chronic illness
The first thing you're warned about by others when you develop a chronic or long-term illness is that people will forget you.
They don't mean to. We call them social cues for a reason. People often need a hook to get to thinking about someone, an excuse to contact them. We can all kinda keep up with injuries or acute illness because there are known dates and timeframes involved. Here's when to send flowers, here's when to drop off food. When you ask how they're recovering, you expect some sort of motion.
When you're sick on a more long-term basis, I guess you stop reaching out because you run out of things to talk about... "that fresh pillowcase sure was nice," "I liked today's third random movie better than the fourth." It's difficult to make new friends or sweet-talk existing ones into new, easier forms of communication without the energy to connect over a shared interest or ability to sustain a real-time conversation. You want company and friends, but it's hard to get people to engage open-endedly and asynchronously. They'll think you are tired and want to be left alone. But what you'll want is comfort and certainty in your connections.
Anyway I have no real point; it's just sad and it's universal. And a lot of people with chronic illnesses are still on full lockdown and lonely or have newly become ill without the benefit of the social support they'd ordinarily have to adjust to drastic changes in lifestyle or ability.
If you are lucky enough to be healthy and want to do something really awesome for someone who isn't, put someone you care about who you know is ill in your calendar and reach out consistently. Send them regular little notes about what is new with you, send uber eats to their door with breakfast on weekends, suggest something for their reading list or just send them some books if they're able to read comfortably, ask if you can pick up anything for a hobby they can still enjoy while you're out, send them a copy of the photos you take that are fun or pretty that you're not putting up anywhere.
Anything. Just... make it recurring. Each text or DM or "I saw this and thought of you" is a treasure.

“User Interface”? You mean clicking randomly on the ⁝ and ☰ and ⚙️ buttons trying to figure out what's in each one?
Anyone else here consistently refer to Krazy Glue as "the Kragl"?

the JWST is just spoiling us
in a few weeks the headlines will be like "NASA CLOSE TO CONFIRMING PROOF OF DARK MATTER"
next week will be "DARK MATTER MAY HAVE HIVEMIND INTELLIGENCE"
week after that "DARK MATTER'S NAME IS KEVIN, HE'S A LIBRA, AND HE THINKS YOU'RE A PRICK"

Images, fantasy humans/humanoids, eye contact
No new pencils today, #drawings were all inks. Two ghouls, a noble warrior and a semi-feral; a selection of rogues; mounted wizard with a companion/apprentice and a batch of wizard portraits.

JKR, +
"A super-embarrassing moment for JK Rowling: entire set of her first edition, autographed Harry Potter books went unsold at Christie's auction house."
And that's after JKR had retweeted news of the auction taking place. =:)

Hey, the nice thing you're not doing because you'd feel guilty because stuff is undone, or it serves no purpose other than making you happy, or it isn't furthering a goal
You should do it

The ninth annual international Gender Census 2022 is now open until 13th August 2022!
https://survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

non-binary culture is never remembering the order of the colors of the flag
And yes, despite my best efforts, it did export the thing at 1999×1600. Nudging the scale factor from 13.33% to 13.34% resulted in a size of 2001×1601, which can then be trimmed down in "Canvas Size"... with no control over which row and column of pixels will be cropped off.

I heard the announcement on the loud-speaker, sighed, and grabbed a broom before rushing to the produce aisle.
"Shoo!" I said firmly, shaking the bristles in what I hoped was the correct direction.
It wasn't.
I squinted, eventually perceiving a shimmer and a faint neigh with the clop of dainty hooves. A carrot levitated and began vanishing in loud crunchy sections.
"No! Hsst!" I chased the unicorn confidently out to the parking lot.

my observation of my own brain is that I have to be able to finish something in two weeks before I lose interest forever. each unfinished project is just an opportunity to learn speedrun strats for next time

there should be no guilt in unfinished projects. you can always go back to finish it later. and even if you never do, it was still good practice for the next project!

Image, humans, eye contact kinda, injury depicted but not graphic.
#drawing today, fantasy swashbuckling all the way up the stairs, ha ha! Fantasy means I can do a mix of period stuff. Like maybe the Scottish looking guys are city guards or something.
It's time for my favorite pointer-has-been-an-hourglass-for-a-while-now game: "Slow, Broken, or Waiting for Network?"

Getting surprisingly good response to referring to That 70s Computer Typeface as 'Check Routing Number Gothic'.
