It's been very busy for a while but looks like I'm getting things under my control. How are y'all doing?

For me, Mastodon is like the calm lakeside you go when you wanted to get some rest and quiet time. Hope it’ll stay that way.

I can’t stand my country, Turkey, during the election times*. Stupidity levels goes over 9000. Seriously considering going off grid.

*: Unfortunately this is the sixth one in the past four years.

STOOTUS: My brain and my laptop does not function properly, weather is shitty and trying to work. How are you?

Me: Okay, I wasn’t feeling well for the last two days but this morning I woke up great. Guess I managed not to get cold. Let’s get some work done.
My body: Yeah, about that... I have some bad news for you.
Me: Nooooo!!!

Me, now: 🤧🤒

Now I want a collection edited by Stross, with every variant in it. Maybe one written by @warrenellis and one by Bruce Sterling.

This is why I love Charlie Stross. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/02/the-nakamoto-variations.html

I’m almost sure that my laptop is sentient and hates me. Otherwise I don’t know how to explain it’s attempt to melt itself when I tried to play a game first time after a really long break.

It's really hard to work when police choppers are circling over your neighborhood. Sad part is, I'm almost getting used to it now, not even curios about it.

Today I had to translate/explain a Turkish meme in English and nothing makes sense anymore.

I’m all for shitposting but this is the only place I feel free enough to shitpost freely. I feel like I could get arrested for it if I do it on Twitter, because I’m living in a really stupid country. Auto censorship on a whole new level.

Hello, I’m fighting with deadlines and I don’t want to think about work on the new year’s eve but it looks like there’s no hope. Hope you’re doing well too.
