to hell with executive function, this brain is now a worker co-op
nail art
I found this shirt in my metaphorical closet, so I had to use it to show off this lovely nail art that I received this weekend.
Doing it but set to archive instead of delete, just in case.
Tempted to make a filter to just delete emails containing "How likely are you to recommend", but worried it might delete something important.

US public wants climate change dealt with, but doesn’t like the options
People want both action and to keep using fossil fuels.

This is your periodic reminder that, unless you buy and download the music you love, it will absolutely disappear out from under you at some point.
I failed to heed my own advice! This album is pretty obscure, sure, but now it's grayed out on Apple Music, and totally gone from the iTunes Store, so too late there. Bummer.

Today's gender is the sound of a dial tone.
I'm thinking it might be fun to wear my unpairable socks and treat them as free radicals that can break up another pair.

Saved @naomikritzer 's new @clarkesworld story "Better Living Through Algorithms" for a quiet Sunday morning https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer_05_23/ . It's as charming and inspiring as others have said.
In a similar spirit to her "Cat Pictures, Please" short story and Catnet books; also engaging with some of the same ideas as https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/maneki-neko/ Bruce Sterling's "Maneki Neko" (a story I find way less engaging) and Neal Stephenson's "The Diamond Age".
Youtube and Nebula are both set to 50% zoom here because the thumbnails in video listings are too dang big and there'd be like 3 videos to a page at the default zoom.
@SpriteGuard Does anything sound good on phone speakers?

Incomplete thread of recent/current (AFAIK) information on long covid probability, prevalence, and prevention.
Because the gaslighting is getting to me.

looks like the votes are for the debugging manifesto poster (this one: https://wizardzines.com/images/debugging-manifesto.pdf). I'll set up preorders once we figure out how much it'll cost to print & ship them.

If you are a cis woman, and you think anti-trans legislation does not impact you, you need to wake up. Your performance of femininity will be policed. You should care because others are being hurt, but if that is not enough, realize you too will be hurt. This is a sub toot for someone in my life who is not on the Fediverse, but I’ve said as much to this person.
Neurospicy ramblings
@Sophie [Cedar] we can do more than one thing, but how is it that people can have houses and cars and families/pets and have time to take care of all those things?

Neurospicy ramblings
It’s fucked up that I get to do at most one thing per day, and how sometimes that one thing puts me out of commission for multiple days.
It is OP that some people can do multiple things in a single day. “Autism is a superpower!” Bitch you can’t say that to me when you’ve showered, done the dishes, and been to the shops all before lunch.
