Note to self: Don't do #Nix when unable to sleep in the middle of the night.

Note to self: Don't forget to buy the toppings for the pizza next time. Otherwise #ADHDtax.

On another note I've just ordered food and I'll have food not just for today but for tomorrow and the day after as well (minimum order quantity). And it cost 36 Euro...

I really hate that these days when you just mindlessly strg+c and strg+v into somewhere else it'll link the contentent (e.g. Pictures) instead of copying them.

Just opened an old E-Mail that I hazily wrote using the #posteo webmailer and some of the pictures are no longer available because they linked to mastodon posts (unintentionally).

/me Note to self: Always screenshot stuff. Forget that "strg+c" and "right-click => copy-image" even exist.

Need to vent about the NHS displaying institutional ableism yet again, but no remaining spoons today  

Writing this post in the hopes it reminds us to do so when we next do have spoons.

note to self run "nohup nixos-rebuild switch" instead of just "nixos-rebuild switch". When it restarts the GUI it'll kill itself and leave you with a half-started system :P

And running it a 2nd time failed because of some dbus connectivity issue...

Workaround "systemctl stop user.slice" (or reboot) and then rerun it (both from tty1)

Note to self: Never trust your coworkers, not even the smart ones that usually know what they're doing. ALWAYS verify.

"reverse DNS is automatically created" - my ass. Apparently it isn't for us. Most likely we're missing permissions for it to work...

Notes to our future selves when they wake up

• You have a lot of positive qualities that you do not give yourselves credit for
• Your worth is not defined by how productive you are in the eyes of others
• Your struggles are real, and you're doing the best you can to deal with them
• Others genuinely like you, even if you don't understand why
• Māui catten snuggled up behind your back and fell asleep

(Not enough mental energy / spoons for a full write-up, but we're doing a thoughtdump to get this out of our mind, and possibly return to it another time.)

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a queer, neurospicy, and possibly trans+ allegory.

• Christmas is a confusing neurotypical, cis het holiday.
• Hallowe'en is a quirk, neurospicy, queer and trans+ holiday.
• Jack comes across like neurospicy (likely AuDHD) theatre kid, who's burnt out and maybe hasn't yet realised they're trans+.
  • Jack recharges by being alone (so likely not solely ADHD).
  • Jack feels out of place, even among other neurodivergent peers (possibly other queer and/or ADHD theatre folk).
  • Jack can't explain what they're feeling (alexithymia).
  • Jack's Lament highlights their depression, malaise, and struggles (including arguably around gender).
• Jack latches on to the idea of Christmas and wants to be like that for themselves.
  • Jack thinks this will make them happy (What's This? song).
  • Jack doesn't understand it, but tries to do it regardless (Jack's Obsession song).
  • It's basically Jack trying to be something they're not (cis het neurotypical).
• Sally represents Jack's trans+ fem self.
  • Jack ignores Sally, despite the many signs she keeps giving him, and doesn't understand her fears over the venture.
  • Sally's not sure that Jack will ever listen to her (Sally's Song).
• Jack eventually crashes (literally and figuratively), realising how foolish and damaging their actions were.
  • Trying to be someone else made them realise how important it was to be themselves, and how much fun that can be if they embrace it (Poor Jack).
• Jack's true happiness comes when they realise that Sally had been right all along and that they should have listened to her.
  • By accepting Sally, Jack becomes complete (Finale / Reprise).
  • It reminds us of how Neo's love for Trinity in The Matrix is an allegory for Neo accepting that they're trans (self-acceptance; self-love).

These are very raw thoughts, but needed to get them out before our mind imploded under the weight 😅

Note to selves

Update driving licence and passport when possible.

The photo on those (pre-GAHT and hair removal) increasingly doesn't look like us any more 😅
