Very familiar with anxiety and panic and here to talk to if you ever need it.

Only good advice is also the most obvious: Take time for yourself. Don't force yourself to do things when you know you can't. The exhaustion builds up and takes a toll. People are generally very understanding in my experience.

[<3 manlethotline To anyone wondering if it's worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. | spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. | had it down to a system where every night | would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones | could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up. | would have already purged the whole zone. | knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when and where the stickers appeared. | probably could have found them in person if I'd wanted to. And | told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever. My point is, a lot of this fashy or right wing stuff is one local weirdo. And if you pay attention, and do a little light organizing with your friends, you can basically make their efforts into a giant sisyphisean exercise in misery. You control your streets!

I had a similar experience in the Covid pandemic. A bunch of conspiracist anti-vax stickers appeared on lamp posts around town here. I took to tearing them off, or if stuck down too well I'd apply a marker pen. The next week I found someone else had got there with the marker before me, and a couple of weeks later they stopped appearing.

I'm so fucking sick of these attacks on human rights.

I propose the following course of action:

We pick a specific target and trash its value.
- Do whatever we can to make it lose money, customers, resources, employees, reputation.
- Do our best to make it toxic waste that investors won't touch.
- We make it easy for anyone to join the carnage.
- We keep hammering it until it dies or we get protections

Then we collectively pick another target and do it again.

And again.

Until the dying screams of US corporations reach the ears of those with the power to call off the attacks on women, minorities, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and everyone else this administration is going after.

When they stop, we stop, negotiate, and stand ready to start again if they don't follow through.

Why do people obfuscate hashtags? I think they've missed the point of a hashtag...

Been looking for an alternative to Google Maps. Organic Maps (OpenStreetMap) is great, but it doesn't know the bus routes in my city.

I remembered that the GRT (local transit) website had a trip planner that I used to use in the pre-Google days. Decided to give that a go again.

Turns out they're just using Google Maps now. Understandable, but disappointing.

If you’re in #Ontario make sure you register to vote or you won’t get your voters card in the mail apparently.

F*ck off Doug Ford.

Edit: Multiple areas of the elections ON website say registered voters need to confirm to get their ballot. Unsure if it’s legit or if it’s poor marketing materials. I know it’s not Fords fault exactly, but I’m choosing to blame him. He called this snap election lol.

Edit 2: thanks to @CStamp we now know it’s poor marketing.

Register to vote, confirm update or add your information to the register at elections.on.ca by February 17. If you’re registered to vote, you’ll receive your voter information card in the mail with information about when and where to vote. You can still vote if you have not yet registered.

I have never before in my life touched a sewing machine, but now that I have one, I decided that the first thing I'd try to make was a pen roll for my #FountainPens (one of them is a ballpoint, but we don't talk about that). There are definitely some things I'd do differently the second time around, but I freaking love this machine!

If you're looking for a function that applies another function to each element of a list and aggregates the results, it'd typically be done with a list comprehension:

[your_function(item) for item in your_list]

But you can also use list(map(your_function, your_list)) if you want. Basically, it's a built-in function rather than a method of the list class.

There's also a whole discussion to be had about lists vs generators and why you often wouldn't even need to make a list in the first place, but I won't get into that unless you want to know more.

Just to provide some perspective here, the endpoint in question exists specifically to be crawled by robots, nodeinfo is not a user-facing page and does not serve a purpose for federation.

:boostRequest: could you please give me a boost? I'm begging you. :boostRequest:​​ πŸ₯Ί

I've got my goal for the moving funds met. I'm working on my escape plan but while at that I need to pay for my college and the monthly bills plus the vet instalments and other funds.

I've got a breather last month but I forgot to budget money for this month in advance so I don't have anything unless I tap into the saved funds for the move which I don't want to because even tho I'm planning any of my parents could flip the fuck out any moment and kick us out.

I'm currently unable to pay for anything as the month goes on and I really need to pay my bills 🀐

anything helps, every donation and boost. thank you very much for your continued support >.<

I ran out of the fancy medicinal cat food for my recovering cat last month and I wasn't able to buy more because I also ran out of litter and the normal food. I was hoping I could get some this month but the reality is that I haven't got enough even to cover my expenses and my credit card is already maxed.

I am afraid that it can get sick again and I haven't even paid the last of it's expenses yet so I've made this goal exclusively so that I can buy the food that should last me for 2 or so months.

any amount helps as does boosting!

my plans for moving are finally in motion and I will move by the middle of the year no fucking matter what and I'm looking for some work and it's been some hard as fuck days.

sleeping has been very hard and I've been once again subjected to direct abuse from my father. I also need help since my glasses broke last year and it is glued and holding on but I don't know for how long (and incidentally I found out I have this pair since 2017)

any amount helps. every donation and boost. thank you very much for your continued support >.<

I'm a black plural neurospicy trans woman struggling a lot.

my plans for moving are finally in motion and I will move by the middle of the year no fucking matter what.

I've decided to keep on studying linguistics after graduating in sociology and my parents will definitely not approve it 😬

currently my anxiety is through the roof not only due to money but everything else and I've been sleeping no more than 4 hours a day and it is destroying me. It makes it so much harder to persevere and to try and pursue my objectives and project but I still am doing my best to achieve everything and I definately will.

I need help paying for my glasses replacement installments, paying for my monthly expenses and what leftover expenses weren't met from last month and donations have slowed down significantly. πŸ™

thank you very much for your continued support >.<

Today I somehow fumbled an #org-mode keyboard command and made a file into an attachment on itself. I didn't know that was possible.

Fortunately, revision control came to the rescue.

I swear my hobby isn't as sketchy as the tools would have you believe, though it can perhaps be as expensive.

@Jonathan Lamothe are you also buying a significant amount of chemical mixtures especially brewed in small labs around the world?

TIL that tuning a glass pen with sandpaper (even the one included with the pen) should only be attempted by an experienced user.

Also, #today I gained a lot of experience in this area out of necessity after the fact. Still, I shan't be doing that again for a while.

Doing it in extremely small, barely noticeable increments with continual testing can work out, and the only way to become experienced is to test, fail, succeed, fail again, repeat. Hope you got it working in the end!
