the only reason that tech was ever remotely left-coded was that in the early 2010s they consciously aligned themselves with what appeared to be the dominant political party. that meant large donations to Dems and nominal gestures toward diversity. as soon as the winds shifted they swung right.

I'm a Granny that needs a Nanny in their life to keep me moving.
Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade
“Nanny's philosophy of life was to do what seemed like a good idea at the time, and do it as hard as possible. It had never let her down.”
I could and did request backstage masking. Except in Arizona where it was against state law, and I reluctantly cancelled the reading.
It worked for me!!! Until the dopamine wore off and I needed to find a new kind of tracker. I cycle through so many types of tracking a year 😔😭
Desperately trying to gamify my chores to get ahead of my adhd AND my depression
Now that you've mentioned it I want to go back to bullet journaling
Hard relate 😂
Why isn't there an app for adhd folks to share their to do lists and check them off, body double, send water reminders and whatnot ?
Like a giant slack for confused neurodivergent noises.
Prepare for mischief? 😄
But seriously, if you have specific questions lmk
Hope you had a great Caturday velcro ~ from someone who definitely didn't drink the coffee today.

I'm sad a lot lately but then I see Geelu's big dumb face and I forget I'm sad for a bit.

This quote makes me cackle out loud every time, as I did when I read it here just now
Discworld QOTD, from Snuff
“Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”
Both "Small Gods" and "Feet of Clay" completely blind-sided me with ideas that became fundamental pivoting points for my views of the word, religion, and the idea of justice and fairness. They hold special places in my soul.

My friend asked me to "elaborate" and my adhd brain did:
Write a book
Not that book
Take photos
Ask for donations
