There’s helicopters circling overhead and a police loudspeaker going off in my immediate neighborhood. I’m guessing to flush out the lost boy.

The idea that you could have a thinking talking relationship for decades with another being who used to literally be part of your own body is just wild. Totally normal but also bonkers.

@ZaneSelvans When one of the parties hits teenagerdom, it’s a total crapshoot though… 😂

Today is a weird anniversary for me. 29 years ago today, as a ten year old, I had a brain surgery that saved my life. I had been sick with a mysterious illness for months when doctors finally took x-rays and then an MRI that showed I had developed a massive cyst in the fluid membrane that cushions the brain inside the skull. When diagnosed, this cyst had become so large it was crushing my brain.
On May 11th, 1995 a team at the St Louis Children's Hospital cut open my skull and operated on me for 14 hours, with the lead neurosurgeon working (and standing!) continuously to fully remove the cyst and repair the membrane, then putting my head back together, totally successful. My now unburdened brain resumed it's normal shape, and this had a similar effect as a stroke, which was anticipated.
This experience completely changed my childhood. The night before the surgery I believed I would die the next day. All these years later, I've no complications and none the worse for wear, except for this nifty zig-zag scar.

@that_mc Oh whoa. I’m glad you’re here and I’m also glad you shared this for families who might be going through similar things now.

If you need a CRM, take a look at Attio, as they are a Notion-like approach.

Went outside one last time and took some pictures. While I could see the pink and green aurora faintly in the pictures, the quality was very much the lacroix flavored version of the aurora pics already online.

@alpha1beta Yeah, I just went outside and walked around, it’s very faint here.

Having to sign up for another social / chat app (the yellow one) because oldest wants to use it. Refuse to give the app access to my contacts and it then asks repeatedly for access, and of course it recommends loads of people on my contact list to connect with, since they've already sold me out. What a time to be alive.

joy,
@joy@mastodon.social avatar

@jbenjamint I was on that app for similar reasons (my kid was at university and she wouldn't text me but used it to share parts of her life).

Anyway, not only had parts of my social graph already sold me out, the number of childless men (who I might have once dated as an adult at some point) was actually disturbing...

@toddo Yes the past few days, I thought it was just me.
