*opening the blinds to the window of my mind like ferris bueller only instead of sunshine it reveals a lot of despair and dissociation* how could i possibly be expected to handle work on a day like this

i don't think i'm suicidal right now, not as i've been countless times in the past anyway. but i sure don't want to get up & it's a funk that's been lasting for weeks. i don't think i need to fix myself with therapy or meds for this, i think it's the world that needs to be fixed

i'm getting very tired in trying to live in a world that just sucks so much. maybe under fairer weather is use this as a "my existence is and act of rebellion!" moment but today feels more like "yeah? then screw it. i don't want to be here anyway."

AMAB and AFAB are not stand ins for "biologically male" and "biologically female." They refer to the sex and gender you get assigned and raised as. This includes intersex people bc IGM itself is a form of violence. It's not "what you were born with," but what you had to live with

You cannot debate fascists, just as you cannot debate religious zealots. Their ideology is already known to be abhorrent and rooted in falsehoods and hatred. It spreads because many people have been conditioned to receive it.

You must give it zero platform. You must starve it.

okay, it's time to say it: the FSF has been failing to lead the FOSS movement, for quite a while now. this is a problem because there aren't very many orgs that are dedicated primarily to advancing the ideal of *free* software.

I took a junky 486 laptop I had, put winplay3 on it, filled the ~200MB drive full of songs, then hooked it up to my Bronco via a power inverter and a cassette-tape-to-headphone-jack adapter. Had to be like early '96. twitter.com/TaxBeast/status/13

Also while I'm here: put fat people in your games you cowards. Put fat women in your games that aren't jokes or villains. Put fat men in your games that aren't bumbling goobers. DO IT.

if anyone knows how to get an old webcam (VID 0784 PID 0060) working on windows 10, let me know. i think it'll work on linux, will try later. i got one of these working on XP under virtualbox once, but now vbox just refuses to capture any usb device anymore and i can't find a fix

here's some pictures it takes

not terrible, but focus seems troublesome. it _has_ the optics to focus better, but the autofocus seems to give up too early/too late, wonder if it's faulty or just bad from the factory.

it also functions as a webcam(!) provided you have windows xp
