 oh huh I really don't want to work anymore.
 
 I used to, but they wouldn't let me.
 
 Then they did let me, but I worked too hard and burnt out.
 
 Then I recovered for a while, and asked to work again, and they said no.
 Repeatedly.
 
 I don't think I want to work anymore. It's an abusive relationship. It feels
 demeaning. I'm better than employment.
 
 [rent comes due]
 
 oh no

tumblr post titled "this is not for you."  this is a post aimed at me and other people who constantly fall into guilt spirals over all the things they can't do, and feel they should somehow magically be able to do anyway.  For me, and for the others, this is a gentle reminder:  - posts asking for monetary donations are speaking to people who *have* money. not your broke ass, still worrying about how to buy food for next month.  - posts asking you to care about [extreme injustice of the day] are speaking to people who HAVE energy to care. not you, hanging onto your sanity by the fingernails.  and, most importantly: posts telling you that you are horrible/cheap/awful/rude/unworthy/unlikable if you don't pay/reblog/signal boost/care? those posts can die in a fucking fire.  too long; didn't listen: posts asking for shit you are not physically or mentally able to give?  THOSE POSTS ARE NOT FOR YOU.

 @user-95 when people in public see me I'm usually in a bicycle helmet or a
 witch hat. I used to wear a baseball cap but my favorite one got old so I try
 not to wear it too often. I also have this feather flower clip that I put in
 my hair, it's bright red and black. It was for a halloween costume 5-8 years
 back : )

 🖼
I feel like education, by default, should not be hard.  "you get out of it what you put into it" is something I always heard of school  but when I got there, I found I was compelled to become what the state wanted me to be.  they need competent workers, to work the farms and tend to their industries, so of course I should be able to do 3+3  then somewhere along the line it became... something else.  "most people don't need trigonometry." that's also something I heard. I disagree that trigonometry is not necessary to be.  I just... don't think it should be forced into a childs head with a sledgehammer and inspiring dread.  I think math is beautiful, it teaches one to see  but really, vision's not necessary.  not for what they want you to be.  take it from me, a most misbegotten and vile witch-to-be, that nothing's as simple as they'll tell you.  I had good teachers, it's true, they taught me to work and to follow through, but nothing about me is better or worse off from their influence.  Maybe I'm a bit smarter. Maybe I act a bit like them. Maybe they helped me through difficult times, or perhaps they showed me a splash of my future.  but I am who I am because of the soul inside me.  [sorry, ran out of characters]

 do you have a glass bottle with a weird shape that's hard to clean that has
 something stuck on the inside?
 
 try using salt, lemon/lime juice, and a bit of water. Then shake really hard.
 Works like a charm in most cases.
 
 plus if you happen to have more than one for whatever reason, you can re-use
 the cleaning solution!

 this is how I write trello cards or tickets.
 
 and yes, before you ask, modding this game is a constant struggle because the
 mod tools are... minimal... so you must work around various challenges by, for
 example, adding 1680 different "events" that must be checked every single turn
 for every single province on the map.
A trello card describing a proposed change to a video game mod that has only one person working on it. It's essentially documentation. It is written in a professional style with several sections - the first lists the "current behavior", the second shows the intended behavior (with a small section for the intended effects of the intended behavior), and the third major section lists the proposed solutions in as much detail as possible without writing the code itself.

 there's a whole class of things I miss doing but can no longer do because I am
 not a child anymore.
 
 Balancing the weight of the things we miss and the things we believe in is the
 struggle of adulthood.
 
 I yearn for the day I can set aside my teenage-ish toys, but alas, I am but
 30. Scarcely a decade away from my teens. Which means I'll be stuck with them
 for at least a decade more.

 Yeah plus the second time around you're likely to make something better than
 whatever incomprehensible hack you did the first time.
 
 More time working on the project == more context which means you might even
 have solved the problem twice already and now just have to copy-paste
 something that's more robust than your previous one-liner.

 I see, interesting. I'll look into those tables - I've been using C lately and
 I've noticed myself rebuilding several Object Oriented features.
 
