self care tips for when you aren't sleeping enoguh, mh
4. If you can't sleep, spend at least 4 hours in bed with your eyes closed every night. I like to listen to an audiobook track, but make sure it's under thirty minutes or so. The goal is to be too tired to want to play the next one, not to have something you hear if you wake up in the middle of the night.

3. The energy you have can leave whenever. Even though it might feel like it's OK to skip chores because you'll still have energy to do them later, try to keep up with them. Eventually, you'll settle back down, and it's nice if you already have a clean kitchen when that happens.

2. Remember that you don't magically have energy stolen from the ether-- you might have drive or will, but you still need to eat and rest your eyes. If you don't, your eyes and stomach will hurt, and your body will get weaker. Make sure you continue to eat, drink water, and get some exercise, even if your schedule is unusual.

It's summer in the northern hemisphere. I live around 45°, so days up here can be a little long. I keep hearing from friends things like "I've hardly slept at all this weekend", and while yes, you really should sleep, I also wanted to put together a couple suggestions in case you find yourself buzzing from all the light and warmth.
1. Don't continue doing things just because 'you don't feel tired'. Use a gauge for what a 'full day' might have been a few months ago, and make sure to do nice, but boring things, like watching a show or playing a relaxing video game. Regular inclusion of boring things can help you get back into a better-regulated cycle.
Social things can be kind of bad for mellowing out because people will sometimes come in and start shit randomly, which can make it almost impossible to settle back down again in that group. This also extends to browsing social media. Settle for watching a mellow youtube documentary, or browsing an artist's portfolio instead, if you're looking for cute animals and/or pretty art.

So apparently we can easily help people out of poverty by providing aid, stopping evictions, increasing unemployment benefits and increasing wage pressures

Take a night off from the grim and join the clowns for the Emperor Norton Coffee Hour, where we get fueled up for an entire night of circus shenanigans with friends from all over the internet.
The fun starts at 7pm UTC-5, and goes until very late at night. Pop in any time!

disability useful language
today i learned the term "Energy-limiting chronic illness" (ELCI). one in three disabled people in the UK has some form of ELCI (ME/CFS is an example of a disability characterised by energy impairment) https://chronicillnessinclusion.org.uk/our-work/elci-energy-impairment-disability/

Today I heard from @handle that the next NLNet grant application deadline is in 4 days -- I also learned that this year they have a new category called "User Operated Internet". I got really excited about this because the last time I applied to the NLNet grant program, there wasn't really a good category for my project to fit under. But "User Operated Internet" is perfect!

I spent today throwing up a rough draft of a home page for my project. In the past I have called it Greenhouse, but I am thinking now I'm going to change the name to Server Garden, because the original thing that was going to be called Server Garden is now on hiatus.
Please take a look and let me know what you think! I know it has tons of issues, but I'm still interested to hear what folks think about it:

With the ESP32 being capable of running 80's PC emulation and with the existence of modern miniature TFT / OLED displays it's now possible to build a tiny, functional, self contained miniature PC for mice.
