New Instance, newly-edited #introductions post:

Hi, I'm Pamela! I live by a great lake (well, it's alright). I really love animals and have a pet turtle and cats. I like to learn new things and work with my hands. I like ecology, #STEM, #gameing, #openbsd, books and nature, and I enjoy painting but don't spend enough time doing it.

I have #agoraphobia and write about that pretty regularly, now, as well as my experiences with microwork.

racing flan XD

okay I'm having too much fun making these and need to wash dishes

I can't have fiber. I can't have DSL. I can't have a static IP, even if I wave money around. And apparently I'm in the <1% that can't have IPv6 with my provider, because my provider technically no longer sells cable internet services here.

How are the speeds on sneakernet these days?

A cool thing about art and painting is it's subjective, so you're technically justified when you look at your portfolio and hate it.

For some reason I thought I'd be bored this week. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh no

I just opened a michelob ultra while *not* currently on keto so it tastes like sunshine

oh

it's so bad now D:

Who is cuter and should be my new pet in the small aquarium I've been wanting?

I just subtooted our cats for being holy terrors and immediately one of them knocked over a lamp.

How do they even know?

(cats currently in the doghouse: 2 of 2)

I'm writing the text to accompany a small art project today. It's what I'm doing to try to pull something good out of a bad time. (See the aforementioned pile of artwork I don't touch). I got this idea into my head a couple weeks ago, and it won't let go... and I think it'll be really good, even if it's only me that ends up looking at it.

But it pulls from some dark places, so if you want to post pictures of cute floofs (preferably not cats) just FYI it's a fantastic day for it. 👍

A thing I should make, if I would ever sit down to figure out how, is a text entry form that lets you just compose long-form and divides it into blocks that makes sense based on your character limits and then gives you one of those copy-to-clipboard buttons for each.

"HEAT INDEX VALUES...As high as 98 to 102 on Saturday, and as high as 103 to 107 Sunday and Monday. "

but it's only June?
look, I didn't want it, but I was promised "snowiest city in the lower 48" and I'm very disappointed in this behavior

What I came into the office to do:
get a power cable

What I've done:
watched three lightning talks and downloaded a bunch of papers

What this will actually do for me:
absolutely nothing practical whatsoever, until I start reading papers about cooking or loading the dishwasher
