Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Welp, washing machine error code; failed to drain. Pump refused to run, just made a humming noise, so I figured that it must be busted.
Cleaned out the filter anyway, and what do you know, it pumps fine again? Still not quite sure why that helped - there were no obvious blockages in the filter, other than some gunk buildup. I guess the gunk provided too much friction for the pump to run?
Either way, that turned out to be easier to fix than expected, especially as initially the washing machine was full of water (but it turned out that putting the hose in a bucket was enough to drain it, even without a working pump). Just a bit messy water-wise.

I will say that “helmet with face shield” has been my biggest upgrade for biking in the rain BY FAR
so much better than getting rain all over my glasses 🙏

furry, trans, incredibly neurodivergent on main
It still surprises me how much the emotions that wearing a pair of fox ears and tail evokes in me resemble gender euphoria.
If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe it, maybe even offended by the comparison - these two aspects seem so unrelated and on such different levels of importance.
But walking around my apartment with my tail tied on and feeling it bounce against my thighs or pushed against me while sitting on the couch or laying in bed *genuinely* brings that same kind of "what a relief, this is my true form" comfort. It doesn't feel like clothes or a costume, my brain fully just processes it as a part of me - it's wild.
And sometimes, if I'm cuddling with a partner and they stroke my hair or back a certain way for a little while, I feel a mental shift into what I call "foxmode" where my mannerisms become a lot more fox-like - nuzzling, pawing, nonverbal except for little purrs or yips. My surefire indicator of this is my fingers: in foxmode, I scrunch them up so they're only one knuckle long to look more like paws. And when foxmode wears off, I straight them back out. And all of this is purely instinctual: at no point am I like "let's be a little silly and fun right now".
Honestly makes me question if I'm not just furry, but therian. Maybe writing all this out is kinda telling tbh

Also the actual thing I made the order for, aluminium profiles, is of quite good quality (for not very much money) so honestly I'm pretty happy

En maar jammeren en maar klagen. Mijn opa zei 60 jaar geleden al, hoe harder een boer klaagt, hoe beter hij het heeft!
Geld geen probleem voor de Nederlandse boer. Helft boerengezinnen bij hoogste inkomens

tfw you see a 90s style website but it uses like nuxt js or some shit so includes 500mb of different js files when it could easily have been made in php and/or xslt or even some fucking js static site generator like eleventy or some other thing that maybe even uses jsx or whatever it is

Loving how many of these Cabinet members are non-White and/or women.
Krasnov's going to hate every single member of this government. As he should – because it's none of his business.

In 2019, Iceland became one of the first countries to approve a four-day workweek. Here's how things have been going for them.
2021: "Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were an "overwhelming success""
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57724779
2024: "Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay."
https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/business/iceland-shorter-working-week-economy/index.html
2025: "The effects of the shorter workweek in Iceland have extended far beyond the office."

vague about news & CWs, lack thereof
fwiw
there is a big difference between educating people to understand what's going on
and creating an endless flood of The Details
like for example, I am exceptionally grateful how many people are relentlessly documenting all of the terrible things happening right now. this is good and important. sharing it, with adequate warning, is good and important
but I don't need All The Details
for example, I am still on the never-ending hell quest to get my partner in the country so we can finally be together. I wish there were an easier path, like me maybe going to her instead, but this is the best we've got. and knowing all of the details about immigration shit, and trans shit, happening right now, is very useful and good.
but quite frankly, I do not need to be inundated with untagged content about the latest border-related suffering happening right now. it does not help. you just make it so sometimes I get so stressed and upset I have to just lie down and accept I'll get nothing good done for the rest of the day.
please tag your posts. giving it without adequate warning does not help

The rich man has no use for me
Nor have I any use for he
He’ll judge a man by the clothes he wears
Judge I a man by the burden he bears
On the other hand, they *did* include a few parts that I didn't actually order
I now also know why the parcel was delayed by a day because the box had clearly been damaged in shipping and patched up with tape
Just received an online order, and using a heatsealer to split a ziploc bag into compartments sure is a... choice.
One that makes the whole 'ziploc' part completely useless 🙃
