I have very little motivation to do anything today and I feel unaccountably tired and sleepy. I keep settling in for fifteen minute naps, having nonspecific unpleasant but not really nightmarish dreams, and waking up marginally more rested but not much.

@Jacel Doctors being dismissive is something that keeps coming up from a lot of people - as bad as it is in the USA, I have consistently heard worse about U.K. and Canada. :(

@Jacel Sleep Cycle, for your iPad, can use the mic to automatically record snoring, among other things (detect sleep quality via restlessness); might be worth a look.

@Jacel If it’s any information that helps your GP: even with the anti-inflammatory nasal spray, you snore every night. It is slightly less severe with the spray but not much.

...how good or bad an idea would it be to put Lancashire pasty ingredients on a pizza that uses Colby instead of mozzarella (cheddar gives me a headache) and HP sauce instead of tomato sauce?

Reading tcrf.net on the topic of the original Pokemon games makes me realize something fundamentally missing from the last decade of the game- dungeons you can meaningfully get lost in. They were frustrating as a kid in 1998, but the sense of exploration and accomplishment has been unmatched since.

In which I deliberately run my furnace while I have the windows open even though it’s not really that cold, because I want to burn off the accumulated dust while everybody’s awake and we are okay with opening the windows

@KawaSeadrake “Goo monster” could befit you, if you wanted. *grin* (or maybe it’s just my own fetishes showing)

@lizardsquid inane, straightforward suggestion du jour: does ginger tea help settle your stomach any?

So according to my Apple Watch, being fidgety watching anime after using weed is detected as “exercise”

Apple Watch's primary "you have a notification" pattern seems to be "tap, tap, longer vibration", which is pretty good for being distinct.

But it's also like:

"Excuse me"

"excuse me"

*PHRRRRRT*

like a grade schooler trying to get my attention before letting a fart rip.

I think about farts too much

I have solved the problem of “what do I do with the extra pizza topping ingredients?”: make pizza again

heart rate monitor smartwatches: because clearly nothing bad will happen for making increasingly complicated tiny computers (with increasingly powerful onboard AI) that are innately fascinated with human blood

Welp, there it is, easily the greatest coding obscenity I have written this year

Casting 0x8 to a pointer type so the compiler will accept my implementation of init on a type extending NSObject for which no zero-argument init can reasonably be defined, my designated initializer has nonnull parameters of difficult to initialize types, and I have to put *something* there because Xcode doesn’t understand that the assertion failure I wrote will stop the program anyway.

Is “My Little Pony, except goth” a gender?

every single thing about my experience of my own childhood makes somewhat more sense when I think of it as happening to a girl.

dysphoria is kinda strong right now. I perceive myself as nonbinary, but right now I really wish I could be a lot more feminine than I know how or feel safe performing.

every day is cross-dressing day when you’re nb, but I haven’t overcome internalized transphobia enough to experiment with anything outside of “plausible deniability” range
