In the meantime, this year has sucked a LOT financially for me, and if you can help me out I'd really appreciate it. (And thank you if you already have <3) #transcrowdfund

I'm looking for work in #webdevelopment/#devops. If you know of a job opening that I might qualify for, or if you need work done in that area on a freelance basis, please let me know.
Here's my resume: https://github.com/joyeusenoelle/Resume/

Woo time to make an Amazon wishlist because I definitely *will not remember* what to order once I actually have money for clothes.
And I know Amazon is terrible, but going clothes shopping IRL is so much worse.
I worked 14 hours at my second job last week, which is the most I've worked for them so far! Gosh, maybe I can afford some new clothes soon. :D

Anyone in SF Bay Area looking for a job in the crypto space? We’re hiring Frontend Engineers, Product Managers, Blockchain devs & interns. HMU if interested.
I should really find some music that was made after 2007 to listen to.
Gronlandic Edit remains the most relateable and catchy song about being an anxious weirdo that I know.
Weekends: The time for catching up on my admin work, and also finding time to do beauty things. First: skincare; then: nail polish!
**EDIT**
It would be wise for us all to meet in a neutral public location, at least until we've gotten to know each other!
Here's a link to a Bay Area Fediverse Meetup that I previously didn't know existed:

Who likes the idea of a Bay Area Masto meetup?
I would like to schedule one for several weekends from now.
I can host a relatively small group (6-7 people besides myself, max) or we can meet up at some central food establishment.
Please respond to give me an idea of the level of interest!
Do I pay $5 to cross the bridge to go to Daiso now or just go tomorrow?
CW: Family, IED
My poor mom just sent me a link to a wikihow article for "Dealing with People with IED" (Intermittent Explosive Disorder).
It makes me sad because that's definitely what my Dad has, and also her looking up on wikihow to figure out how to handle it just makes me want to wilt.
@vahnj Is awoo.space set to the Queen's English? I keep getting spell check for American spellings of words like "flavor" and "honor". Not a problem, I'm just curious!
Hi friends! I took a nap and now I'm back. Woo~
I took almost this whole week off running because I was sick. I'm going to start up my "16 runs in 4 weeks" plan again tomorrow though, in the hopes of earning my reward of dance classes.
Anyway, what's everyone up to today?
“The fact that we’ve allowed young children to escape with highly classified alien life forms this many times is an embarrassment, frankly,” Stevens added.

I think the only thing that hasn't changed in the last ten years is that The Onion continues to be good.

so, mastodon users, how does a computer work? heres a helpful analogy i came up with a while ago:
the CPU (the BRAIN of the computer) takes data from the RAM (kinda like the computer's BRAIN) and stores it on the hard disk (which can be thought of as the BRAIN of the computer)
On Ready Player One (no cw, just behind cut)
From an article (cited below):
"It simply constructs a world around the reader, where his comfort zone, his passively acquired knowledge of retro video games and Star Wars, is enough to effortlessly make him a Great Man of History. A fantasy this mundane is barely a fantasy at all — just a desire to be unjustly rewarded for mediocrity. "
And suddenly I understand the appeal, and it also makes me a little sick.

Several of my IRL friends are really into "Ready Player One".
I haven't read it myself, but I've only heard bad things about it online.
What should I do when my friends start preaching its virtues?
