@ni_c_k_ole oh no that "lazy" thing is always terrible :s
@ni_c_k_ole I didn't get school maths either so I can't really tell m)
@webmind@social.weho.st no, i'm literally just feeling like shit because my capacity to understand simple mathematical things is not as large as people seem to think it should be.
I accidentally encountered some maths and I'm feeling very inadequate right now
No idea where I'm going with this, it's just something that clicked as "so THAT'S what I don't like about it" today.
Sometimes there's also oversimplified ideas of brain chemistry that are used to justify a "this is the same for everyone" approach. Other times its decontextualised ~general psychological principles~. Idk idk.
I probably do that myself. I don't know how to solve it. Probably "accepting that people and their circumstances can be very different from yourself and your own circumstances" is the first step, but I don't think it's enough.
Hmhmhm I think I'm beginning to understand something. That while in general, I consider talking openly about mental health a good thing, I dislike that it can often turn out very normative and restricting, because people generalize what worked for them and apply it to others without room for adjustment to different situations and stories. And that this can happen even when everyone is very well meaning, and in favour of self determination, and not who you'd think of when you think "normative".

Hey #artists! I'm looking for someone who takes commissions, and loves all things cybre to work with me on a book cover.
If you, or someone you know, is interested, hit me up with some examples of your work, and we can talk

We need more tools built for regular folks. We need more tools that don't come with the baggage of learning to code, of dealing with the open source community.
We need more tools that help people do things, rather than just tools that help coders code.

All the big open source projects tend to suffer from the same kind of feature creep. Or, not even feature creep. It's not that they end up too complex, it's that they start that way.
These aren't tools built for users, to make it easy for a user to make things. These are tools built for developers, to make it less painful to do the stuff they don't like doing.
That's fine, I guess, but that's not what made hypercard special.

But beyond calculating the volume of the nests of obscure birds, Hypercard could be used to stitch together applications that did pretty much anything.
Myst was built in Hypercard, for example. But so were hundreds of other games and programs by amateurs.
The point of hypercard was that it was accessible to people who were not developers. Anyone could reasonably build something with this tool.
Most people that I've spoken to about it said that it felt to them like the future.

as it stands you can filter words (the button with the sliders in the home TL), but only things within the body of the post. it skips the cw description field right now, the place ppl are likely to describe the thing

also if yr a trans person who's on or wants to be on estrogen based hrt but doesn't want breasts, or can't risk breasts, look into raloxifine and related things. I've seen very few experiences on it, but. yeah. it's basically anti estrogenic selectively on breast tissue