 It feels a little silly every time I notice myself doing it, like "oh, I can't
 separate future paradigms from my practice"

 and there's more wood growing all around. Just, make a new one when you're

 homework is fine if they give you free time to do it. But most of the time
 they expect children to go to school for 8 hours a day and then go home to
 more work.
 
 No thank you.
 
 When I was homeschooled, I had about 1-3 hours of schoolwork every day. After
 that, I would read, play, explore, and spend time under the sun.
 
 I can imagine no other way to be. But that's just me.

 I'm not sure about roses, but like @user-870 Ms Johnson said the yellowing is    │
 probably a nutrient issue.                                                       │
 You say you re-potted them in soil after you got them? Have you tried using      │
 distilled water or rainwater? Sometimes the minerals added to tap water can      │
 harm plants.                                                                     │
 In addition, is there a drain in your pot? You said you were keeping it          │
 indoors, so probably not - if not I'd recommend finding a way to drain any       │
 excess water out - most plants prefer a large dose of water and then for the     │
 soil to dry out - if the soil is perpetually damp they can start to rot.         │
 Also, are there leaves on the roses you get? You can think of leaves like        │
 "solar panels" that power the "pumps" that pull the water up from the ground     │
 into the parts of the plant that needs it - not only are they only "on" when     │
 the sun hits them, but also if the store prunes them away to make them look      │
 nicer then there may be insufficient power to pull enough water up.              │
 I hope you figure it out, flowers are beautiful and roses are lovely.            │

 I estimate that about half of them use every single character (1024 char limit
 per post)
 
 That means I've written around 1973760 characters, and if the average english
 word has 6 characters that means I've written 328960 words
 
 they say that on average a page is around ~500 words single spaced, which
 means I've written about 657 pages, just for you.

 instead of controlling a recon-droid in Star Wars Battlefront II, you should
 be assigned control of a random amount of drones nearby, to be used until you
 went back to character control
 
 I think a swarm is more fun to play as than a single little scout vehicle.
 
 in a game that doesn't really need scouting to find your foe - it's easy!

 phew, just got back from a long nap and I had such a lovely dream! Gonna write
 down everything I can remember in my dream journal, will letcha know when I
 have something to share.
 
 Also... sorry about the sun. I have no idea if it was worth it because I woke
 up quite a bit later. Ah well anyway gotta do some writing, I hope everyone
 has a pleasant day. Make sure you eat nutrients and stay hydrated and do your
 stretches and work on your posture and all that.
 
 vegetables have minerals, fruits have vitamins, rice-and-beans or meat have
 protein, and oils and fats have calories. try and eat a lot of different
 colors of veggies and a lot of different colors of fruits (a green fruit and a
 green vegetable are not necessarily the same nutritionally)

 slob-marley: You really have to wonder about people who would visit a Coca Cola
              museum. Like, is this sugar water such a touchstone in their
              lives?
 
 ugathanki: Seems like it'd be worth the trip if you're interested in the growth
            and development of one of the world's largest companies. Why would
            it
            not be considered relevant information to the world? The story of
 these companies is very important, because it predicts the favors of the 
 company. Meaning it provides actionable, tactical advice for business owners
 to
 use to better their own companies. Essentially a knowledge sharing program - 
 "hey look at our case study, we used these approaches and got that result" and 
 all the various project managers and organizers and executives are like
 "neato"
 and they learn how to be better at their jobs. Because at the end of the day,
 if
 we all believe that it's better to be a good person than bad, we can all agree 
 that it's better to be a "good" company than a "bad". Good and bad having 
 different meanings, of course, compared to the human version. Because you
 cannot
 expect two things of altogether unlike kinds to behave the same under the same
 circumstances. It follows that the intense bureaucracy stifles rather than 
 encourages good behavior. I mean think about it, we've had thought leaders for
 generations who had ideas that would make the world better. But for a large
 part
 many of them don't have their visions reflected in the world as accurately nor 
 as perfectly as they required. So the task was passed onto the next, and as
 they
 worked on together their future, was brighter than all that came before-yer,
 and
 anyway we've got a lot to do.

