Self-sabotage. Procrastination. Rotting in bed.
mmm ill have one of those, to go.
The way the world is going right now? …survival.
Legal writing & holding local public officials accountable fo bad actions.
Protecting my privacy. I am gender nonconforming and on HRT. So with the current political atmosphere and the fact that it has enabled and encouraged hate speech and attacks, I’ll new to be more careful on platforms that my identity is more prevalent.
I’m not going to hide, as I’m not hiding by posting here. But I’m going to remove my data from corporate platforms that have connections to law enforcement and have poor security that insist on keeping my personal details. Can’t trust the federal government or any company, starting next year if the Project 2025 or Trump’s plan are truly put in place.
I’m a cis het in the most protected racial class and gender and I’m scrubbing my shit. Facebook and Reddit accounts have been deleted and this and mastodon linked to a protonmail account accessed through a VPN are my only social accounts. We all have something to be afraid of and I’m already thinking about how to build an Anne Frank hideaway in my laundry room for my trans and brown friends. Protect yourself and hit me up if there’s some way I can help.
lowering my expectations
hopefully, pretending to be straight or asexual; and being able to be happy without friends, as these will be needed survival skills
We’re better together. Don’t try to survive on your own, having friends you can trust is crucial for survival
that’s unfortunate, as I don’t really have any close friends I’d say I trust or could count on for more than thoughts and prayers. oh well.
sometimes that’s just how it is.
I understand. Making (and keeping) friends, especially as an adult, is hard. What I meant was that you shouldn’t isolate yourself
well it’s too late for that, as I’m already isolated, so again – hopefully I will soon be better at being happy with little to be happy about.
Exobiology in Elite: Dangerous. Just started last night and is already making some progress.
Running, hopefully.
I started learning how to make karaoke videos. Because the songs I like to sing are not readily available in karaoke format on YouTube.
I made a channel for it and everything 😉 I’m getting ready to publish my 2nd video very soon.
My goal is to try to do 1 song per month at a minimum. But, I do also have a day job and life stuff to juggle. So the YouTube channel is just a hobby.
Basic music theory and guitar playing.
Also, learning how to use an Altair 8800 clone
Speellng.
Swimming, I used to swim in high school but I’ve been out of practice for a couple decades, I got back in the pool a couple of weeks ago and struggled to swim 500 yards which is something I used to do in 6 minutes so I’ve been going a few times a week and pushed myself to 600 yards the last few sessions, anyway I want to try for 1000 yards by the end of the year.
Flute! I started learning it last December, it’s been nearly a year and I’ve learned SO much. Going to keep at it and get even better!
Software development. I’m still not very good, but I’m better than I was at the start of the year.
Traditional wetshaving
Safety razor is the way to go! Take it slow and let the weight of the safety razor do the work. It’s so much cheaper than the multi blade razors too!
Definitely. It’s also so much more enjoyable!
Deno2 and typescript. For no particular reason the release of Deno2 has prompted me to build a web app in my spare time. I mostly a sysadmin, I haven’t written anything but APIs and utility scripts for at least 5 years.
