Me: *looks at some Spider-man fanart*
My brain, delirious from trying (and failing) to speak German all day:

SPIDER-

MENSCH

...?

I'm gonna fucking SCREAM. I bought a new phone, which was an ordeal in itself, seeing as I am a goddamn perfectionist when it comes to expensive purchases. I thought I'm done with the unpleasant, but nope! Phone has no haptic feedback. WTF??? Is it broken, or does someone actually make phones without it? Either way, I now get to enjoy the process of writing to Responsible Persons and sorting this crap out.

ughhhhh, the Asshole 1% is going strong at Stack Exchange again. SE added "Prefer gender-neutral language when uncertain" to their Code of Conduct, and Some People are having an absolute MELTDOWN over it. The Q&A here, and the things they need to clarify make my eyes bleed: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/334900/official-faq-on-gender-pronouns-and-code-of-conduct-changes?cb=1

I gripe a lot about fandom's social structures being vulnerable to drama, but we've got NOTHING on dev spaces.

I'm reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes for the first time, and I'm:
A. so relieved by Holmes not being an asshole!
B. intrigued by the way the stories have been adapted, at least lately
C. a bit bummed that said adaptations scared me off of reading Doyle's Holmes for so long.

Oh ewwwwwwwwwwww who let un-warned explicit porn on our Federated timeline???? That's vile. @alis should I have reported that? IDK what the rules are when it's form another instance...

oh my god, WHAT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxHtZJphmGA

(spotify's rec, btw. Uh... thanks?)

gave up 3 hours of sleep for a hockey rpf
I'm not a hockey fan
I don't like rpf

solid lifechoices
(worth it probably. it was v good.)

On the orientation day for my new job I got photographed for the intranet. Against all odds, I don't look like a dint - I look great!

(You must understand: this NEVER happens. I am not photogenic. I had photos taken by professional photographers where I look like a turd.)

This rare moment is WASTED on an intranet photo.😄 I might need to stay at this company as long as possible, this won't happen again. 🤣

mark the date, today I realized that if:
1. Jupiter's moons are named after his lovers
2. Ganymede is Jupiter's moon
3. The moons were named in early 17th century
then SPACE IS GAY, SPACE HAS BEEN GAY SINCE THE 1600s
HOLY HECK *cackles with glee*

One thing I wish Automattic would fix on Tumblr is the blog RSS feeds. The damn things don't update properly - long time nothing, then I get a batch of posts from the last few days. At first I thought it's just the people, coming once in a while and reblogging a bunch of posts in a row, but I checked and nope, it's the feed lagging behind. What kind of aggressive caching do you have there, Tumblr???

My favorite names:
(watch me try and fail to translate jokes)

winner:
Brno-Šalingrad
--- "šalina" is a local word for tram; obvious pun on "Stalingrad" is obvious

typical Czech self-hate humor:
4. Vídeň-Sever
---- means "Vienna-North"
6. Praha-venkov
---- "Prague-suburbs", roughly

ahahaha I just discovered that the city officials (who apparently don't have any access to English-speaking news or something) made a poll last year for the name of the new main train station.

The result is a pun based on a local slang word. I LOVE IT. Pleeeease make them use it, that would be so awesome!

Is it ADHD? Is it anxiety? I meAN, NOT THAT IT HELPS #anxiety #adhd

Just cracked myself up reading a note I made about a #productivity article:

"the idea that you can put off something impulsive for 2.5 hours is HILARIOUS."

The perils of finding advice on the internet: most articles are "this worked for me", and "me" is usually someone whose brain ISN'T a bouncy ball in a small room.

hey @alpine_thistle do I remember it wrong, or did you have problems with bitter cucumbers some time ago? I'm just watching a Charles Dowding vid where he says it happens when the fruit is from a pollinated female flower: https://youtu.be/N586k4Jv1Xg?t=282

oh shit, I think I have a job????????

(this is fucking bizarre... this is too easy, there's gotta be something wrong somewhere. aaaahhhhhhhh)

WAS SOMEBODY GOING TO TELL ME THAT CHRISTIAN BALE LOOKS OLD ENOUGH NOW TO PLAY DICK CHENEY OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND OUT FROM THE SEXY ACCENT EXPERT GUY ON WIRED

I found a japanese emoticon list. This is too much power
