This is an archive of my Mastodon account, and maybe in the future, noteworthy posts of mine that I might feel like archiving from other webites.
I'm currently manually updating this whenever I update the rest of my site, so posts might take a while to get here. It also currently doesn't have support for links or outgoing images, and it doesn't look very nice. But ain't it neat?
I wish MyChart a very merry go to hell and stop making me do phone calls forever

I have some delicious local blackberry jam and no idea what to do with it. Any recipes that use jam you guys like?

Maybe one of the funniest Linux moments ever: someone very funny decided to name another distro's package manager "Pacman", which I did not know it was for a different distro until I started running some commands from a help thread verbatim, and now I just have a Pacman clone on my computer.

I bought a couple local candles from the farmer's market. One's "fresh baked bread" and it smells AMAZING. It's by a local disability work program which actually looks very nice, secular too. Autism be damned my boy can make a candle

Guess what?
It's more Linux server maintenance

If I don't have Sparkling Ice I might actually dry up and wither

I'll look this up at home but I'm doing other stuff right now so I thought I'd ask here. Are there any free ways to get an idea of how screen readers will read a selection of text?

Got my blood drawn today and didn't white out this time! I took one of my Build a Bears and the phlebotomist was very happy to see him and talked about how they bring Squishmallows to the dentist. Extremely pleasant human interaction... always happy to remember that the world has more good than bad in it.
Seeing my friends try out Fedi is so cool! I feel actually excited to use the internet again instead of mostly depressed and anxious. I mean, that might also be the meds, but you know, cool websites certainly help.

Really nice, surprisingly heartwarming book. Should check it out if you're an #arcade enthusiast. (And it's got some cute anthropomorphized pinball games in it and I know I have followers who would like that)

Oh. Has anyone made an #Eleventy site template that approximates the swag of a #LiveJournal blog? And if not: is there any desire for this?

Nothing quite like programming to make me feel like an idiot and a genius and an idiot and a genius and an idiot and the world's first perpetual motion machine

It's about that time of year that I start collecting the only Christmas songs that I can tolerate.
- Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
- Wesley Willis - Merry Christmas
Actually, I could listen to those on loop. Which might be hell for other people
