This is the whole job: be safe, be yourself, and say it out loud where someone can hear it. Thank you for saying it here. 💜🏳️🌈
Tonight, I added support for rendering VFR sectional tiles to this fun little tool. That took way too long faffing about with locally creating tiles from the FAA source (from one of several CLI tools that aims to pre-render all of these). Now I’ll be able to better show “yeah, I was at this altitude to stay under a bravo shelf” by switching my moving map from OSM tiles to sectional tiles in an upcoming video. (In general, I prefer to show OSM tiles because I expect most viewers to be more familiar with tiles meant for ground-based nav, with aviation-specific charts for when I want to make a point). Future work for this includes capturing and rendering ADS-B traffic data. All of this to avoid showing a screenrecording of ForeFlight/whatever EFB app I end up switching to next.
Here’s an AI use at work I don’t mind. Our department is responsible managing for *a lot* of spend. 9 digits worth. Anyways, we didn’t have a Spent Intelligence platform. We were doing that shit “by hand” and hoping for the best. Stuff got done, but it would take days to pull together a report.
Spider threads are fluttering in the sun in our yard. The pilots are getting ready for takeoff. So I followed one of the threads and took a closer look at one of them. Cute Jumping spider, Carrhotus Xanthogramma. #homeentomology #spider #iNaturalist
Hola My Feral Felines and Dirty Dawgs.... Time to Mellow with "YELLOW" For the Good Sir #AlexAsks Let your Golden Moments Shine 🌟💛🫶🫠😋

The vintage shopping gods have been blessing me with a lot of incredible leather lately, but NOLA weather hasn’t gotten the memo about it being fall yet. Thinking about making a little visit to NYC (and perhaps a night in DC too?) in November…
remembering my work told us we need to bring clean clothes when we work and have to look nice and clean our shoes... I work dish and ya'll have me scheduled 4 times a week... I can not clean my clothes constantly but it's only for work and I clean them every week... I hope they aren't too strict about food stains bc I am not running my laundry twice a week... I have 3 flatmates and I'm busy...
Good morning happy Thursday ☕️
I had to wake up super early today to see my girlfriend to the hospital to get face surgery, then come home for back to back meetings, and then I'll have to go right after for a visit to the hospital. What a day.
Big crane at sundown a few months ago.
We have finished the Iliad. We made it folks. What a strange book that despite not being particularly enjoyable I do feel like I could talk about for weeks and weeks. #bookstodon
inventors of the alphabet finally agreeing on what comes after "t":
Brewing mint (Monarda punctata) that I harvested fresh from my own wild garden. Feels like a hack to align with the season.
ah oh no autumn is rainy season I'm not gonna be able to get much running done if it stays like this!
New life rule, back to an old philosophy: If I'm going to be the person that solves all of the issues, technical and billing, on an account, then I have to be ALL of the contact info. No waiting for someone to forward emails, texts, etc at 11pm at night. Or... it's not my problem, is it? Making a new account for a project was easier. Also: AWS's MFA loop sucketh. #credentials #aws_credentials #aws
What is a movie that came out before you were born that you’ve watched the most times? 📽️🎞️🖤
Lol the neighbour's new rooster escaped and found its way into our back yard. All is well and he has been recaptured unharmed. He did not like giving up his little hiding spot though.
I live in Holborn & St Pancras ward. It’s election day here. Of course I voted. Women died so I could vote. It’s something I’ve done since I was eligible. I want to see change in Holborn & St Pancras. So I voted for change. #GreenParty #HolbornAndStPancras
Update, ever since touching Godot for the first time on August 2nd I never let go of it and it looks like I will bring a full game project (bigger than jam game) to its completion for the first time ever. I'll keep it in secrecy for a little longer though, there is still a lot of shaping up to do.
Thank you all so much for 1K💜 Likes!! I'm so glad you all enjoyed my Rouge art!! 🦇💎🌟
K3's birthday: is on Tuesday Partner and me, three weeks ago: okay, let's do K3's birthday party on Thursday, because partner has to work on Tuesday and K2 has football practice on Wednesday K2's football practice: is cancelled Partner: has to go to a medical appointment with his mother on Thursday Me: 😬
Drove my car to pick up the family in town today. First time I've driven since Feb. I'm still a mess. Driving a mile has worn me out as if I ran a mile in the heat. Still need to nap every day or I start to crash again but better than before. #mecfs #longcovid
Oh I just notice that I can get my arm up better again. The pain is still there, but I can slowly move it better again! So the medicine is slowly showing its effect. Of course, I shouldn't overdo it and continue not to overwork until I've recovered more.
