Cut me some slack. My nervous system was wired together by monkeys.

Seattle, donate your webcams & headsets 

Passing this one along from the incident command manager for primary/ambulatory care at Swedish. Apparently there's a headset shortage now.

"If you have webcams and/or headsets laying around and are willing to donate them for the greater good, PLEASE COMMENT HERE OR PM ME. We are currently working out a process for tracking and returning these things after the crisis passes, but true donations will make things much simpler."

I am no longer the Dungeon Master.

I am the Game Hen.

Free music to relax with. 

As the duo 8 Bit Weapon explain:

"We all need to stay safe and relax, with that in mind were are giving away free downloads of both of our C64 relaxation albums Disassembly Language Volumes 1 & 2"

Vol 1: 8bitweapon.bandcamp.com/album/

Vol 2: 8bitweapon.bandcamp.com/album/

I like this stuff. Give it a try!

@xinjinmeng Er....

That last is supposed to be "Electric​&nb​sp;​Keet" but it got auto-parsed. Zero-width spaces to the rescue?

@xinjinmeng My favorite is when a web-form accepts and escapes something in a way that gets passed through systems that just don't understand it.

For example, as a result of my desperate attempts to get my name accepted in web-forms, I've gotten mail and packages addressed to "Electric Keet _", "Electric", and my personal favorite, "Electric Keet".

@Leucrotta Here's hoping it's no worse than a cold! And yeah, I feel like there'll be a lot of healing travel when things stabilize.

Someday I'll figure out how to monetize my ability to grotesquely mistype words, but I still won't because fkuc catpailmsm.

If you like the Moon theme from the NES game DuckTales.... 

@Taylor Yeah. Ugh, I hate when they do that.

If you like the Moon theme from the NES game DuckTales.... 

@kitana I've seen most of the first season, but there are always distractions so I left off there. Now would be a good time to pick back up, though...

@pendragon Perhaps check out linusakesson.net/music/fratres – a talented musician uses (the equivalent of) two Commodore 64 systems to perform the piece, exploring it with the unique timbres one can only find in digital synthesis.

the courtyard of the kaaba almost completely empty is definitely one of the most striking images i've seen come out of recent events

Dry Up and Tumble On.

An NES tune I wrote a few years ago. I think it's the one piece of music I've written that means the most to me, but it's really hard to express why.

covid-19, mental health industry, ~ 

5 fucking years I'm asking therapists if they will do phone sessions bc disability and always get told no, we can't, insurance won't cover it, you need to get out of the house, yadayada yada.

NOW these fucks are asking ME to do phone sessions.

Guess is wasn't so impossible after all.

Y'all know I'm gonna hold this over their heads for fucking ever.

covid-adjacent, uspol, longish 

after this is all over, be sure to remind people, as often as they'll allow you to get away with it, that:

  • telecoms did not need data caps, had plenty of capacity to donate to low-income folks, and were never in danger of going bankrupt because of the lack of data caps or the additional usage

  • folks who work on computers all day can do that wherever computers are; most tech offices are merely trophies to show off to other tech offices.

  • the government wasn't concerned with helping people, it was concerned with helping business. it was people who were helping people and often the government merely got in the way of that.

  • trillions of dollars was found to allocate as soon as they wanted to; every time anyone asks how anything will be funded it's merely to shut down the conversation.

keep a running list of your favorite facts and get them in front of as many folk as you can, as often as you can, and maybe, just maybe, we can get more folks on board for change
