does anyone have any German/French youtubers (who speak in Ger or Fre) they'd recommend?

ah probably because it was never clear to me whether the people who used this word considered it a good or a bad thing

in retrospect i think it was about 60/40 in favour of pure excitement, and I'm not going to judge tbh *is super excited whenever some more or less exaggerated "we live in an actual cyberpunk dystopia" piece appears*

I keep reading "post privacy" not as "the privacy/visibility of the things you post" but as "privacy is a thing of the past" and have to think of 2011 twitter for some reason

What what whaaaaaat the Witch with No Face is Chlorr of the Mask?? :o :o :o

(STILL not over Clariel becoming Chlorr tbh.)

tfw you stop feeling terrible, but you know that your reasoning for feeling terrible totally holds up and you actually have a few things in your life that you might want to solve, but you still have no idea how, and so you start to ignore it all again~

In regards to uh, a Recent Boost, by Trev, about people not "looking the part"

it's so important to stand up against that. "Looking the part" is often an expensive process. "It costs a lot to look this poor" etc. Who "looks the part"? People in my local community have complained about being pushed out of white lgbt spaces for appearing to be "just another working-class puerto rican" which somehow precludes being a Real Queer. What fashions are tied to what cultures? Who gets to "appear gay"?

hey so, i just tested -- if you're in DMs and the conversation partner sets it to not-DM, you will automatically follow them into the new setting

Yeah, okay, I no longer believe social.tchncs.de is operating in good faith. Sorry. social.tchncs.de/users/milan/u

I encourage anyone who questions my position on this to go through my timeline from today BEFORE they respond.

but that doesn't even matter because, i'm super stuck and i've been super stuck for years and I don't know how to get unstuck, so it really doesn't matter what i actually can and can't do, because, i don't know how to even try anything

look I think my therapist really messed up my sense of what I can and can't do even more? Always "yeah you think you can't do that, but I think you can" and never like… actually being allowed to find out and maybe end up saying no, i can't do that… as if humans didn't have real actual limitations or idk

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

אגב, השעה 12:15 ואני עדיין בבית מחכה לטכנאי בזק שיגיע "ממש עוד מעט, בין 10 ל- 12". 🙄

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.
