Feck it. Another day when nothing's working. What am I supposed to do?

@keira_reckons I've been on the fediverse since before it was called that, when it was mostly boys being competitively witty.

Then I went away for a while to cocoon, and when I can back it was this firehose of loveliness. And also news about the imminent apocalypse, but swings and roundabouts.

I so appreciate everybody in my fediverse parasocial circle. The proprietary platforms are where you go for celebrities you already admire. Here is where you find extraordinary people you come to admire.

This is grainy but delightful:

I saw a poster advertising an imminent Australian tour from Norman, but I doubt he'll be including any #Housemartins classics in his set.

@joannaholman I used to live near a school playground ringed with pine trees. One day I was walking along the road and stopped when I saw a cocky sitting on the wire fence chomping on a pine cone.

He (I'm not an expert in determining avian gender, but there was a vibe) stood to attention, checked me out, and then resumed chomping, as I clearly wasn't a threat to anybody.

Non-human social animals are good at this in a way that humans aren't. I like being clocked as benign, or at least harmless.

I had considered writing a blog post about today, and the last few months, but that distances yourself from it and turns it into an amusing anecdote. I am angry and frustrated, and I don't know how to lash out.

I went out to get another cardboard box. Didn't give a thought to my posture, or projecting a positive aspect. Just strode about, glowering.

Scared the life out of one poor girl, who recoiled visibly.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean you personally. Just the world in general.

It's that time again. I just feel hopeless.

Nearly 54 years on this planet and I still don't know what I'm good for. Honestly. I've got nothing. I've scraped the bottom of the barrel until it's smooth as glass.

I think I'm just a thing for filtering cardboard box wine through, to make it chemically safe to return to the environment.

I'm not having fun. I'm not achieving anything. And it all takes so much work.

Good grief. A week ago I joked "Invest in bleach."

I just spent half an hour putting on makeup for the sake of an hour-long tutorial via Microsoft Teams. When I went to log in, Microsoft wanted 2fa, which is nfg at the moment, because my phone isn't working. Damn it. Tomorrow morning's tut is a write off, too.

Hardly matters, as I'm not prepared. I did the reading, quickly and half-heartedly, a week ago. Forgotten in a matter of hours, never mind a week.

How does this constitute education? WTF am I doing?

If I have one complaint about my #Librem5 phone, it's that NetworkManager crashes a lot. I think it happens when I've a live SSH session with my desktop and I leave my flat (so "a lot" may be an exaggeration atm). It seems that once it's out of wifi range it goes into a tizzy and refuses to do anything at all.

You have one job, NetworkManager: manage my networks. As a former spouse used to say to me, "Harden up, princess!"

It's an astonishingly fast transition from a desperate need to go out into the world and seize the day to a desperate need to go to bed and seize a chocolate biscuit.

Both over the course of today and the course of my life.

@Jean3040 You're so young! We already got efficient in the 80s. Now we've had so much efficiency that nothing works and nobody can afford it anyway.

Whoo. Spicy noodles w/ chopped up leftovers and not-very-mouldy veg tonight. My eyes are watering and the adrenaline is rushing. Life is good.
