I just heard that perhaps this is gay rage month and I hadn’t even considered the other potential 6 months.

I have a collection of mouse balls. This is my collection of mouse balls. I hope you appreciate them.

I heard a youtube thing the other day about social media that said that people who use it to preen and show how awesome their life is, have FOMO and experience recursive anxiety and can induce the same.

Others who use it to be real, and share their reality, can have a positive experience.

I just want to be real. I don’t have time any more for bullshit.

One of my favorite things in the world to.do is walking around at night. The stars, the wind, the sounds, the knowing that I am not being spied and judged by people at a distance.

I just learned that this is not a feeling that everyone gets to enjoy. After some discussion, we distinguished that what I was talking about was the province of being white, male, and strong. That for many people who don’t tick off all those boxes the source of fear was the police, and white males who are strong.

I feel a profound sadness about this. As I considered writing this, I heard some potential objectors saying things like “well I carry mace or a gun or I have a big dog” and that’s great, so you get to do this wonderful thing but let’s acknowledge the fear you face that leads you to make sure you have those things.

Today was my last day in the gas box. It was the best send off I could expect from such a pivotal time in my life. Much IT-related chaos and construction. I had a blast coordinating what was happening while not much could happen with selling gasoline.

On Monday, I start a new position as a Lab Technician at a local hard drive manufacturer. I am very excited to get back into the IT game.
