Tonight's Dr Who is "Aliens of London" and lemme tell you, this is campy as all get out, and a very very different show than what we got in later years.

I remember as a kid thinking Corinne from Soap was so so beauitful, and I loved her long long hair. I wanted hair like that.

I was probably four when I saw this? So, yeah, trans from the beginning.

I just posted this deep in a thread, but realized that many of you might enjoy seeing it on its own merits. I think I found this on one of the #trans #meme subreddits. First time I saw it, I just started crying (in a good way).

Duolingo told me "actually, this word is feminine and plural" and I was like I have some friends like that

Happy 10th birthday to the strip that became the last decade's defining meme.

Wielding power over the powerless is the mark of the bully. Using strength against the weak is cowardice. Real strength is knowing you have such power, and choosing not to use it. That is the mark of the true warrior.

Someone: If you follow me... I'll post things you might not like... Or agree with...

Their posts: I don't think women should have rights

I love the mischievous "face" on this roof featuring eyebrow dormer windows by Polish architect Sebastian Pitoń. You can see some of his absolutely charming fairytale-like cottages here: themindcircle.com/wooden-cotta

Wait. Does this layoff mean I have time to...actually use my PS5 to...play games?!?!

I was just fired. If you know someone hiring staff level software engineers, preferably in a #sre, #devops, or #PlatformEngineering space, I'd love to talk.

I'm looking for US remote positions, fwiw. And I can refer some really excellent engineers at all experience levels.

Edit: thank you for the boosts. I've been interviewing and I may have offers soon. I'll follow up on leads if I need to extend my search.

Just came across a few "kids spend too much time on their phones" meme.

Something I'm trying to break out of as I get older (I'm pushing fifty) is to not get into the habit of comparing my childhood to children today.

We spend the first third of our lives enjoying our childhood, the second is making life easier for the next generation, and I refuse to shame kids in the final third of my life for taking advantage of what we did to make thier lives easier.

Thoughts Before Bed

Today was the first day since the layoff that has felt like I had 100% of my brain back on track. Cleaned house, planned next week's meals, bought groceries, and had a nice (grocery store deli) dinner.

Tomorrow I have to get some meds and the day is fairly open. Will probably make the first of next week's meals and finish up a story outline I've been working on for a friend's project.

One of the joys of running Linux is finding out that applications you haven't even thought about since your college days are still being used and updated.

Last night I dreamed that I won an Emmy. While I was giving an acceptance speech it got out it wasn't for a TV show, but a radio show, and an unofficial one at that.

The producer and other writers spent my entire acceptance speech time fighting off the officials trying to take my Emmy back.
