@lyncia you can get your teeth sharpened, I knew a guy who did that and it was amazing.
@squeakypancakes ok I saw the user I think you posted about lmao.
@squeakypancakes nah they just don't read bios and hit that button on every profile.
As a trained firefighter I'm astounded/horrified at the number of reporters not wearing masks while reporting on the fires in LA.
A good story isn't worth sacrificing your life and health to hydrocarbons and burning plastic. The average home in 2025 is so toxic while burning that it's hard to watch; far more toxic than homes historically have ever been throughout history. This is something they drilled into us deeply while training.
The cause and effect can be long term and utterly devastating. A mask is gonna save your life in the coming years, be it pandemic or flames.
Wear a mask, shower often. Wash your hands before you eat. A lot of firefighters died before we figured out those basics.
PS- if you have a paint respirator with VOC cartridges even better.
anarchism and doomerism
@hazelnot it helped me realize some things, but if you are more existentialist than a nihilist (in the joyful sense) it definitely won't have that kind of impact.
JFC please don't use floating point types for calculating financial transactions or storing monetary values. I just got asked to review some code by someone and it is the first thing I spotted.
anarchism and doomerism
@hazelnot whoever recommended desert as a "hopeful" text was pulling your leg. That's gotta be the most bleak anarchist writing ever. It takes a very particular kind of person to read it and be kicked into action.
I have it on my bookshelf and appreciate it for what it is, but it is not for the faint of heart. Honest reading guides usually suggest reading something extremely hopeful aferwards.
visited another, bigger, dam, got a full guided tour, and it was sooo awesome
also til there are a large enough population of dam nerds that they've created "dam facts" collectable trading cards
all of which costs: $0
@ExperimentV I feel this
There are literally entire books about "passing." (Looks pointedly at Nella Larsen)
And, yes, this is relevant. Unfortunately far too many white people think books written by Black authors are "Black stuff," without realizing that the other side of that coin never seems to be that books written by white authors are "white stuff."
questions re: the flu currently going around
I'm like 90% sure I have the flu and I was looking into the symptoms I have cause they seem a bit unusual, at least compared to what the typical flu symptoms are from what I've read, and came across a subreddit for it (r/flu lol) where people were talking about how they've had this for 2, 3, 4 weeks, someone said they were on day 35 of it and that's fucking wild?
Like, I've been dizzy for the past few days, sweating like hell during *some nights*, stuff like that, and idk what's up?
Is anyone else dealing with this flu or dealt with it recently? What was your experience? Any advice? I've been unable to see a doctor and I might still be unable to until Friday, so, uh, yeah

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake
if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
