Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I’m thankful to still be here. I’m thankful for the people who’ve helped keep me here. I think that’s the best I can do right now. Maybe that’s okay.
Even though I don’t do Thanksgiving (I’m English by birth and upbringing, and for obvious reasons it’s not a thing for us), I should take the chance to reflect on all the parts of my life for which I’m thankful.
I *should* do that.
But I honestly can’t be arsed.
Not a great sign. Hormones. Blah.

"Subscribe or I will eat your cookies" is one of the better subscription requests I've seen creators make on YouTube.
I mean, it won't work – I use TubeArchivist – but it's still charmingly offbeat.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

A few years ago I was a foolish girl and overwound a lovely mechanical pocket watch I'd only just bought from @mylittleties.com. As much as I love intricate repair work, fixing it is *far* beyond my skill; from what I've read, the mainspring is probably broken. Today I'll finally find a repair shop.

Long shot, but does anyone have a circa-2000 SCSI->USB adapter I can borrow? I really want to image the HD from my old Quadra 650, but the adapters run $250-$400 on eBay, and I can't justify that for a one-off use case driven by nostalgia for my bygone childhood and the joys of computer exploration.

Mostly we stopped hating ourselves, started to try and take better care of ourselves, make doctor’s appointments, eat right, establish necessary life boundaries, etc. All the stuff we weren’t doing before we started transitioning and it all adds up.

This is kind and reassuring while also mildly irritating. Transition has not affected my eyesight. I can see that I smile more, laugh more, am more myself, but I can also see my hairline and my height. The former is far more important to me, but the latter still stings, and it’s not my imagination.
every girl looking at other girl's transitions: "omg! wow! you have become a vision of beauty even the gods could not begin to approach, what magic formed you into this immaculate shape???"
the same girl about her own: "yeah, i mean, my skin's a little softer and my hair grew out, i guess… nbd?"

Pet peeve: tearing down a vintage iBook to then only replace some thermal paste and buff the case does not count as "restoring and upgrading" it. I don't want to be gatekeepery, but at best, that's simply "maintenance" on a machine that's already in excellent condition. At least recap the mainboard.
