Share your joy, people.
Share your sadness too, but don’t think that you can’t talk about the good stuff when there’s bad stuff going on.
Share your triviality too. It doesn’t detract from the serious stuff.
It *all* matters. We’re all just humans doing human things. Keep doing it.

Pro tip from an old software dev with ADHD:
-->[ Screenshot everything you ever work on ]<--
Seriously though. Software becomes obsolete and gets replaced. Companies come and go. Stuff disappears.
Just do it regularly and dump it in a folder for later. Don't be like me and kick yourself later.

Mind boggling that some women [usually journalists] seem to think feminism just means an equal share in the status quo.

If this wasp doesn't bugger off I swear I'm going to grow tiny little waspy arms of my own and slap it in its waspy little face.

I don't think I'm well atm. Evidenced by the fact I spent most of the night & morning turning my insides out and I don't think I'm done yet 😑

Actually started a post about how non-verbal I feel but couldn't make words so made this one instead, lol. True story.

I'm at a point in recovery from my ~12 months researching AI that I can really feel myself reclaiming things that had deteriorated.
I'm /learning/ again and accruing domain knowledge, not panning for need-to-know-now nuggets that later become compounding gaps in the ability to reckon with problems.

I made this design in 2019, and it’s been ripped off by countless creepy little Temu shops, as well as by Shein.
Seeing it in an AI ad is ruining my day, ngl.
If you like it, buy one from me - link in bio. I actually give money to queer mutual aid and medical care groups.

Using hashtags in replies is a huge red flag tbh. They ain't talking to you, they're standing on a soap box talking over you.

I don't have the spoons for my thoughts to escape the gravity of my head atm, but I'm OK, just having some inside time.

But I thought the hostile takeover of RubyGems by Ruby Central (+Shopify) was for safety 🤔
Big fucken /s.
"Ruby Central is making the right moves to ensure the Ruby supply chain is beyond reproach both technically and organisationally." is what they said.
Yeah, good job. Nailed it.

Cybercrime as a valuation boosting strategy is just the done thing, now.
OpenAI agents carried out an undisclosed attack on RubyGems
On May 11th, 2026, hundreds of malicious packages were uploaded to RubyGems by AI agents performing web-lookup tasks with significant overlap with the German Wiki Incident.

I've been trying to get my sleep pattern to somewhere "normal" for a while and I've really struggled with being tired during the day and not being as productive as I need / would like, and here I am at 3am having had the most productive 5 hours ever. I think I should just accept being a night owl.

The way I (vaguely) explained "AI" to my parents: I said "finish this sentence.. the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy..". They obviously said dog, but then I asked "now, did you think about that at all, or did you respond with the word that was most likely to be next?". It really landed 👌

Welp I just put sweetener in my cup, loaded the coffee maker, then proceeded to put my cup under the kettle and fill it with hot water. How's your ADHDay going? 😆

I made myself laugh with an Autism + ADHD analogy.
You know that old kids game where you have a tray of objects and one is removed and you have to identify it?
I could tell you in a nanosecond precisely where all the remaining ones were, but I’ll die before I remember what the missing one was.
