that’s awesome, I’m sure she was really grateful to have you there helping her so much!

wacom is a company that produces drawing tablets. you know, hardware tools for artists. it is their job to market specifically to artists.

they are not optimizing for your enjoyment, they’'re optimizing for your engagement. they don’t give a fuck if you hate what you’re watching as long as you watch it for longer.

every single month I have a small panic attack about how my meds have stopped working and I’m going to have to increase my adderall dose and what if I hit the top limit and they still don’t work and my symptoms are worse than when I started the meds… and then three days later it’s like oh yeah it’s just my stupid period 🙄 things have gotten goofier timing wise with my iud messing with my cycle, but same idea. it’s a low dose of progesterone but I think my body dislikes it regardless.

edut: more specifically, i have much more trouble motivating myself to be productive and focusing. I do have some depressed mood issues around that time too but they’re not really impacted by the adderall

in high school i saw this xkcd and didn’t understand the joke. next thing you know i’m trying to dual boot ubuntu, writing down error messages so i can look them up on the library computers and download alternative gpu drivers onto a flash drive (we didn’t have internet at home back then and i couldnt drive yet… so debuggging issues usually took multiple days). weirdly, i enjoyed that experience and here i am ~16 years later. i use linux at home and at work :)

oooh i live n the front range and didnt know the botanical gardens had this winter event, looks cool 😍

that’s such a cute design!
