#TIL dogs can pet other dogs. #undertale
I'm pretty glad that the number of things I'm deeply stressed about had been cut down by like 60% over thr past couple weeks 😅 Sadly some things are looming and out of my control but at least I can check off some of the ones I can actually influence.
@johnefrancis HonestlyI wouldn't be surprised if we were thrown another scorcher before October gets here. Either that or snow. :P Maybe both?
writing documentation on the new stuff I've been doing with #ActivityPub and #DistributedPress and listening to this electronic music artist from Paris.
not sure what it is but french people know electronic music 🥰
@aeva Yeah very similar experience on my end. I think not being super vocal or being an obvious "target" for outrage helps a lot too? I think a lot of PoC and trans folks for example get extra harassment just for existing within view of folks that want to get out of their way to hate them.
I think who people on your instance follow/are followed by can also have a huge effect so large instances like .social increase the opportunities for beef.
gender stuff (positive)
I used to get frustrated a lot by folks misgendering me back before I came out as non-binary. It didn't matter too much but it was like I wasn't performing gender well enough and folks would give me a hard time about it.
Now I go to the pizza place and get sir and mammed minutes apart by different employees and it just makes me giggle since I can sit comfortably in my androgny.
Also when folks they/them me without needing to have to spell it out for them. 🥰
@unionizeallthethings Ionize the chemistry teachers!
Compaints have now been reduced to grumblings. Still hurts to type though :P Doing a bunch of docs today so I'll see if I can do the bulk via STT
Dang, warm hat season really snuk up on #Ottawa this year.
ha ha I think at this point I've been fully consumed by the beast known as Semantic Web. (though maybe that means I can eat some of it from the inside with p2p tech)
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