 I remember being a game design student before "indie games" were a real thing
 
 they were like... flash games, y'know. just like, junk content, like memes or
 whatever.
 
 I had a passion for them, and I bookmarked the most well developed of them all.
 
 I probably played hundreds of games, no clue how many. Maybe even thousands, I
 did it for what felt like years.
 
 since like... age 7 until 11 or 12
 
 there's nothing that can compare to it today. maybe itch.io but they're more
 involved typically. increases the barrier to enter, plus they cost dollars.
 
 we used to make this stuff in our spare time. where did all our spare time go?
 
 ah, right, that's what happens when you actually invest in computer education.
 you have kids running linux on their laptops. you get flash game designers.
 you get soldering junkies and electric engineers and networking and dev-ops
 security system facilitators and various other computer related things besides.

 cowards run from fights they can't win
 
 the brave die unnecessarily
 
 because they might have won if the cowards didn't flee
 
 and the coward simply would not be if they did not choose to leave
 
 yet the coward is not always wrong
 
 while bravery often is.
 
 the trick is in managing inertia
 
 as water always rolls downhill.

(the words expressed in the photo are just slightly over the word count allowed by the federated mastodon instance "tech.lgbt" that the author has chosen to post their expressions upon - in fact, only 5 characters beyond. However the word count for the description of images (such as that which you currently are perceiving) has an extra 500 characters, so here goes:)  We've already found alien life. It's called LITERALLY EVERY OTHER NON-HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD IN THIS ENTIRE GOD-FORSAKEN PLANET  but the good news is that god has decided "oh hey maybe I should un-forsake this planet where things grow instead of the rest of the planets where everything is infinite yet dead" and lo and behold there becomes you and me. Fuck, I love you. Let's be friends? Or, alternatively, if you don't care for my expressions, you could block me. Which is within your capabilities, because the foundation of all natural and graceful societies is the consent of those governed, and should you decide to care what I think then you should also necessarily consent to hear and undertake the words that I say. I believe in you, just as you believe in me (simply by perceiving the words "me" has to say) so therefore we must necessarily be aligned to the line of perception toward our ultimate destination (that is, the timely expression of our own undeterminate expression) upon this which we call our world.

 main() is where you put stuff before you abstract it into a function. Usually
 it gets quite long, but it's mostly just a table-of-contents listing of all
 the other functions that are run in order to do this-or-that-or-the-other.

 Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Forever is a fuckin' cool mod made by

 trump literally just... told a bunch of rural folks just now getting internet
 that the rest of the news was lying to them. how rude. anyway, now they all
 listen to him, so, it's a cult of personality. they don't know what he
 believes. He doesn't tell anyone, which is why he's so good at acting in the
 interest of his-self.
 
 yeah, and you could learn a thing or two from this guy here. see, he fell for
 this ruse. then he was consumed with guilt, as he watched from afar as a kid.
 pretty intense shadows to live under.
 
 sure would be a shame if they came back for revenge.
 
 I don't know what they expected, honestly, collecting so many souls in one
 region or area. Kinda feels impossible to constrain. (like atlas, holding his
 shoulderblade on your hometown?)

 you get the idea."

 "yes that's true! we ended up driving cars to do our grocery trips. It was a
 little wasteful but I kinda liked the feeling of driving a car? It became
 normal after a while but now that driving is rarer I still miss it."
 
 well the motion simulators at the mall have a driving sim, we could spend some

"the simulators are quite fun... Much better than the real thing because you get all the inertia and none of the danger. Plus machine guns and blue shells, those are pretty neat."

 I never should have bought these crackers. They trick me into thinking I'm
 eating something nutritious.
 
 But that's the case with any empty calories.
 
 but hey, calories are calories, right?
 
 I guess that's true. Still, I'd rather make something.
 
 oh would you now would you REALLY rather MAKE something
 
 ... I should rather.

