We hit 90%, friends. Less than 300$ CND left to go. I really want to see those author’s notes. Palestinians very rarely get to talk about writer’s craft. It will be a gift in and of itself.
Please help share to get us over the finish line: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...
Thanks 😊 I am going to feel so smart when this is reliably working, and in the meantime it is so satisfying to learn a bunch of new stuff with a very specific goal
Success! WiFi up and running with the laptop in its proper place
Going to celebrate by taking a nap
No luck yet, taking a break for breakfast and general non-shrimp posture
I see that Elizabeth Warren is trending so here's your annual reminder that Pocahontas was an abused, kidnapped, raped child who was murdered and she deserves more respect than for you to use her name as a punchline because you hate a white woman.

Wifi drivers installed! But now it won't connect and is just asking for the password on a loop. Back to the internet for answers
If nothing else, this is teaching me how some basic command line functions work and that feels good. Also yes it does still feel like casting a magic tech spell, highly recommend
Okay, it's morning and I no longer feel like my head is splitting open. Updates finished downloading overnight, I installed and have moved the laptop next to my router so I no longer have to tether it
So close!
Just past halfway done with the updates. Wifi driver is going to have to wait till the morning, and I am once again reminded that starting large computer projects at night is not the best idea
Can only imagine how much faster this would be if I didn't have to tether from my phone to download these updates
Installation complete, but now I get the fun and excitement of figuring out updates and how to get my wifi driver installed
This is simultaneously a low-risk project (laptop is from 2012) and high-stress (I use it to put on videos when I go to bed to minimize nightmares)
The world sucks, so I decided to install Linux on my old MacBook. No way this could go poorly (on my third try)
Even for those of us who don't like leaving the house much, I don't think we acknowledge enough how horrible it was. It took us longer to hit that point, but pretending we didn't is a shitty coping mechanism and unfair to everyone.
Tim Curry is iconic in so many ways on film, and also a great audiobook narrator! His Moggat voice for Garth Nix's Sabriel is perfection. Happy Birthday to everyone's favorite Grand Wizard
The one that works the most often is to share my list with a very close friend and have them pick for me. Sorry you're in that rut now, it sucks so bad
I found a new rabbithole to hyperfocus on (I did not see myself becoming a Linux user but whatever works) and realizing I could just go to yet another career maybe possibly
I had to move the fox to a secure display already 😅
Those colors are lovely!
Got The Subtle Art of Folding Space by John Chu from the library so that's next up and I'm rereading Sabriel by Garth Nix in audio. Will probably continue A Sign of Affection by Suu Morishita as a manga break
Least I could do!
A follow up to the Ignyte award-winning anthology is coming and if we want more of this type of work, we need to make sure that the people putting their time, effort, and expertise into it have the funds to survive in the capitalist hellscape
Morning dose of joy was checking out all the amazing clay creatures @saraofwhimsy.bsky.social has up on her shop right now. They're so cute and I want to bring all of them home but also Salvador would eat them. My fave is the alchemy crow bc cute and grumpy

That's so incredibly accurate and makes me want to do a re-watch
So glad they were able to turn that around for you! And that you got your meds. We can all use less stress from every corner we can get
Final season of All American premiers July 13!
I cannot overstate how transformative working on All American was for me, and I know for so many others. I'll hold this show and this crew close in my heart always

JFC. Do not let AI anywhere near your school library! You do not need AI to set up a school library. Just fucking hire a librarian. We won't sell off your child's private data to the highest bidder.
Imo it's a lot easier to rec movies/tv/music to pple than it is books. We're with books so much longer & more intensely, how we interpret and visualize the words changes fundamental aspects of the experience. We also have more shared language in other media to describe what we want more of
