Were I ever to decide to follow the path of a mad scientist, the first thing I would put in the municipal water reservoir would be a virus causing tightening of blood vessels for anyone with XX chromosomes, so they have permanently cold calves and wear (over) knee-high socks. #truestory [https://imgur.com/user/AndrlCh]

Okokok, I can see the appeal of Tarot cards now...

I always had trouble remembering number sequences (and faces, names,... another possible hint for ADHD), but I have found that remembering numbers, not as digits, but as compounds, works better. Like instead of 9-8-7-6-3-5, which is hard, I remember only two numbers: 987 and 635. For some reason, saying PIN codes from out of your head throws clerks off. In a good way. I enjoy that.

Thinking about creating a mirroring Tumblr relay. A few problems: 1. Mirroring media (pretty sure @Azzamo blossom server wouldn't like it). Hot linking functionality is highly dependent on clients - native COULD work, web ones? No dice. 2. You need a domain, and that means registering it, and that means KYC :/ Any smart solutions for the first, second, or both? #asknostr

The churn is real. There were many NSFW-friendly accounts (not just image-dropping ones), creators, etc., all gone now. But I guess if you stay just for interaction, you're gonna have a hard time. View quoted note →

Me, opening my writing project after six months...

I should sign up for a gym again, but it always boils down to not having someone to show me the ropes (I used to go with colleagues from work, where one was a cool expert gym buddy). It seems that I haven't visited for so long that there are new machines on the market... 🔇

It's interesting how much knowledge is age-locked. Like I have reached an age where I start to appreciate that a lot of things are better with pre-warm-up: stretching your muscles, skin before shaving, fleshlight, bed on winter nights. #oldwisdom #protip

On Sunday, when prepping dinner with my daughter - just the two of us - she confided in me that she enjoys having time without her sibling, otherwise she almost feels like her brother is stealing love from her. That came as a little surprise (because both me and my wife are trying to be mindful about this), and made me a little proud, since she has the words, ability, and courage to formulate those feelings. So we talked a lot about love languages, how she perceives things (she pinpointed quality time for her) and so on. Today, at work, I had an impulse, kinda the airplane 'save yourself first' but on its head. Since I am unable to formulate an action plan for myself right now (don't worry, things will manage, they always do), I decided to save family first. What's more, my wife formulated a theory that kids may be creating power-draining situations to subconsciously call for attention. So at home I planned to give at least 20 minutes to each member. That may not sound like a lot, but consider I wanted it to be uninterrupted and one-on-one, and if you have kids, it's not an easy feat. Coincidentally, my wife had to leave for a late Christmas party, but I had my mind set. I had my first session with the younger one - we built a wooden track for an engine...and a space shuttle with dragons, and radioactive fluorescent stones as fuel. So after 40 minutes, I left him with an audiobook of his choosing and all was well. Daughter chose a drawing session, and we drew kittens, turtles, and a monkey for more than half an hour. All was fun. Even managed to get them showered without much fuss... Then the universe decided that I flew too close to the sun and decided to 'fix' that for me. *yay* But I think those bitemarks they gave to each other will heal soon. So much for the 'calling for attention' theory. Drained of energy, there were two more microconflicts that my daughter perceived as unfair again, and maybe this time she was right as I was running on reserves. But such is the life of an adventurer. About to go read the first chapter of the second Hilda book. #morituritesalutant #parenting
