-"i will only listen to this song/play this video game/watch this tv show because it's the only good one and i must consume it obsessively for hours every day" until one day you realize if you have to consume that thing for even 2 more minutes you will explode
-that crushing guilt and anger and hurt you feel when u can tell someone secretly thinks you didn't "just forget" but actually don't care at all
-"am i really even adhd??? ive never even been distracted by a squirrel??"

clearance adhd moods we have overstock:

-vague unspecified guilt about procrastinating that ur afraid to investigate in case it turns out there really is something ur procrastinating
-i have no idea where my social security card is :)
-body: eat food. me: i can't eat actually im too busy not doing anything
-Unbelievable Rage and Fury that comes on so fast and strong you get whiplash
-pretending you haven't not done the dishes in literally 8+ months

if your cat often bothers you at your computer and walks all over your keyboard, it's because they're trying to join you and do what you're doing. It's a sign of affection! One way to mitigate disruption without pushing away your cat is by buying your cat their own laptop and plugging it in next to yours. make sure the laptop has wifi, a VPN, and access to the darkweb

As happy as I am with NFSN as a web host, I was always a little iffy about a host with "free speech" in its name, so this blog post is reassuring https://blog.nearlyfreespeech.net/2021/01/19/free-speech-in-2021

"If you’re a racist, we’re not on your side. We are not your allies. We are not sympathizers. The 'Free Speech' in our company name is not a secret dog whistle to you."

tonight's culprit: generic cherry-flavored gelatin dessert which IN NO WAY indicates that it's "diet" or "reduced calorie" and I got a nasty surprise while eating it

It’s the absolute best feeling when I glimpse myself in a reflective surface and my brain goes “girl! that’s a girl.” before I can consciously think about it

It’s like proof that I’m not just tricking myself into thinking it’s working

tired: referring to poly relationships with names like "triad", "wedge", or "vee"

wired: referring to them under graph theory terms

"yeah, we're in a K_{1,2} right now but we're probably going to go to a K_3 soon"

The taller the tower, it was said, the wiser the wizard, the lovlier the princess, the richer the dragon. Taller and taller they rose, built with magic and mountain bones.
Princess Laica sewed a suit of silk and steel and spells, and jumped off; the first to orbit the world.

there needs to be a premade choose-your-own-adventure childhood generator you can use if you need to stay stealth about your agab/past abuse/etc.

Just type in who you are and why you're using it and it'll be like "this is what you did for birthdays as a kid. here is one (1) cute anecdote about your family. these is how you felt about your boy scout troop that you were totally actually in because you were 100% definitely AMAB."

so i commissioned something from @scoots a while back to go with the Mel stories https://princess.team/tags/mel/ and it's finally here and i love it! look at these two dorks! 😈

Sup, nerds. Wanna buy some software on floppy disks? Of course you do. That's why I'm selling msync, my command line mastodon client, on floppies! I have builds for Linux, OSX, and Windows ready to ship.

And if floppies aren't your thing, I have these lovely Office of Consensus Maintenance stickers, too.

I accept orders by internet, fax, and mail.

IRS Form W-4 is changing. Starting in tax year 2021, employees are no longer required to claim a specific number of transmisogyny exemptions.

I finished the opsec guide!

can i just say how fucking utterly ridiculous it is that UPS units still primarily output 120/240VAC when almost every damned thing is running on low-voltage DC anyway?

@erinbee tangentially related joke:

How many ears does a Canadian folk singer have?

Three. A left ear, a right ear, and the last of Barrett's private ears.

Let me just state for the record I should get a tax-free salary raise anytime the word "guys" is used as gender neutral at my workplace

An article about legal interest in the EU on Right to Repair stuff: https://reasonstobecheerful.world/europe-guarantee-right-to-repair-ifixit/

Pressure in the right direction, though the biggest threat (at least in the US, don't know EU law here as well) to the right to repair is the use of *intellectual restriction laws* to obstruct repair / reverse engineering / jailbreaking.
