Ah, yes. "Two Clicks, One Coupler."

@Flipp@snouts.online This is warmth and acceptance incarnate. Just two bun friends side-by-side. Aloaf, not aloof. So good. 💜💜🐇🐰💜💜

@websterleone
No suns, no moons
At morn nor noon
Do dawn...
No spy, no earthly view
No distance glance askew.
No top to any steeples,
No tented spires of far too cool neeples,
No courtesies for showing 'em—
No knowing 'em!
No traveling at all, no locomotion,
No inkling of their sway, no notion—
"No go"—by band or ocean—
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comforting squeeze
Hearts in penumbra...

Novembra!

@orrery She left it flat,
And with its hat
She went gallumphing back.

body pain question 

@porsupah @BestGirlGrace@social.illegalpornography.com Happy to help if I can, but I can't see the question. I'll answer second-party hypotheticals, if privacy is a concern...

For some reason, user icons haven't been loading on awoo for me for days, intermittently. Effectively, all my friends have left. o.o I mean, they're still there, probably. In the blocks of monochrome text with funny, seasonal names I don't recognize.

Somewhere.

@zoe I like it! I also find it amusing that the inverse is *also* a worst license condition, ie "1. You MUST use this for ALL purposes". Accepting this license means that
(Eg.) 'HorribleGoose.exe' is now your new TCP/IP stack, window manager, spline reticulator, web browser, 3D model slicer, document viewer, floor wax and dessert topping. Please click HONK' to continue.

@Canageek@cybre.space Yeah, they're all over the place, furries.

Work (! +/-) 

So, upshot: new toy at work. Should be trained on it shortly. Should be producing wood involute clockwork shortly thereafter in my copious spare time. n.n

Downshot: had reason to ask a coworker if he was familiar with the "Forklift Driver Klause" safety video. He was! Which was good, given he was reenacting part of it...

re: lady stuff 

@angrboda As a probably neigh-complete stranger, and hopefully not the mutual previously mentioned, geeze I'm sorry to hear you're going through such a clusterfrotz without local support. :(

re: Lyricposting 

@Rewhan@snouts.online I operate an industrial cutting laser for a living. Good thing the fans are loud, or the boss'd be able to hear me singing when he come 'round. XD

And I've breathed the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the gypsum
And it damn near makes you choke...")

mh (discussion, +) 

@kobi_lacroix@snouts.online I suspect nobody really knows? That's part of the charm, we're all making this up as we go along.

Having said that, here's what I've observed and try to follow:

- using a content warning for posts that are about your mental health situation is met with approval. This allows people to judge if they're able to read at this time, come back when they are, or skip if they aren't. It also streamlines the feed by collapsing longer posts. (On some instances it also gives you more characters for your entry, which I find nice for venting, personally)

- subject field often says 'mental health' or 'mh', and then the topic followed by a "status" modifier, and trigger warnings if applicable.

- topic helps readers know if this is going to be a heavy topic, something personal, or something less demanding, like this discussion of format [ie, (discussion)]. You can have as many as you'd like. Can help to focus your thoughts as well as describe what follows.
- modifiers describe your state of mind. - (negative ie. Mood took a turn for the worse, panic attack, intrusive thoughts), + (positive ie. Engaged in self care, took my meds today, used substitute behaviours in place of self-harm), ? (Unsure ie. Something changed in my head and I want to talk about it because I don't know _what_ the heck it means.) Emojis show up often, but they're hit-or-miss due to software reasons.
- trigger warnings. There is some tension around this term, but I'm using it unironically. If you are describing something in the body of your post that you're concerned might trigger a PTSD response in another person - a violently traumatic experience, for instance - put an actual warning in the content warning, so they aren't blindsided by it and can choose to engage or not.

That's what I've got so far, mostly through trial and error.

re: music question/offering 

@zebratron2084 @zx3 ...

...I got one. I mean, ok, it's a mashup, and I suppose the context of this particular video is a sad one, given it's a tribute to the singer.

But I can't perceive it as unhappy, somehow.

Ymmv.

re: adhd, decluttering 

@mk1679_rocket@weirder.earth This advice is solely based in personal experience, as an adult with ADD and hobbies.

Buy large, sturdy stacking plastic tubs with locking lids. I'm partial to Mastercraft Heavy Duty Storage Totes, model 102-L - photo attached. You'll want at least nine.

Put all your stuff in them. Throw away only garbage. Don't bother labelling, sorting or organizing, it's wasted on us. Pack neatly, don't overfill - you'll need to be able to lift these semi-regularly.

When the boxes are full, stack them against one wall, three by three (or more as needed). When you need something, go through each box one at a time, repacking each as you go through it.

If you want to optimize this over time, keep an empty box close to the top: always put the supplies you use back into that box. Check that box first the next time you work on a project: most frequently used tools, supplies and books will gradually migrate there.

Eventually, if you find you never need to open a box in a given year, store it or.reconsider its value to you.

If anybody has a handy cheatsheet of useful VxWorks commands they could point a tired technician to, I should surely appreciate hearing of it...

Happy Bi Visibility Day, Moment. 

The one day of the year all the cuties can see me, and I spend it mostly offline. 9.9

It's been such a long time I *did* anything with my orientation beyond talking.

re: Family, funeral, denouement 

@PhoenixTril You done good. This is the judgement of higher creatures than I: I agree, but I am only the messenger and are as unable to change their minds as you.

Just gonna have to live with their quiet approval and warmth. **such hugs**
