Listen, I don't want to presume to be speaking for other people, but: If you are feeling overwhelmed by the stupidity, the chaos, the vile fanaticism, the immeasurable damage and suffering, the specter of global turmoil, just know that I am feeling that too. Because this is just an insane situation.

i need an association with 'good morning' that isn't "good morning to everyone EXCEPT..." or the beginning of 'Graduation', cuz neither of those is a good morning. really i need my brain to not jump to the nearest culturual reference in response to quite literally everything. #filler…

what about spite and pickle spears

it's worth noting that i was in the last... 5% of un-fuckin-force-transcribed audio files. i had 95% given up hope.

i'd like to report that after 7 years, hundreds of hours, an immense amount of data processing, and an all-but-extinguished spark of hope… i’ve finally found that one stand-up comedy recording i’d been looking for in my backups.

i’m (psych meds allowing) fucking exuberant.

“subscribe now” pop-ups, cookie hasslers, etc. are the drug store deodorant lockboxes of current web design. apart from the fact that we litigated this in the 90s — you’re looking at the minority of the equation if you think it hasn’t gone too far. i couldn’t care less if your newsletter signup conversion rate goes up. i’m sure it quadruples or some shit. but you’re pissing the rest of us off. “you wouldn’t believe how much deodorant lockboxes reduce theft” BUT DID THEY ALSO REDUCE SALES, STU? DID THEY MAKE PEOPLE STOP GOING TO YOUR STORRRRRE?

just call me agitated i finally found a broad-scope rundown about leon rn, including why what he does works (in both good and bad ways), how he's changed the world, and the general depths of his ego, psychopathy, and danger....

New Post: just call me agitated

with a memory span for panic and sunshine As soon as i remember, i need to send a message to my doctor, basically "I know this sounds like a joke, but i keep forgetting to request a referral for the memory center, but it's also possible that i haven't been. " I think i'm working on it. Programming tasks, technical video games, efforts toward singular focus, moderation and healthy habits, and writing, above all. "I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now." I don't remember when i started having memory issues, and i can't figure out how bad it is.

comment from bsky

Jokaisen Oikeus Finnish for "Everyone's Right", Jokaisenoikeus refers to the radical legal policy of some Nordic nations allowing a person to freely enjoy nature as long as they're not being malicious. The font you're reading (if you're at quix.cafe), "Finlandica", cites Jokaisenoikeus on it's github, relating it to the spirit of their open source license. I like that. It seems like an immutable law. Not the font -- though I appreciate that it seems like a fancy FUN typeface. But the notion that you're never in the right to stop me from taking in any of the shared marvels of nature... and then making a profit off of it. Fuck.

nefarious forces that conspire to silence me "it's been done before" a. the feeling that there's nothing new to add to the conversation * while it's true many things have been explored, your perspective matters. like curating artifacts – each piece has a story. * this feeling can be a signal. maybe you're not connecting with your own experiences. * or maybe you're being too general, not pushing your thinking. * could be you process info quickly, things feel "old" faster. b. worrying about being derivative or unoriginal * connecting with even one person is valuable. * people are forgiving, like you are.