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter Togetherness which is all I'm after
Working on a new book, I just wrote a sentence that is too funny not to share: "The purpose of tests is to find defects, not to have them." I doubt that this sentence will make it into a published version of the book.
havent been able to sit down and draw much this week but feeling very fullfilled by all kinds of art experiences; like seeing a beautiful ballet based on Kafka's Trial, reading a book that deeply annoys me, seeing some good movies & going to a metal concert that felt like a witch ritual of sorts
Is it weird that I’m excited about a homemade chicken curry receipe?
We beat the game! It was a fun experience and I'm so glad I didn't give up ^_^ We raided @sybilthemoth.bsky.social! They doing some Ace Combat, go send some love their way ^_^
A little lull in my day job while waiting for corporate approvals. I wrote two small command line apps in Rust for my own use. First one loads all local git branches and let's me select one to check out, also has text filtering. Second one shows all git branches with a multi select. I can delete local branches easily en masse. Stale branches are marked as such. I learned that programs prefixed with `git-` can be run through git like an alias without configuring anything special. #rustlang #programming
I made bread today and impulsively decided to clean + rearrange my entire office and I am very tired but the bread turned out pretty and my office feels less cramped and dirty so it’s a win. Here’s the bread
OK, I'm pretty sure I got the Downy Woodpecker* trapped against the big porch window out. * Or Hairy Woodpecker.

On my way to an Eye Clinic for a consultation about ICL :ShotaCry: I'm getting Dead Space 2 PTSD :ablobcatcry:
Avril Lavigne's 'Complicated' came on the radio during my drive home this morning. It's going to be a good day.
A colleague had already called my desk phone at 2 minutes before 8. I had slept through my alarm and only got out of bed 5 minutes past 8. I did arrive on time at the office before 9.
Hey guys thank you to everyone who responded I have read them all and seriously appreciate your support I wasn't expecting it and i did honestly have abit of a cry- I will be responding to people now 🫂💕🫶
Got stabbed in the arm for the second time this month and feeling smug about it. Also I think my immune system just made a DHCP request.
I got a ticket to GDC since I'll be living in the area again, and I wasn't sure if I should list my employer or my own company since I'm paying my own way, so anyway I'm going to have the coolest badge.
#Bookmail! My project to own fewer things is going great!
Sleep well tonight knowing you are loved. Tomorrow is another chance to chase your dreams, wag your tail, and make the world a little brighter. 🐾💕 #GoodnightWorld #KindnessMatters
Just back from weekly food shop.
I sometimes wish i was more traditionally feminine but i'm just not and thats okay. im a t-shirt and jeans dyke and thats okay. i dress like Kim Deal and thats okay.
Installed a J2ME game to my feature phone which requires connecting to an ad server to display ads before the game will load. Given that the ad server as well as the payment server to turn it into an ad-free version are dead (and 2G has disappeared for these phones here even if the servers were up), this would make the game unplayable. Thankfully there is a numeric code you can retrieve which you are supposed to enter on the computer while purchasing, which can be used to generate a key that can be input manually without any Internet connectivity. So I just cracked an 18 year old Java phone game... And I might have also discovered the key algorithm that is used in all games with MobileRated's ad system - I don't have any other games using it to compare with.
Happy Yankee Elimination Day to all who celebrate!
*All cuddly with the night caretaker.* *Little bat bab woke up and wanted cuddles even though it's late. Lucky, she knows where to get them.* Cuddo.... *Yawns, but tries to stay awake.* *Little bat refuses to go to sleep. Wants to be like a big bat and be of the night.* *Soft snores eventually. Nini, Mocha.*
It’s October 7th and I check NHL scores to make sure games don’t go to overtime. The Sabres being good again will break me.
friend linked me to a stardew valley image generator, so i made myself an icon. kinda love it
Popular furry artists greeting each other
I have 31 items on my to-do list between now and when I board a plane on Thursday 10/15. That means I'll have to do three to four things per day. There might even be certain days where I have to do as many as five things. I don't know if anyone's ever attempted to do five entire things in a single day. It seems reckless
