i have noticed that productivity under adhd is like racing in mario kart. it's hard to start moving but if you keep building up momentum and doing things you can blaze through all the stuff. the problem is, if you get hit by an obstacle, you drop everything

I ran out of gender fluid, where is the next refill station?

I haven't gotten a communicable illness in almost five years, and I'm immunocompromised and highly susceptible to communicable illnesses! How did I do it, you ask?

It's masking. That's it. That's the whole secret.

I wear an N95 when I'm around people who aren't my spouse or I'm in a space that recently had those people in it, and he does the same. We don't unmask around anyone who's been unmasked around others in the past two weeks. Zero exceptions. Zero infections.

Need a fancy name to use instead of #selfhosting? I got something for ya ;)

Introducing #SPI — the Sovereign Private Infrastructure. Sounds a lot more sophisticated :) (Yes, I work in marketing, I admit :)

And yes, the S could also be Self-managed or Self-owned if you want to avoid Sovereign. I however think it is time to take language back from the extremists. Best way is to confuse them. Divide et impera, as true Federati should do :)

If anyone happens to know the street photographer in Exeter who just caught me being attacked by pigeons, please: I *need* a copy of that. Thank you!

You start a new international train service on 15 December. When do you announce it and start ticket sales?

and think 3 December is acceptable

when i first coded my blog i was like, should i have comments? and instead i decided to make a static site without analytics or javascript because the only comment i really want is "i believe in us, comrade"

@beeps Absolutely, and segmenting up the intersection risks escalating from the already not-great implication that neopronouns are a combination of he/she/they to implying that particular neopronouns align more strongly with particular "standard" pronouns - which is something we probably shouldn't assume.

Maybe the user setting the pronoun could decide where on the intersection is highlighted, with perhaps an option of choosing a point outside of the rings entirely.

But at a certain point it begins to stretch the constraints and utility of the iconography.

@beeps Neat idea, I'm not sure that I love that the neopronouns are a clear afterthought all bunched together in one category - but nice to have interactive iconography for pronouns otherwise.

Somehow I hadn't (knowingly) seen the pronoun icon before now, but somehow I've seen it multiple times today.

That's sorta neat.

Nu ben ik echt al tijden volwassen maar ik heb nog steeds geen glijbaan in huis.

I think there ought to be significantly more memes utilizing this image, it's so good 🏴‍☠️

Firehose access on Bluesky gets shut off for Bridgy Fed for a while https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/3094 https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1520#issuecomment-2492534380

Not malicious, but what's notable here is that Bridgy Fed was unable to work w/ Bluesky during this period. I think @mcc is right that it's a reminder this is a result of centralization https://mastodon.social/@mcc/113541216191108214

My train which normally ends in Utrecht wil continue to Groningen Europapark, but the middle trainset will end in Zwolle. I don't believe that
