I masked for years when I was working around toxic dust, when none of my coworkers did and many of them teased me about it. Some of them now have weird miner lung diseases. This is not from West Virginia in the 30's, this is from a job at a hipster company featured in Martha Stewart's magazine. I started working there in 2008.

I am absolutely used to catching shit for being the only person in the room masked against the thing that is killing us.

It's a weird thing to be used to.

@sidereal Toxic masculinity is so fucking bizarre. "Breathing hazmat makes me a real man!" Okay. Sure. How's that debilitating illness treating you?

Sigh. It'll be the downfall of America some day, and people like you will be the only ones left standing while people like your former coworkers drop like flies.

I miss all my stuffed animals, beds are so lonely without plushes or people. How do normal adults do this

@lupomancer As not a normal adult, I can't answer this, but I also don't have your bed full of friends, so I'm doubly useless. Hope you're back to 'em soon though.

"Quiet Public" is just begging for "Quite Public" misreading and intense confusion over why it's a moon. Maybe it's exhibitionism? Maybe it's Maybelline.

This morning, a scrub turkey broke in to my house, knocked shit everywhere in my kitchen, destroyed the guaze in the bathroom window and shat everywhere in my hall, including up the side of the walls.

It's a good thing I love birds, because that bird tested me...

@ada "a pissed off bird busted in my house and wrecked my shit" is so on-brand for the image that the rest of the world has of Australia

@ada amazing 👌​Now I want video, but that requires there to be a next time (...which does seem likely) and for there to be a camera already recording for some reason (what with first priority being getting the bugger out).

The incredibly boomer-minded Gen Xer who wrote "Generation Me" about millennials (sorry bitch, that's the boomers, look around you) is back with Opinions® about gen Z and how to fix them. Her new book title is:

iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood

Okay. So.

  1. "More tolerant" is a problem, huh? I see where you stand, Karen.
  2. "Less happy" - it's almost like multiple "once in a lifetime" --

I finally ditched the TP-Link Internet of Shit lightbulb in my bedroom in favour of a TRÅDFRI™ Zigbee bulb, and I even splurged by paying the extra £7 for the one that does multiple colours

Now I can further destroy my circadian rhythm by blasting myself with blue light at 1am

@Ninji I find TP-Link's stuff to be by far the least shitty of internet of shit devices, at least. 'grats on the upgrade.

After the feedback I got on the piece I posted here and sent to a few people on Telegram, I took the plunge and ordered an Audio-Technica AT2005USB for recording. I have a long way to go and much to learn, and I don't expect to be the next @Jyoti, but it's an I Spent Money commitment.

Another near field goal of mine is to figure out if doing a daily diary in Obsidian is something I’d benefit from.

I have all the automations and macros set up, I just have like a month of blank daily notes pages where I haven’t entered anything. I’ve found myself creating new notes for specific things, but I haven’t been able to do daily logs consistently and I’m trying to figure out if it’s because I’m not used to it, or if it’s just something I don’t really need to do.
One of my big goals this year is to externalize my brain because it gets real murky in my head sometimes. I FEEL like the IDEA of daily logs would help, but I’m unsure if it would in practice and if it’s something I need to push myself to do

@lupomancer Captain's log, Stargate 43276.2.

My take: don't give yourself any pressure to do it unless you figure out why you'd want to do it. Otherwise it can become another thing on the ever-growing mental pile.

“Well they also taught you about the soviet union, but we don’t still think of Kyiv as Russian— wait, you probably do… Well they taught us about Yugoslavia, but we don’t still think Kosovo belongs to— ah shit, you would, wouldn’t you. Well they taught us Taiwan was— GOD DAMMIT.”

Feelers out again because it might be getting toward time to . I'm interested in a remote US (🚫mandatory hybrid or in-office🚫), IC position in systems integration, solutions engineering (post-sales), or similar technical consulting/PS type roles. Open to more.

I have 10+ years of experience as a web dev (full stack, primarily JS, PHP, MariaDB + Postgres + MSSQL; written + owned + extensively consumed REST APIs; written custom apps and deep WordPress), sysadmin (cloud, Linux, Windows, VoIP, security and network design), IT consultant and all-around technical problem solver. Systems integration is effectively what I've done for my entire career. I have a wide breadth of touch in platforms and products, but can quickly zero in and make myself an SME on a specific set.

The customers I've served are largely SMB, but do include enterprise (esp. higher ed) and gov.

(Plz contact if you/org you work for is hiring but not w/random listings, thank you 😀)

Boosting this because it's actively time to . I can put my web development, consulting, and analyst skills to work toward your organization's success.

  • web development
  • with custom enterprise integrations
  • systems integration / APIs (incl ) / EDI&ETL
  • post-sales and professional services / implementation /

I am looking for 100% remote, US-based W2 (sorry no 1099) FTE (consultancies are fine!). Message me here or DM me for professional email address. Note I am still employed and thus can be flexible on start date.

(Boosts welcome!)

update: it's been suggested that I should look at security engineer positions. I'm interested, especially at the right pay. Coming from the web world, I think I'm best suited more to application security, blue team stuff than red team stuff. I'm more code review than Cisco configuration, find flaws and communicate with devs and managers than hacker voice "I'm in" (pen testing).

Toss openings at me please (I have been searching on my own too). Remote (pref) or remote-first hybrid (no relo no relo no relo).
