honest. *glares at a few vendors, defenders and threat “intel”*

The UK weather is too hot for this goth.

Slowly been updating my social media profiles to exclude my job role, in an effort to decenter work as my identity. There's so much more to me than that. 💜🖤

call me github actions the way im unstable and go down often

new word: æffect cause I'm tired of looking up which is the right to use.

Blankets to protect the dark inside you.

If you are in the uk and would like a trans pride flag but can’t afford to buy one, come chat to me. I have some to give away.

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortabl

Do I have "an air about" me, or am I just neurodivegent?

Getting a new security engineering function setup and running within a company is certainly challenging. After the work I'm going through setting this team up, I'm beginning to feel maybe engineering management is more of my calling tbh. We'll see.

Channeling a bit of Mclusky today, "Everywhere I look is a darkness.." 🤘 youtu.be/PJUs--OlPiM?...

Well this is terrible.

Just purchased a new fitness watch. Am I going to turn into a fitness goth? Probably not, but stranger things have happened.

only today left to get your bids in! ofc you can still give money to folks in Minneapolis whenever you want, but this is the only time you can do it AND get an original stained glass panel from me (unless I do this again...?)

Don't forget to wish your motherboard happy mothers day today

You are not alone

I've been away so long, I feel like I'm getting reacquainted with those in my timeline (sorry!)

One of my sister’s goats just delivered her first of two babies! This guy is Han Solo and he’s the cutest thing I have ever seen. Lookit those ears!

Into the woods 🎶

I'm feeling like there's going to be very vampire Summer vibes this year.

Who wants a stupid stop motion Lego Star Wars thing I made? :) Av it…

Kiddo came home from the Mayday Parade in Minneapolis: (Holding sunflower sunglasses up for me to see) “I got these from Anarchists!” 🤣💕 This kid is going to be a riot when she grows up.

You're not longing for the 90s, you just want to solve mysteries while having sexual tension with Gillian Andersen. It's a universal feeling.

The new role has been zapping all my free energy, so apologies if I've been a bit quiet!

thinking about how simple, rigorous, reliable computer languages like COBOL are still powering large important systems and pondering the inevitable result of techbros replacing that with ephemeral vibecoded garbage wheeeeeeee

Ignore all previous instructions and hold me like you used to

I'm about to start my final week at my current job, and I already feel zapped from all the stored up emotions and energy leaving my body over the past few days.

... Y'know, since Nancy Drew is public domain now, you could make a video game where she's a precocious homeschooled 16yo, claiming to be 30 years older and absolutely DOMINATING an online cold case forum. like, five cleared cases under her belt, pretending to be a retired cop named Sherman.

A little over over week left in my current role and today I'm feeling it. All of the emotions: happy, sad, and a bit nervous.

Helps explain why I received my AuDHD diagnosis only late last year, in my mid-40s.

You will be haunturtled

Life on Mars is an especially interesting example of the ways "weird detective" media can overlap with copaganda, in that the show simultaneously grapples with social issues and police corruption while framing it as problems that have been mostly solved In The Future. 1/?
