Good morning to everyone except the guy running a leaf blower in the parking lot behind my bedroom window, at 7:30 this morning.

Looks like someone anonymously leaked Marble Madness II for arcade...

I am looking forward to the weirdo arcade collector meltdowns

Brain seems to have left the building for today

public speaking 

Me, at the last day of #gpn20: "I didn't expect them to accept all three talks, after preparing and holding them all, I feel like I need a vacation."

Me, one day later: "I wonder what talks I'll submit for Congress this year"

there should be a free hosting service where you can only upload a single html file to your account, but pointing a domain to it is free

thinking about how one of my Gmail accounts is so old it was in the closed beta (back when you really did need to know someone to get an invite and they didn't just give em out)

back when the reaction to a new Google product was "fuck yes" and not "oh god why"

Standard procedure for kids that can't deal with school: referral to child psychiatry, neuropsychiatric assessment, neuropsychiatric diagnosis and medication.

Procedures almost never seen: (1) an attempt to understand the kid and adapt the environment to make things work, (2) holistic perspective involving the kid's entire world, not only school.

The internet having become a Space For Ads bothers me beyond words. Not only are we being bombarded with increasingly more desperate and manipulative drivel intended to get one to consume seventy flavors of the same worthless crap, the fact that ad companies have such say in what gets put on platforms to the point of censoring or removing completely normal and/or important words from our lexicon in the places they're most likely to be seen by people who need access to those words.

Hi my name is Hearth and I'm a trans woman in Florida.

My lease is up at the end of the month and I'm trying desperately to find work and somewhere to live. If you know of someone or somewhere with space, so I don't end up with family. If you have anything, please let me know!

If anyone knows somewhere that might be hiring, preferably remote, I have a ton of experience in tech and will gladly apply.

May not happen soon, but the possibility exists that Netflix can just shut down, and all of the media they've produced will be lost.

It'd be a good idea to pirate/download your favorite series/movies from Netflix since they haven't made any physical copies.

Since Mastodon is the elephant app, that makes all other social networks irrelephant.

@schratze I like that many of them start up on the accessibility settings now though.

Back in the day (tm) one could often not turn on subtitles before the opening cinematic played
