Today’s story is from @makyo's collection A Wildness of the Heart, which you can find at wildness.makyo.ink. Her writing is available at makyo.ink, where you can find stories, poems, and books to purchase or read for free online.
So back in community college for my English 102 course our big project was a research paper on the life of an author, pretty standard stuff. I chose Oscar Wilde because why WOULDN'T I? I got real hyped for the paper, went to the library, grabbed every book they had on him, went to Barnes and Noble and bought a couple books of his work. Walked into class the next day and told my professor "I got EVERY book I could find on Oscar Wilde! :D"
He later told me that in the other section of the class someone had also chosen Oscar Wilde and walked in and told him "Someone checked out EVERY book on Oscar Wilde! D:"
Uhh my #introduction I guess. Hi I'm an autistic transfem that codes and plays videogames, shocking I know.
Currently slowly working on my computer engineering degree, but aside from that I also like reading sci-fi, some anime, and have an interest in firearms, FOSS development, aviation, and tearing down capitalism.
I'm told I can be an unhinged chaos gremlin at times so don't expect any consistency, but I will try to cw tag everything correctly. Cheers! ![]()

it's a weird year
Found something remarkable (and also quite sad).
In 1997, Wired published "The Long Boom", a hyper-optimistic article about how we'd achieve Utopia by 2020.
The authors included notes on some "scenario spoilers"—negative events that might send is in a worse direction.
...and those spoilers turned out to be almost spookily accurate.
Hey, I have suffered debilitating side effects from anti-depressants for the last 3 months. I seem to be finally out the other end, but during this whole time, I have been barely able to work, so I've had a bunch of commissions pile up and not much in the way of being able to stay afloat.
Thanks to everyone's donations through this, I am currently still able to eat and stuff, but right now, I am behind on this month's bills by £250. Any help would be greatly appreciated, hopefully things won't be like this again next month.

Financial help request
I feel really bad about having to do this yet again, but I'm really short on rent and other upcoming bills. I'm finally adjusted to my meds, but they were kind of expensive and that adjustment took a long time, so I got really behind on work... That shouldn't be a problem anymore. I feel like I'm finally healing from a lifetime of untreated ADHD but I really need this one last push and I know I can start getting myself together.
paypal.me/NagaConnie anything helps ♥
discoverability algorithm meta
i don't mind discoverability algorithms on sites like youtube or tiktok where people specifically go to consume or push content
but they are not very good for forming healthy and cohesive connections with other people, which i feel like microblogging should really be centered around
if you believe otherwise well, there are definitely sites out there for you. but fedi does not need any disco algos and it's not a failing for them to not exist here
