it was nice knowing y’all. 2007-2022, wow. births, deaths, everything in between: met the wife here, made friends, met amazing people, had multiple career/life 180s and still found community. i will miss everyone! i don’t love mastodon so i’ll just be floating around lurking. ❤️

NEW: The designers leading Elon Musk’s Blue verified project are out, along with the lead web engineer. Many Twitter employees who maintained critical infrastructure have resigned. This is going to look like a very different company tomorrow.

@a_hoverbear @grhmc @wilsonjholmes If you install fish via Nix outside of NixOS you can also override it to inject the nix profile at the same point that NixOS normally provides its own env vars, though sadly this requires rebuilding fish as it has to write a file into the same derivation.

I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now. For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous. But it's time people know KiwiFarms—and how they're chasing political enemies around the world.

@bilm @kabojnk @AphroditeSW @jeffmc I know I’m 2.5 years late to this news but, fuck.

@kabojnk @AphroditeSW @jeffmc Well. Fuck.

Man, just got the wind knocked out of my sails today. @jeffmc was probably the closest thing to a mentor/role-model I had, not to mention a terrific friend who has done a lot for me the past few years. Really in shock to see him go.

If you thought carbon offsets were a scam, just wait till you see the new kind of offset that cloudflare came up with!

April King 🌀@CubicleApril

It is downright embarrassing that an entire team of writers and reviewers at @Cloudflare thought that this was something to brag about on their blog. Can you imagine retailers being like, “yeah we sell Confederate flags in our stores but we donate all the proceeds to charity.”

poll -- 3 polls do you have cPTSD, BPD, or think you might have it, and/or went through trauma and neglect to the degree that it shaped you (trauma/I'm fine) do you think human beings are mostly kind of gross, only sometimes being able to transcend that (gross/okay)

every fucking time they are white, and it is a variation of kidnapping, nanny, or adoption. there’s also q’s about externally visible genitalia of the kids. bonus: if they know there’s not a husband, they want to know which vagina birthed them (none!) and if we used donors. 🤮

I was getting coffee with my daughter this morning. A white woman saw us, came over to us and said, “ohhhh, whose child did you steal.” I laughed and said, “only white people can steal other people’s kids and act like they’re theirs.” She grabbed her coffee and left.

2 years of medical intervention to ttc, 2 awful pregnancies w/hemorrhaging and 9mo of HG, and 2 kids later: no trouble removing tubes but everyone pushed back on a hysto. it‘s been easier to explore from a gender affirming standpoint than just that i’m fucking done with it. 🤨

i would love for apple to come out with a simplified privacy-preserving guide to tracking cycles in the Health app, along with changes to make sharing and off-device storage of this data more difficult and with a warning. paper tracking can be a nonstarter for disabled folks 🤷🏻

@isaiah Wow that sounds really bizarre. Kinda neat to consider but probably had some logistical problems when dealing with young kids 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got diagnosed recently with fibromyalgia. I’m not sure if there’s anything really to talk about with this, I just realized I hadn’t shared that here.

English

Lily Ballard@LilyInTech·18 Haz

@isaiah Thanks 💕 And yeah I’m sure I’ll find something now that I have a doctor that actually cares

English

Lily Ballard@LilyInTech·18 Haz

@isaiah I’m really glad it’s working for you. It looks like it’s approved for fibro as well, but I’ll have to talk to my doctor to figure out what’s the best for me

@isaiah It turns out there’s a drug used off-label for fibro that can really help with the sleep problems, but it’s literally GHB 😅

English

Lily Ballard@LilyInTech·18 Haz

@isaiah I’ve heard that Gabapentin can help. I used to take that for some nerve damage. I was trying Effexor but the side effects are not great, so I need to talk to my doctor again about the next thing to try.
