My reflexes are very good when it comes to catching little kids who are about to fall down the stairs.

They are terrible at all other times, I am particularly bad when coffee is involved. All my research is covered in coffee. I stopped even trying to catch my coffee cups because I just end up hitting the cup and throwing it across the room making the mess worse.

This is why felicity got me a metal spill-proof coffee mug. It is covered in dents.

@carboys_bot may have gotten a little carried away there for a second.

I went to search for the blackness of my soul, but then when I found it it turned out to be more of a beige with some orange polka-dots.

I don't think I do the dark and mysterious thing very well.

Should I go into work today or should I stay home and see about working from here?

I am sitting in the chair so now Javert can eat. This is important.

Javert says good morning and asks if you have any food for dog.

I am back in Paris where mis doggins is sitting on my lap trying to keep me from doing work.

I am ok with this, I missed her.

Every time I go on a rant over on mastodon.social I get more followers.

This makes me worry a bit.

Javert says woof

I may make a policy to block anyone who just talks about how mastodon is going to fail. Cuz that shit is boring and almost all of the toots about it I have seen use invalid premises.

I think the allergies are trying to kill me.

Stupid allergies.

I am not dead yet, just back in Paris and tired. Sleep time now.

I keep forgetting that I am tooting from two separate instances for two separate things. I would say that I hope it isn't confusing for people but I am a jerk so I just find it amusing.

The windy beach was predictably cold, so we had donuts and were glared at by deer and seagulls for a bit. Now I am back where it is warm and there is mastodon.

@gothangelic just walked in, held up a thing and said 'This is a woodcock'

That is all.

As a reminder, people are very different.

There are things that you think of as being absolutely essential to being a person that other people just don't have.

And there are things that you lack that other people consider absolutely essential to being a person.

This generally shows up in assumptions about what it means to be a person that we don't even realise we are making.

I have been dealing with both sides of this a lot lately.

I really don't like the idea that I may have a better understanding of empathy than some other people because I am so often bad at it.

But then I keep seeing people having trouble with the idea that there may be someone out there that is different than they are and just can't seem to process the idea.

I always feel incredibly arrogant when I say things like that.
