thinking about that girl who cried because she couldn't hug every cat... i feel that hard

For most of the thirty plus years I've lived on our north coast hillside we have enjoyed daily spectacular sunsets. I tooted them often when I first discovered Mastodon.
Summer and I had a regular date at the end of every day to oooh and awww at those sunsets together.
It appears the sunsets have deserted us. Fog banks have moved in. Today Summer asked me what happened? Did we do something wrong?
I told her that it isn't our fault. I'm sure that someone somewhere is basking in the glow of our sunset.
We can be happy for them and thankful to have each other and so many sunset memories.
The fog can be calm and quiet. Peaceful.
Tonight we give you a sunset from two years ago because tonight's fog didn't photograph well. I guess you have to feel it in person.
If our sunsets came your way, enjoy.

I have a few pieces of writing from a few essay prompts for applications (scholarships, research program, internship). I have shared this one in a few other places but I think I feel safest here to simply be Indigenous and share things. I have not shared it with my mom (I'm nervous) but I would love to work with her to help her write her story one day.

I reviewed the most cursed 3D printer I’ve ever seen. It prints upside down. It fits in a backpack. And somehow… it works really well. https://youtu.be/lOFh70ooCRs

In other news: I’m in the process of putting my #Twitch retro streaming setup back together. Still needs some cleaning up but the hardware is already up and running. Expect at least a test stream next week. I took a long break for mental health reasons so I’m a bit nervous about it. 🫣
