journaling software question 

A clue is this isn’t a problem for anything with a draft mode (email, Gdrive documents, etc), but is when trying to make long thoughts work in media expected to be synchronous. So that might be a clue that some kind of easily accessible scratch drafting space would be what I’m looking for?

journaling software question 

What are folks’ preferred journaling software programs? Bonus points from folks that are used to managing mental spirals and really long thought debris that take a lot of words to unpack.

I tend to be way too verbose at people when I have complex thoughts to unpack, and I want a way to manage getting to the tl;dr version better. Scrivener and Emacs Org Mode (my usual go-tos) don’t shape themselves too well to that, but I can kind of make them work if needed.

uspol, epiphany, musing about news of the day 

I think this may be one of the reasons the wheels are coming off now, as opposed to two years ago. With power on the other side of the aisle, soliciting silence just became much more expensive. And it seems they didn’t update their corruption to cover for it.

Huh.

uspol, epiphany, musing about news of the day 

Y’know, it never occurred to me that these folks would just... try to rely on a system of bribes and hush money payments to keep their empire duct-taped together.

I get the control over the narrative. But the numbers seem weird: they value silence at an annuity of $15k/mo (source: some of the earlier court filings, plus Corsi court filings). And that... doesn’t seem scalable, when insights into DC corruption are generally on the order of millions+.

An illustration for Lizard Shack on FA! It's rare I get to do 2 character pieces with a background so this was really refreshing to work on.

If Hbomberguy's stream touched you in a meaningful way, consider supporting @QuestForTori and her game 'Secret Little Haven' available on itch and Steam ! It tells the story of a trans girl living on the internet in the turn of Y2K.

thoughts about hbomb and the fundraiser 

cool. seeing lots of takes. and i'm fucking tired and burnt out on this place. my only take about the hbomb stuff?

it shows that there's a groundswell of people who care enough about trans people to throw money, the lifeblood of our capitalist society, at helping trans people in a far more direct way than posting shitty thinkpieces.

as trans people, we tend to condemn cis people who don't understand, noting understanding is their work, not ours. then, when they try to understand, we tend to default to criticizing that as performative. this is fucking bullshit imo.

i really can't bring myself to believe, logically, that this whole thing is performative. for me, as a trans person, this whole fundraiser is giving me an amazing feeling. it seems like, maybe, random people are just starting to not default to hating us.

it's not ideal – ideally, it wouldn't be necessary. but it's setting up a strong precedent for 2019. a really fucking strong one.

We reinforced the gaming table, and it is now unexpectedly acoustic. I didn’t know drum tables are so saaaatisfying.

starting Warframe over on the Switch 

I missed the transfer window for my old PC profile, so I’m starting over fresh on the Switch version. And, holy heck has everything gotten polished and extremely pretty since I last played.

Time to go out to the plains and have a blast.

Sigh. That extension that lets you tag social media profiles as trans-friendly so they appear as a different color in your browser to you is 95% assuredly a data mining operation.

Please don't use it. If you do, don't tag me in it.

warframe, old hardware 

Update: it’s just barely playable. On the other hand, it plays _great_ on one of our Wavebirds, so that’s going to be a thing.
