    I’m aware that it makes people cringe, but it’s so true that I’ve never been more happy; more bottoms than a top could ever ask for… Enough to over come the negativety from all the judgemental or bitter queens.

        Not more stoked than I; I’ve never had a busier social life and my asocially autistic ass is still surprised by it each time I get another invite.

      I’m not a top, but I know that feeling, and it’s amazing. That was my entire year last year. It was so freeing and empowering. Don’t do things that harm the sustainability of that like meth or smoking. Keep your health up and keep drinking water and hygiene. Take care of yourself and you’ll just continue to get more and more powerful :)

    I made a shit tonne of brownies and ive had 2 cups of sugar in one day alongside 5 cups of coffee. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE

    PS. Folks add pomegranate molasses to your pantry and your brownies. One of my favourite ingredients to give a dish complex depth in flavour, works with sweet and savory.

    Not a damn thing. There aren’t enough words in the English language to express the animosity I feel towards this world.

        We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It’s been 9 years. I don’t know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it’s still crazy comfortable.

    Playing X4, despite the crashes.

    But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids’ progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I’m actually being any good

      That sounds like rewarding work. I feel like even if they’re not progressing that fast, just having a positive role model in their life is probably really meaningful

        X4 is a very complex game. You start as a relative nobody in space, but can earn money to create big mining and trading fleets to get more money while you’re busy with other stuff, finally using said money to buy military fleets.

        It’s full of eurojank, it’s a huge time sink (I’m a bit over 100h now), but it may be the kind of thing that tickles your neurons just right.

    Cycling now that the weather’s warmer. My family and pets. Coffee and word games.

    Thanks for the reminder to look for the good. I often feel like there should be so much more, but I know that’s more than some people have, so I should feel lucky.

    Started a new job that I landed after nearly a year of being unemployed. 100’s of applications and maybe 10 interviews for my effort. I finally get a break from that fucking slog.

    I think I’ve done a reasonable job improving my dovetail jig.

    That 12 inch Porter Cable model; it has some problems with repeatability. The reference marks are quite wide and positioned in a way to give a lot of parallax error. There was no real way to quantify how far you’ve moved the template in and out, which meant it’s basically guaranteed to come out of alignment. So I took a knife to it. Scribed the alignment line around all the tines and put graduation marks on the brass thumb wheels. It’s a lot easier to be deliberate in adjusting this thing now.

    It still needs a few other things here and there, and I need to put those alignment marks on other templates. But it’s a start.

    Its summer here and I hate summers!! But I feel so greateful and happy that I am in a safe and comfortable enough environment to be able to be naked whenever it is too hot.

    This is such a privilege considering I am a girl.

              Partly a cultural thing, i already speak french fluently and i like the culture in france more than the culture of Québec (canada’s french speaking province, where i live).

              But also practical, i want to live in a walkable city and the only real option in Québec is almost as expensive as living in paris’ 19 arrondissements. I could find a nice place that’s less expensive to live in in france, at least, i hope.

              edit: where are you moving from, actually?

                Ok I get it now.

                From the middle-east. I’m going there to find a software developer job, hopefully.

                  I’m actually looking at a similar job :)

                  Good luck though! I’ve heard that immigrating to france is pretty hard if you don’t have bloodright citizenship

    The bees. All our hives made it through winter and a fairly mild spring so far has given them a boost. Queens are laying like crazy, workers are working hard.

    I’ve started wearing very thin gloves while inspecting the hives after realising that they make it less likely I’ll be stung, because I can be gentler. A bonus is that I can feel the warmth of the bees, and that really does bring me joy.
