I'm here to play Civ V and eat chocolates
and I've got like 5 See's truffles so I'm all set
okay. coffee done; time for shower and girding of loins for The Task That Must Be Done Today. otherwise, today is a "do as much as I feel like" day, and today that's a very small amount. :|

Hello. I recently lost my job due to my disability. I'm legally blind and my employer refused to accommodate my needs so I had to quit. I think I will be okay in a couple months, but until then I need to pay the bills. If you are willing and able to help I would greatly appreciate it!
@Jacel @lizmonster I've more than once had it used against me as "if you failed to do something it's obviously because you didn't *try hard enough*," usually by "teachers." which is cruel by any means, but utterly crushing to use on somebody with a depressive disorder. :D which is why I internalized "Yoda is a FUCKING ASSHOLE" at a very early age...

Please be cautious about cross-posting from Twitter. I've been using Mastodon and Twitter both for more than 6 months now, and Mastodon is far less distressing to me. (Other ppl say the same.)
When people cross-post from Twitter without CWs (especially RTs), it starts making Mastodon feel like Twitter.
I don't crosspost, so I don't know what the considerations are, but if you could either crosspost from Mastodon to Twitter, or CW all your crossposts, it would be a huge help.

Was thinking of the old "Do or do not" Yoda line.
On the face of it, of course, it's silly. There is tremendous value to trying. We can learn some excellent lessons from trying and failing. Hell, 90% of #writing a book for me is writing bits that don't work and chucking them out.
Failure is part of the process.
2017 has been...tricky in ways that will make 2018 difficult. But every failure I encounter will reveal a new path, no matter how hard it is to see in the moment.

Knitting database is now up to 165 entries. Number of designs with tentacles is getting alarmingly high. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvcSQFVaaFbsGJ-8q2oOL5KjZG2-_dnKpq44tqREM4lGlTAQ/viewform

Anyways the coolest brain theory for which there is some evidence that I know about is sensorimotor spatial representation (i.e. the idea that space is represented in your brain not as some kind of map, but instead as a combination of sensory input and motor actions, e.g. you know how to get to the supermarket by how it feels to walk there; what you see along the way; ... instead of go left/right at x)
@ThatDamnCat hah! I like it! :D

@Jacel @KawaSeadrake yikes! D: I'll have to dig out the battery lights...
@Jacel @KawaSeadrake yeah... I'm not hearing any sirens, so I don't think it was a car hitting a pylon, or a tree knocking down power lines....
@KawaSeadrake @Jacel I know it's windy, but eeeegh.
uh... huh. just heard a loud *pop* over the sound of the music I was listening to, and the lights flickered. no idea what that was.
... unrelatedly, but triggered by me getting up to look out the window, Nar is now informing me that it's dinnertime. :P

@kara@occult.camp ah, you have reminded me that I had this recommended to me on my trip and I'd intended to give it a try. I'll watch your account for any major recommendations, good or bad. ;)
oh and I am reminded as we were driving home along I5 we passed a rest stop where somebody was making HUGE SOAP BUBBLES and letting them loose to float across the highway--quite high, the lowest was about 20 feet up. they were easily two feet wide, or more. it was confusing, nifty, and very pretty. :D
thinking about how things turn out
@c1t7@vcity.network yesssssss all of this, so very much. every time somebody complains about "but we don't have flying cars!" or "technology hasn't changed anything!" ON THE F'ING INTERNET I have to bite my tongue.
I remember when *pagers* were seriously *hot shit*. I remember the excitement of *car phones*. of the Timex Sinclair. when we had to use the community college *mainframe* to run AutoCAD. *shivers*
