I'm not normal. I know it. I don't care.

Hi. I occasionally do productive things, but I mostly just shitpost and boost stuff.
🔸 Cut back on social media use (I recognize the irony here)
🔸 Write at least one short story
🔸 Work on my OCs
🔸 Start drawing again
🔸 Start pixel arting again
🔸 Work out (or at least move around) more than I currently do
🔸 Read more books and less Internet
I'm going to share this on the ForkTogether discord, but I want to make it public!
It's recently come to my attention that Gargamel (in the smurfs) is an Antisemitic stereotype. So I will be refraining from using the gargamel/smurf memes in future connection with the Fork stuff, or anything really.
I'll actually entirely be refraining from using the nickname in the future.
Happy Murrica Day! 🎉
Too hot. Need sleeps. 💤
A realisation:
When an 'application' is no longer 'a piece of code on your computer that you may or may not have the source code to', but 'code and data running on someone else's computer that might even be in a different country'...
... suddenly the argument about 'should data be owned by applications for safety, or should it be owned by the operating system for interoperability' becomes no longer academic.
If data is owned by 'applications', it's not owned by YOU. It's not on YOUR computer.
i dont know where i first heard it, but i really like the term social interaction networks rather than social media. take back the language. we're aren't media and relationship building isn't marketing.
LB: I switched over to the Stylus extension because Stylish got sold off. Glad to know I made the correct decision.

Wow. Checked my Outlook email address for the first time in a week or so and saw that a newsletter I subscribed to had unsubscribed me from it for not opening any of the emails in recent weeks. And that email had a snippy little passive-aggressive “fuck you” message about the unsubscribing, too.
What the fuck.
“[T]here are a bunch of small parts of our daily routine which are doing really important work for our wellbeing. […] It’s useful to think of these things as *load-bearing*.”

I think I've posted this before, but it bears repeating. This is a free plan with detailed instructions on building a 160sq/ft (~14.86 m) structure that will work very well as a long term #tinyhouse
It's possible to build these types of shelters inexpensively and securely and in large numbers
Build a few of these and you've got yourself a small village that's easy to support with solar power. Each one has enough roof area to support reasonable power needs
Someone needs to make a decentralized Tumblr soon.

This is fucking beautiful. A #pdx carpenter union member is at #OccupyICEpdx offering union positions to ICE agents willing to quit their jobs.
