As I am getting older, I have come to the conclusion that the trick is not to stop #procrastinating - which would require more willpower than I have to spare - but to procrastinate in a way that will benefit _one_ of my longer-term goals, even if it's not the one I ought to work towards right now.

@0xabad1dea When I was at $ISP tech support in 1998, we had an all-staff email asking us to go to the break room to scream, because although we could mute our own phone mics it was picked up by others.

You know what’s not talked about enough …

Mourning a friendship that doesn’t exist anymore.

Mourning for people who are still alive but are no longer apart of your life.

Mourning over memories.

Mourning over relationships/friendships that just aren’t the same.

Mourning over parts of your story that are no longer talked about or brought up because the people in those memories have taken different paths.

It’s really sad and such a strange feeling to experience.

Anyway. If you’re struggling with this, and thought you were alone … I’m here to say you’re not. It’s real and it sucks.

trans people who changed their legal gender and name in Netherlands (especially if you're not a Dutch citizen but still an EU citizen): can you outline the procedure for me? i am familiar with the vague basics but i want to know everything step by step and especially the cost of it

i know i cannot pursue it yet but i need to put my brain to rest about that: if it matters i am also interested in changing my last name besides my given one so if theres a different path for it let me know

(i know changing the gender marker to X is a bit more complicated but my case is F to M change)

Tijdens een vergadering op mijn werk:
• Stip op de horizon
• Lijnorganisatie
• Duurzaamheid
• AI
Dit waren de meest gebruikte termen. Deze woorden hoor ik bij zo wat elke vergadering. Het maakt niet uit waarover het gaat. In de praktijk betekent het dat
• het doel niet vaststaat,
• anderen het moeten uitvoeren,
• veel energie wordt verspilt en dat
• een gedegen onderzoek naar het gebruik van kunstmatige intelligentie
ontbreekt.

Interesting. In the ferry cabin's en suite bathroom there is a speaker for the PA system.

The speaker is located somewhere near, and below the toilet.

Have you any idea how creepy it is when a PA announcement starts below your arse while sat on the loo?

taking HRT is a lot like being a victorian mad scientist

“two years past, i began a series of forbidden experiments. forced to work in secret, i was left with myself as the only suitable test subject.

“my experiments were highly successful. i have been invigorated beyond my wildest dreams, my faculties are increased, i have gained youth and beauty untold.

“the experiments, however, came at a cost. once a week, i must inject myself with the serum, or i begin a transformation most monstrous…”

Calling it "adulting" makes a lot of sense because "adult" is a culturally constructed role. When you are "adulting" you are often performing tasks to satisfy society, not yourself. You are doing tasks that have been obligated to complete simply by virtue of being an "adult".

I like the term "adulting" because it implies that you are doing an activity that isn't the default state of a human
