This is the tarot deck by the way and it's maybe my favorite deck I've ever seen:

Social media is hard because it feels like you're supposed to post about a limited number of types of things and I am a person who just got home from a used book store trip with:

- a book about repairing [insert the model of pre-2000s vehicle we own]
- a book about how to build sheds w/ plans
- a Naomi Klein book
- an ocarina
- a tarot deck

these are all relevant to my interests, so following me is just spinning a roulette wheel every time I post.

"What's in a Farmhouse Yeast?"

Gonna start keeping a journal of every time I say something like, "I love talking to people!" and my mom replies with something like, "I never would have believed it years ago." for when I inevitably finally officially come out to her.

(The difference is HRT. Turns out living as yourself helps you be yourself.)

It's been storming and I think she was anxious about it and behaving kinda erratic. Unfortunately this means I have not fallen back asleep

I'm not saying this is a *good* way to wake up. (It's not.)
But the cat biting my ass (really hard for some reason??) was an effective way to jolt me awake.

hm.

Lot of excellent art in a variety of mediums on the timeline today

I love when Puzzmo has queer hints and answers in the crossword.

Ughhh the oui-spy update got a bunch of claude commits, this sucks.

Last boost: I previously boosted the infographic of picking up a snail. I should have researched it before boosting, and would have found out it was AI slop.

I've unboosted it. I'll try and do better about researching the things I boost.

Some good reporting and accountability work here by TIRRC.
TN Highway Patrol (THP) has been working closely with ICE here.

"'Guilty until proven innocent?' Video from Nashville THP/ICE stops revives questions of racial profiling

Analysis of the newly released footage reveals moments where troopers reacted differently when they assumed drivers/passengers were born outside the US"

Please don't give chat apps a photo of your face to analyze with "AI".

For that matter, please don't give anyone online a photo of your face to analyze with any tool.

Okay so I'm starting to get the hang of #knitting the ribbing, and unfortunately it looks way better than the mess at the start of this project so I guess I'm gonna start over in a few more rows (I want a lil more practice lol, I keep forgetting which stitch I'm on)

Trying to make a cute thread bobbin printout that I like... 🤔

(Based on this template [you fold them in the middle to get more strength]: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/printable-linen-floss-bobbins-4018973 )

I put all my skill points in software and 0 into hardware, so the hardest part of this for me may have been figuring out how to read a pinout diagram and figure out which pin the buzzer is mapped to.

Feeling good about figuring that out lol

Eventually maybe I'll proper fork the repo and make this available, if I test the thing and it works.

Could I have just ordered an ESP S3 or C3? Yes. But that would be too easy.
