big toblerone is not a treat. it's a symbol. a line in the sand. for as long as big toblerone is here, all is cosy. alas, time waits for no man, and entropy claims all. eventually big toblerone is no more; the winter candle that's flickered its last desultory wisp, leaving naught but the dark.

cannot express how refreshing it was to spend two weeks forgetting about balancing user needs with shareholder value via the drawing of sick rectangles. might just try and become a professional pokemon yellow streamer tbh.

they're actually really good if you get good signal. the tp-link ones are decent value, especially if you'll only be connecting a few devices. some of the more expensive ones (prices can get silly tbh) are supposed to be better for tonnes of devices. went cheap and it was fine.

generally do not enjoy the holiday period but i am so very excited to just fall off the face of the earth for a few weeks. perfect time to forget everything but dog cuddles, video games, and percy pigs.

okay so i finally did the maths (well, code, really) to calculate the combined length of all the mindful design course videos.

28 hours : 51 minutes : 36 seconds

almost 30hrs of my stupid face talking about rectangles and the importance of not being a prick.

never ever ever want to read an article about trans people written by a cis journalist ever again thanks. maybe fucking source and pay trans writers? it's like trying to read a football article by someone who's only ever had the concept of balls explained to them by three small dogs in a trenchcoat.
