Watched the slice-of-life dramedy about cancer 50/50 and it's now one of my top films. I picked it because it's leaving Kanopy.com in a couple of days and the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes were high enough to risk it, and it sure delivered. It was real edutainment based on the scriptwriter's own experience with cancer at a young age, apparently. I recommend it to everyone!

On my honeymoon :3 (missing our cat so much we are god's strongest soldiers)
spent the weekend at a wedding a couple of hours away. sent the two herding dogs to my agility coach and the chi mix to a friend's house for boarding. chi mix and aussie did great! the border collie had a rough time. apparently barked more or less the whole weekend and couldn't settle. i think she was just bored and overwhelmed/overstimulated, sigh.
we've had a few thunderstorms, and the xanax the vet gave me doesn't seem to be helping the border collie's severe reaction (barking, leaping, basically inconsolable making both humans lose sleep for a couple of nights). i'm wondering if i could up her dose. also picked up a thundershirt, but haven't had a chance to test it out during a real thunderstorm yet.
we've got a two-day mock agility trial this weekend, and i'm hoping to get all three dogs in the ring at some point or another.
RAGBRAI is steadily approaching, but due to lack of sleep and being out of town, i didn't get a chance to ride at all last week or this past weekend. fingers crossed i can get a decent ride in after work tonight.

Not good. It's not like anything bad happened (actually there were only good things) but I did some highly questionable stuff and it's a big problem for me. If someone figures out what I did, it's going to be a disaster. Also my recent attacks caused my older relatives to seek help from psychics and similar people (they believe in such stuff) which is not great because the last time they did it I had very heavy nosebleeds. Well I'm in danger as always. And my mental health isn't getting much better. My mind is still functioning on a very basic level because everything else is critically damaged. I guess if I was a regular modern person, I'd be dead or crazy already. But I'm stronger and it does have its disadvantages. At least I can suppress my pain a little bit with YouTube and my new sim racing setup (direct drives are awesome btw).
EDIT: forgot to mention that some serious social issues started to pop up as well
I hope things get well for you 💝
Thank you, mister/miss
Watched I Saw the TV Glow. Fucked me up. A little bit jealous because all my friends left the theater with the determination to start HRT so they don't end up like the main character. Unfortunately I feel like whatever is wrong with me is much too innate and deep seated to be cured with hormones.
My friend who lashed out and dropped me for offering to pay for his medication started paying for it himself and now he's super happy all the time. I've never felt more useless. I spent several years attempting to support him through his worst, and he basically told me that if I kept giving him false hope, he'd kill himself. Then as soon as I stopped, he did a 180 and feels great 24/7.
I can't help myself and I can't help other people, what am I doing here?
Do you think, maybe, that even if HRT wouldn't touch the deepest stuff, that it would ease some matters and give you a bit more space?
It hurts to hear your friend is abusive toward you. I hope you can find ways to be as supportive toward yourself as you have been toward others - I get that the idea isn't always so comfortable if there's a lot of heavy history, but tending to yourself is the best way to tend to everything around you.
I applied to one job opening and already want to give up
My biggest enemy is me 🥲
Keep at it! Remember job applications and interviews are just an elaborate game for people to find out if you'd be a match. Rejection doesn't mean you're not capable.
Thank you! Appreciate the message, sometimes I need to remember this
Unusually cold. Yesterday it was quite warm in the morning but then it got cloudy and cooler. Thought of going with a shirt only at work and I could not made a worse choice.
Other than that I think it's fine. I will have to look for a new job soon. 🥲

Peak summer here, hottest monday at 47C, its just lovely! Other than that things are looking up, hopefully i'll get stuff done.
By any chance are you living in India?
yup. i'm used to summers but its getting worse every year.
Pretty great
Finally upgraded my resin printer to having a flex bed and my only regret is not doing it sooner
I also finished upgrading my printing enclosures to using 8in ducting for ventilation. This combined with the 8in fan I'm using puts the ventilation at cycling the entire air contents of my room every 2 minutes at the highest setting or once every 4 minutes at the fan setting I use.
To do the upgrade required me to print a 8in duct splitter because buying one is prohibitively expensive.
What the adapter looks like (it's a gif)
I started the migration of my NAS to a new system but that's going to finish (hopefully) by Friday. The data has been duplicated I just have to wait a bit as a piece of software I need to install on one of the VMs has its key locked until Friday (can't be activated on a new system) and that piece of software is currently installed on the system that will become my new NAS.
Edit: rendered the clip at a lower res
Edit2: Hopefully the NAS move will be done by next Friday. Schedule got complicated again. Oh well it'll still work for now.
3 days off, going to go see AC/DC Wednesday... so thats pretty good
