Ah yes, time for the biannual gaslighting of the cat, in which I slowly shift meals by 15 minutes at a time for two weeks in a ritual that is both mystifying and infuriating for him.

i can still teach someone how to write html and css and use sftp to upload a website in an afternoon (and honestly css makes this learning process MORE accessible, not less!). but that process is pretty divorced from the main thing people want to use the web for today (make money and run scams)

Valve: “We need a credit card on file to prove you’re 18”

Transphobia cooks your brain. You spend years screaming "everyone fits neatly into two sexes!" and then reality hands you Khelif or Caster Semenya and you can't adjust. You can't say "this is more complicated than I thought." You just call her a man, because the framework demands it. Fundamentalism.

I used to work in boatyards, cleaning boats, and on our lunch we'd just get in a two-man canoe and bugger off up the dyke at speed, and honestly, why can't I just have that job again

Buried. Absolutely buried. Hoping bike will fix it.
