@BigFatFae @vahnj yah. I know somebody who got extremely sick, to the point of having difficulty functioning from exhaustion and malnutrition, who was constantly bombarded with "have you lost weight? you look fantastic!!" while *literally starving*. this culture is a giant bullshit sandwich about weight issues. :|

@aldersprig@tootplanet.space the green claws do the best job of drawing the colors down, and unifying the whole picture, imo.

So I lost my job & UPDATE: now bcuz I lost my job, ironically my unemployment gets taken away which makes my financial situation way more dire. I hate "e-begging" but until I get a job it's a good option.

I'm an Afrolatinx+Disabled+Neurodivergent Trans person in need of financial assistance.

In the US, legal case names in federal civil forfeitures are formulated thus: "United States v. <item being seized>".

This leads to some entertaining case titles. Particularly well-known are "United States v. Approximately 64,695 Pounds of Shark Fins" and "United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls".

@sev@witches.town heh! I had a friend who worked for the company for a while, I once visited him at his office and was very impressed by all the nifty screensavers. XD

In case you didn't know: in "Jurassic Park", when Lex says "It's a Unix system! I know this!", it's not a Hollywood mockup.

What she's looking at is fsn, the File System Navigator, running on an SGI IRIS Crimson computer running the IRIX filesystem. IRIX was a variant of Unix System V with BSD extensions.

LRT: daaaaaamn that's making me weirdly nostalgic. flying toasters! oh jeez I remember being so jealous of people who had that software, it seemed endlessly magical to me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Da I remember Boris! I wanted Boris so much!

Rant about women's jeans 

@mawr I remember reading a big long thing, i think on Birbhellsite, explaining that yes, it's basically misogyny in action, having to do with handbags and women being prevented from carrying much of use by being "ladylike." it's pretty infuriating, and is one of the primary reasons I buy men's cut jeans. :|

the cats got fed earlier than usual this morning so now they're hungry again earlier than usual in the day and they're pestering me about it.
