Remember when we'd bounce ideas off each other and follow where they went, world-building and character-designing and history-editing and skill-forging, bad puns and worse innuendo and obscure media references and little bursts of things one of us was excited to share with the other because now those facts could live in two heads instead of just the one...
I miss that. I still miss that, and I still miss you.
I know. It's okay. Time's past.
I enjoyed those times with you. Thank you for them.

tldr:
not great
still here
longer version:
resources extremely limited
depth of year-end burnout was perhaps deeper than realized
managing to maintain appearances during daylight hours at work
heavily self-censoring night activity to avoid messy breakdowns
low on meds, trying to get hold of psych, usual difficulties
tired
apologies
our work is never over
Work (30 gigastupids, +/- .5 milistupids)
Today we learned what happens when you never clear the slop out of the bottom out of a new industrial waterjet for over a year, because your manager was told at installation it was 'maintenance free', so he shrugged and threw away those instructions.

@porsupah A little concealer, a little foundation, a silver backplane, vantablack plate delineators and vent ports, UV asset tags and QR codes. Nothing fancy, just to feel like me, y'know.

Anyone have any good info on taking progesterone as part of feminizing HT? All I could find is conflicting documents. Personal experiences with it would be great to hear, too.
@tonyasong Hey. *waves* I'm a total stranger, just wanted to say I've been following from here in Canada for a while, your views and words engage me. I see how it's been a horribly disheartening week, especially the PO Box/Reservation vote negation malarky the US govt. just floated... It's horrifying.
Thank you for helping to spread word to the world: your words *are* being heard, and news is spreading, for what comfort that may give.
I appreciate what you do here.Thank you. 💜

In the spring, we tap the data as it begins to flow through the sugar maple; we boil off the packet headers to make sweet, delicious infosyrup.

Code of conduct
For quite a few years, I was a member of a hackerspace in DC.
In 2012 or 2013, we voted to institute a code of conduct. It passed handily, 2/3 to 1/3.
That last third pitched a fit in the meeting, resigned, threw their keys on the table, and walked out. That was maybe 30 people
The rest of us threw a party after the door slammed.

This seems like a good time for a PSA:
If in the future you see something on a public-facing webpage you want to make a durable record of for use as evidence, don't take a screenshot. Those are -- understandably -- widely considered too easy to fabricate.
Instead, snapshot the page with the Internet Archive. It'll log a timestamped copy of the page to their servers. Highly tamper-resistant.

Vague things on my TL, uncertain dramatics
@Phorm Yeah, I get the same impression and I'm equally at a loss as to what's going on. Perhaps button down until clarity develops.
@JulieSqveakaroo "Oh, I see. Quid pro quo. I'll show you my photos if you show me yours!"
"I.. wh- what?"
"Here. Here's a photo of me showering. With an airhose. How reckless! I don't have any personal protective gear on!"
" (shocked silence) "
"Annnd *here* is a photo of me slipping on the suds. Shoving that nozzle *right* into my bellybutton!"
" ( gasp ) "
"And *here*... well. There's much, MUCH more." *grins* "Your turn. Let's see *your* pics."

@porsupah *snerk* That is one of the loveliest ways of asking if I'm coming to terms with a 'chronically reduced grip strength on reality' that I've ever parsed. 8D
And also yes, I'm making sure my diet includes bananas, potatoes, etc. XD

@Leucrotta Absolutely. **all of the hugging** n.n

@porsupah Sure thing! Thank you for asking. **snugs**
