Wow. I spent less than 10 seconds trying to work out before ending up injuring my ankle. It's not gonna keep me out of commission for too long, but it was enough to put trying to exercise today on pause.

Gods, help me. I found a USB dot matrix printer that I'm pretty sure will work with my laptop for $109 on ebay.

I WANT IT SO BADLY, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD IT!

I must resist the temptation...

It's easy to believe that your conditions are fine, that you can put up with them. But once you get out, once you find better, and can heal and discover just how painful things really were, it's a big thing.

I'm more than grateful that I was able to get away, and even if my healing has been slow, even if I feel like I should be better off than I am by now, it's important. It really is.

Sometimes, I go quiet, whether on here or in real life. Sometimes, this is because I genuinely have nothing to say. A lot of the time, it's because I'm too scared to say anything, for one reason or another, particularly when it comes to real life. Even when what I have to say is important in some way, my anxiety issues its veto.

Did you know that #linux isn't electronic? It is mad of pipes, socks, files, handles, tar, even evil spirits called demons. There's only one electron, but it's big and slow!

FreeBSD 

Odd things about my FreeBSD install: tap-to-click is no problem, but I can't scroll with my trackpad, with two-finger or edge

I've decided to start using a Picrew avi. I'm keeping my display name constant for now to avoid any undue confusion, but eventually, I figure I'll probably change my display name to some variant on Kat (or I'll go back to an Aura avi)

Continuing my thoughts on left unity from last night, it is worth saying that there should be some manner of unity between libertarian leftists. Ancoms and syndicalists, for instance, for all their differences, should work together. It may even be of worth to bring some democratic socialists and social democrats into the fold. What it's not worth doing is pretending that we should be allying with authoritarians. History shows again and again that it only turns out poorly.

A lot has been said on leftist infighting. But here's something that's worth repeating: a lot of "leftist infighting" is actually libertarian leftists (rightly) attacking authoritarian leftists. Like, guys. Come on. Unlike the "libertarian" right, we're not going to ally with a bunch of people who'd just as soon kill us off for ideological reasons in the name of some BS notion of "left unity". We see through your ploy and (rightly) reject you.
