Total Dork. Also Ancient- half a century old, woooo hoo! Trans partner.
Probably part troll, not the internet kind.

This shit is real. The comments section is just killing me, so many women, affected by this and losing their jobs. :( This is not ok. It's ok to be scared. There is no security net for a lot of us.

After missing most of the work week.... it's hormonal. Maybe hormonal acerbated by stress, allergies. and burnout. Plus Perimenopause... It's the shittiest thing. Cant plan around something irregular... serious fatigue, not just whiney-assed tired, movement fatigue, fuzzy bained uselessness. Not cool, man! :(

OK, whoever knows Pedro Pascal’s social media handles needs to put these pictures in front of him, and tell Daddy Pascal that the next time he’s wants to appear in shorts, he should buy himself that entire blue outfit.

Intro 4/10
After my Minecraft Torch paper circuit project, I wanted to invent a circuit that is playful, yet easy to make. The result was this RGB Cube that is controlled by a touch-sensitive paper surface. If you use velostat, a pressure-sensitive variable resistor, you can easily mix any color by varying the amount of pressure. More: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/rgb-touchcube

Touch-Sensitive Paper Light for Kids β€” Volt, Paper, Scissors!

Create this touch-sensitive paper circuit by using my free printable template and simple electronics. This is a simple DIY Project for STEM and STEAM education to explore paper circuits together with kids. All you need is an RGB LED, conductive tape, and a button cell!

Hi MastodonπŸ‘‹(1/10)
I'm starting a series of 10 posts to introduce my work to everyone here. Please #retoot πŸ€—
My first paper circuit project was this anglerfish. I modeled it in Blender, printed templates using Pepakura, and used conductive tape for "wiring". It lights up with an RGB LED and a button cell. This anglerfish still hangs in my room, giving me nightmares πŸ˜…. Lots of fun, but also lots of work.

A year ago, I saw someone open a book lamp in a bar. It was a pretty expensive product. Since I combine electronics and paper crafting, I had to DIY it and develop an easy-to-use circuit template and instructions for it. This educational project is perfect for libraries. Please #retoot :-)
Template and instructions are available on my website: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/diybooklamp.
Feel free to ask any questions.

Easy DIY Book Lamp for Kids (11+) and adults β€” Volt, Paper, Scissors!

I invented this DIY book lamp to introduce children to electronics. I use it in STEM education, but it turns out to be a fun project for adults too.

Well, crying came from this worldly fear of not being able to earn a living (I can't but lets not give up hope) if working a full 8 hours (rather than the usual 4) plus some stress equals full on fatigue and feeling sick, for several days, calling in sick to work (thank god for the library's sick hotline and bevy of on-calls). How can I step up and contribute more, working more hours, while my partner is much older than me and also in pain, and neither of us have "retirement" or a way to not just grind ourselves into.... Also our house is high maintenance with critters, and the age and decrepitude of it (poverty, lack of help)---- I fear I will become a detriment to our relationship. It's complicated. Being out of commission puts stress in the household.
Anyway, it was brief, sort of a thought snowballing while doing dishes this morning. It' passed. I'm not depressed.
Probably not hormonal, and if it is, it just amplifies reality. Makes we wish for a super simple life, UBI, and a way of existing, where my own cruddiness doesn't affect anyone else.

Feeling weirdly sick, my usual not-sick sick, sort of a non-fever fever, incredible fatigue, and body pain :
"If you are crying about it, then it's hormonal..."
