I started making empty folders on my desktop with little reminders for how I want to live my life. My meta-rule is that I speak only of what I'm aiming for, not what I'm trying to avoid—no don'ts, no can'ts, no shouldn'ts.

What folders would you put on your desktop?
A list of folders, which read: Ask, even if you're afraid the answer might be "no". Each and every part of you deserves a vote and a voice. Every thought and action is a vote for who you want to be. Keep doors open until you're sure you want to close them. Kill the part of you that cringes. Love is nothing more or less than unconditional acceptance. Say yes to things that might work out, even if you're afraid.

I am not done shirtposting
A picture of my shirt, which reads: “YOU MATTER. Until you multiply yourself times the speed of light squared. THEN YOU ENERGY.”

I had <30mi to spare, lol.

Anyway, I had hot dogs and chili and a margarita for dinner, so it’s all good. Grabbed a hotel in Toledo for the night. Let’s see how far I make it tomorrow.

Dropped the car on the fast charger for the first time this trip, and this is a really funny way to show charge rate, haha.
The dashboard of my Bolt EV, showing a “regen” rate of 53 kW even though the car is stopped.

Every time I have to interact with Shortcuts, it is a frustrating experience. I get that I'm not the target audience (I'd much rather write Actual Code), but like... could you at least TELL me what the problem is???
An error message that says: "There was a problem running the shortcut." Sadly, the error message does not say what the problem was.

lolll. gg @concept.country

"The cat-coding-anxious-queer archetype is practically a Concept recruitment category at this point, but we'd like to see more evidence of Des building rather than just maintaining existing systems before offering a higher grade."

I... you know what, that's a fair hit.
A Concept Country passport for "Desynthia Purr-Turing", pronouns mew/mewr/mewrs, with an assessment summary that reads: "Des exhibits the quintessential blend of digital nativity and existential anxiety that makes for a promising Concept citizen. Their technical prowess with Tab Stash development and thoughtful commentary on digital spaces show potential, while their therian identity and exploration of form beyond human boundaries aligns nicely with biocosmist values. However, their current emotional turmoil and tendency toward withdrawal when overwhelmed suggests they might struggle with the more ambitious cognitive expansions Concept pursues. The cat-coding-anxious-queer archetype is practically a Concept recruitment category at this point, but we'd like to see more evidence of Des building rather than just maintaining existing systems before offering a higher grade."

A screenshot of an Apple Maps "report an issue" form. The issue being reported is that the name of the place is wrong. "Gulf of Mexico" is filled in for the correct name. The comment says, "really, Apple? Are we really doing this? Please do not give into the orange baby's tantrums. 🙄"

Boston looked quite pretty in the afternoon sun. Today was very much a “make your own fun” kind of day since everyone else I know locally was busy. Glad I got outside for a bit.

How to find me at ANE
const ANE = [/* ... */]; function findAnimal(con, who) { let start = 0; let end = con.length; while (start !== end) { // Math.floor() instead of .ceil() to avoid PCD // (post-con dereferencing) const where = Math.floor((end - start) / 2) + start; if (con[where] === who) { return where; } else if (con[where] > who) { end = where; } else { start = where; } } return undefined; } const des = findAnimal(ANE, "Des");