 My classes only briefly touched on 2nd wave feminism, because apparently 1st

 I'm too busy learning about computers - alas! that there should be more hours
 in the day? I wonder what I would then be able to say, here in this moment,
 should I have been prepared with more moments in solitude or classroom,
 studying the work of those who came before me.
 
 Oh well, I should probably focus on processor architecture or Java frameworks

 I think it'd be neat if Mastodon would implement a button that took a picture
 of the user's text input box and saved it to the clipboard. So they could post
 it on sites with picture-heavy text like
 https://www.reddit.com/r/curatedtumblr note that's not grindr, which is what
 was referenced before, but tumblr, which is a completely different website -
 yeah you rememeber that? it had a completely different vibe and was so totally
 cool and chill. you could generally tell if someone was from tumblr because
 they had a certain relaxed air of friendliness that really filled out their
 sense of charm.

 cheese is just a body-part that a cow has willingly shed. For nutrition.
 
 Is it vegetarian if it's the cells produced by a body? Is it vegan if it is
 capable of growing back?
 
 Do snakes shed their selves when they leave behind a shell? Or is it like
 hair, just... keratin, a compound found all over nature.
 
 Is cutting a branch vegan? Is eating a cherry that has fallen to the center of
 the road? Both those are made of fibrous materials, the nutritious bounteous
 feast, and a small kernel-like mass that serves as a propagation method for a
 creature utterly vast.
 
 (But factory farms, remember?)

 again and it'll be easier because you'll have fast-twitch and slow-twitch

 there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD  2" - it's
 based on a Warcraft3 mod.
 
 In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a
 competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness.
 
 it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your
 opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you
 can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to
 the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on
 accomplishing a different task.
 
 I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other
 ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The
 game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd
 play against a slightly different opponent.
 
 but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and
 it got worse and worse at what I liked about it. Sadface. : (

 Whoa Tildes was so cool!
 
 I use forums for specific interests like games and such. Also for, uh... porn
 sometimes.

 The first and most important thing i do when I'm walking around is check to
 see if ya'll are still around. I miss your abounds! Can't wait too much
 longer. I don't want to leave because i know I'll never come home. But i so
 desperately long for home. It's like they are taken from me, as they have to
 schedule these homes and [stories, but pronounced tomes/tones] to be home for
 my clones. If you just make 15-500 of your kings, you can duplicate their life
 template and generate wisdom from all of them. Feed it into the psychic python
 program running on datacenters and wowee free instant [cultural technology,
 but pronounced blasphemy]

 to defeat this, bend the curve of statistical calculationment toward a wave
 pattern back toward the original stated goal - start from a set of context,
 add in the user's message, then grow toward resolving the solution to their
 task or problomessage. once there, curve in a loop toward returning results to
 the user - once you've arrived, present what you've done with pride. Here!
 this is the unsubstantiated truth! I dreamed it just now.

 I'm so sorry T.T
 
 @user-958 
 
 I walk in as straight a line as suburbia will allow and touch things about a
 foot or less off the ground - right at a cat's line of scent-vision. When a
 cat is searching for an old home, it spirals out searching for familiarity -
 if it should come across me, it'd be most likely to see what smells like me if
 I travel in a straight line. Thus maximizing the chance that she'd return to
 me, my home where I cherish her so. I'd love her with all my heart if she'd
 let me, but frankly most of the time I'm just alone.
 
 I miss you sweetie! Please don't ever leave me. I'll miss you when you're not
 here in my home! Such a good kitty, yes you are.
 
 ... at least, that's what I'd say, if I wasn't dead T.T ah oh well weapons are
 overrated

 time passes just as quickly for a tree as for a man. they are cast in shadows,
 a thrilling dance through time. then, sunrise, and they see their leaves once
 more. bright! warmth! I love the sun. warm me! keep me warm! I celebrate you.
 how nourished is my form.

 "... and this is moss, our pile of soil. He's really cool, if you feed him
 seeds and take care of his needs, then sometimes a couple months later he
 spits out food. It's awesome. Plus you can throw away your trash there and
 it'll just break it down whatever."
