Tired, death (not mine), very bad mental health (not mine), unethical psych stuff, substance use, just real bad vibes and sui****, venting 

Friday was a big day. Saturday was a big day. Today, I try to rest.

Today, I cannot entirely rest.

I had a phone call with a friend from college. Another one of our friends died a couple of days ago. We hadn't been close.

He'd been kind of an ass to his girlfriend, who eventually left him a few years ago. He was broke, delusional, and insisted that he was getting sufficient psych help because someone he knew online was ostensibly writing (with intent to publish) an academic paper on his presentation of DID. The friends who were visiting him at the time pushed, but didn't want to actively do something against his will. A couple of weeks later, he was found dead, presumably of asphyxiation or overdose.

Once upon a time, he was really cool. But, more relevantly, he was also an asshole. People tried for years to get him to be less of an asshole. He treated others and himself badly. But he clearly was in need of more help than he got, and his death weighs.

We checked in on him. We did as much work as we could stomach. And he was still an asshole and he is still dead. Sometimes, the world is just ugly.

Be careful about where you're getting your mental health help from, and maybe check in on your friends who are trying to navigate things like finding a therapist or getting competent treatment. And, you know, if sobriety is hard, maybe go talk to someone you trust about that.

If you're dating an asshole, it's okay to stop and leave. This could have been so much worse if his ex weren't elsewhere.

Life is fleeting. Maybe love your friends a little louder today. Big oof day.

If anyone's looking to get a cheap capture card, get this:
https://github.com/maximus64/vxis-capture-fw-mod

It can record at 1080p60 raw, the firmware is very hackable, and there's somewhat of a community working on writing an alternative firmware for it.

As reality continues to have more nervous energy than a puppy drinking espresso, I'm grateful to have #CircusInPlace.

While I'm in there training my acrobatic skills, it's also become a little oasis filled with friends willfully talking about anything but the grim details of the day.

It has saved my insanity during the last year and a half, and I'm happy to be able to share that space with anyone who needs it.

The video chat starts at 8pm UTC-5, and runs all night.

I spent a day helping to maintain a 3000-year-old hillside chalk monument with a group from Long Now London. Crushing chalk into the ground with a hammer was so satisfying that I kept forgetting to enjoy the view, and I had some great conversations with the interesting people that the task attracted (including @mdales)

Here's a writeup with photos from the previous excursion: medium.com/the-long-now-founda

Anyone have any recommendations for good places to buy crochet supplies online? Particularly somewhere with a good selection of non-wool yarn.

Please donate to the #StopLine3 bail fund, even if you can only give a dollar or two that is that much closer to someone to make bail.

You want @mwl@io.mwl.io

I create special editions of books for charity auctions at conferences. The plague has shut down the cons, so I'm opening this to THE WHOLE DANGED INTERNET.

Only five copies of this edition of "FreeBSD Mastery: Jails" exist. Four are spoken for. Help human trafficking survivors start their lives over.

friendly reminder that:

- you do not need to think someone is the scum of the earth to block them or mute them
- being blocked or muted does not mean you are a bad person in any way shape or form
- you have a right to surround yourself with people you enjoy, indeed, you have a right to happiness
- people liking you doesn't mean you are a good person
- you liking something or someone doesn't mean that that thing is good

it is a misconception I think a lot of people hold, and it's not truth.

If you live in the USA please call your senators and representatives and tell them to apply pressure on President Biden to stop the Line 3 pipeline. #StopLine3 #USpolitics

If you don't know who your representative or senators are or don't know their contact info you can use this website to find out: whoaremyrepresentatives.org/

Below in the image is a script for calling your reps by @asgitsga on twitter. Of course you can say something else, this is just an idea.
