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

It’s 11:40 PM and I really just want fried rice

Google search of the evening: “if all humans on Earth were squished into a cube, how big would it be?”

yesterday: yes, we can throw together two pizzas on premise crusts as a good after-work option, let’s get the groceries

today: it has taken two hours and an emergency run to Bartell for a tiny food processor and half the kitchen is dirty and I’m exhausted and in pain

This is really good pizza though

I use stickers to tell my personal and work laptops apart because they’re otherwise visually equivalent.

To clarify: my personal laptop is unstickered. My work laptop has chibi versions of the draconic part of the Miss Kobiyashi’s Dragon Maid cast.

There is a certain satisfaction in spotting a major tactic on the Shared Chessboard at work (there’s a double-sided sign for whose turn is next) and activating it, putting the side I moved for up by at least the exchange and probably an entire rook.

These cell phone case directions have kind of a groovy beat to them. (Stolen from Reddit.)

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

An overly opaque shielding system produces depression. 0/10 would not recommend for long-term use

Warning note to people who would invite me into their mindscape for the purpose of chanelling another entity that would like to speak to me:

don't, I'm very long-winded and it will take hours

Also apparently I am not actually housebroken

Several of these sheet sets are advertising that they include extra pillowcases. No, see, that is literally the opposite of what I want

Sheets wear out way faster than pillowcases. Sheets are usually sold in sets with pillowcases. I’m low on usable bedsheets again and I have thirty pillowcases. halp

Today is a "feathery non-anthro utahraptor kinda-girl" day, I think

My gender is nonbinary and I feel guilty whenever someone recognizes that, like I am imposing inappropriately and eliciting submission to unreasonable demands

The reason I have an iPhone 8+ instead of holding out for an X: With this screen size and aspect ratio, I can read the cards in Race For The Galaxy for iOS without zooming in. Also in Ascension. Also Through The Ages.

So yeah it’s mostly because I want to play board games on my phone.

Also because it’s a much more comfortable size and aspect ratio for ebooks.

I am a nerd
