The doctor I’m going to be contacting today is Jonathan Wells who seems pretty good at least on paper but I haven’t heard any specific recommendations aside from seeing him listed in My Trans Health. He checks all the right boxes for me though (apparently 10% of his patients are trans, and he focuses on chronic issues, although I think that might just be HIV/AIDS and not fibro/EDS). https://neighborcare.org/staff/jonathan-wells-md/

While we’re on it, Dr. Fields at Kaiser Capitol Hill is also amazing, but he’s also way too far away, and Kaiser in general is pretty hit-or-miss (especially with chronic disorder shit). And of course Kaiser has strict insurance requirements (namely, you have to be a member of their HMO).

I already know about Rongitsch; I used to see her and she was really good but I had to switch because of insurance reasons and unfortunately she always has an ENORMOUS waiting list, plus downtown Seattle is further away than I want to go anymore.

Basically, I’m in White Center and my mobility/transportation access is limited, don’t make me drive 45+ minutes on the freeway to get to them

Yesterday I had such a bad experience with my doctor that today I’m going to be seeking a new doctor. There was an accumulation of papercuts that was bad enough but yesterday I had an appointment with her which was absolutely AWFUL.

Anyone in the Seattle area know of any good trans-friendly chronic-disorder-savvy general practitioners, ideally in West Seattle or Burien and without a long-ass waiting list?

A vaguely-interactive screensaver which also wastes a crapton of Google's resources, giving people something fun to stare at while funneling money over to the developer and costing Google a lot of CPU capacity. Maybe it also mines crypto idk

@evilchili although a local git workspace would also work well, since I have a commit hook on the repo set to do all the stuff to push everything to the live site (which is common for SSGs as well). But I don't know of anything like that for iOS.

@evilchili Yeah Publ has a similar workflow to Hugo. The main things that annoy me about blogging from iOS are having to ssh in and vi my entries, and the difficulty in adding photos. Both of those are things which could be fixed with a good sshfs wrapper for iOS Files and a local Markdown editor.

@evilchili Oh the other thing that I keep getting annoyed with is not having a reasonable way to scp or sshfs to my server, although that's more a specific gripe of trying to blog remotely rather than doing programming work.

@evilchili So like... iPadOS works just fine with any random Bluetooth keyboard you throw at it, but the physical integration can be really annoying if the keyboard isn't designed specifically to clip to it. The first-party iPad keyboards are great for general typing but there's no Esc key which can get really annoying, especially with vi, and there's no way to remap the capslock key to anything more useful.

@evilchili Depends on how much you'll get annoyed by the keyboard missing a few important keys, unless you go with a third-party keyboard in which case it depends on how much you'll get annoyed at the lack of proper keyboard integration. Also I haven't used blink, but Termius gets really annoying with how much it doesn't try to keep connections open in the background, even over mosh.

The iPad is a quite competent remote terminal in general though.

@Cyannin I was planning on trying a zoodle lasagne as one of the more elaborate things

@srol I actually ended up doing just that but I grilled them instead of sautéeing them, and did strips instead of half-moons. They’re pretty okay!

Anyone have any favorite zucchini recipes? I swear I only planted one small plant

Playing NES tetris for the first time in a long time. Holy heck I'd forgotten just how rough this was compared to modern variants. Lack of 7-bag, no hold slots, and messed up slide makes it incredibly different.

It feels like something's gone very wrong when cast-resin fake wood barrels are orders of magnitude cheaper than actual wood barrels.

So it’s kind of cool how all of the current series are Internet-service first. Somehow they aren’t as good as Enterprise though. Well, except Lower Decks.

When Enterprise first aired I remember it being one of the first times I’d downloaded a video that was in better than 480p resolution, and it was difficult to play it well. I’m pretty sure it was in DivX;-) format because h.264 didn’t exist in any meaningful way at the time.

It was also probably one of the first things I’d downloaded via the then-new BitTorrent protocol.

It’s ridiculous how long ago the last broadcast Star Trek TV series was.

In a way, aren’t mittens a kind of fingerless glove?
