So, after a decade using #paypal, they barred me today. No warning. No information as to why. Just "You're done, goodbye" for "potential risk" that they refuse to explain at all.

Probably 20something years ago I saw The 51st State - in it Emily Mortimer plays assassin Dakota Parker and wears this top.

Excuse me USPS, is there any possibility of encouraging my package to maybe come to the west coast?

I'm doing my skating/scrimmage assessment for @ssrd-skates.bsky.social today which I'm super excited (and not terrified at all) about. But this weather is queerphobic.

New shelf functional testing

I had been concerned it might take me a while to fix the bathroom light, but actually I got it done in under 30 minutes.

Today I am mostly fucking around.

Chatting with a friend about the press... "Also you live long enough with people painting targets on you and you either get really risk averse or you get to be the kinda bitch who used to rides motorcycles, drives fast and apparently starts small presses right at the start of an economic collapse."

It's always fun and exciting to play "Is this transphobia or racism? Or of course..."

The last few days have absolutely fucking sucked, but at least there's been progress.

Our cats ongoing destruction of the bedroom wall continues.

Hey Burt (and Vicki, I guess)! Sasha says... Well not much, she's snoozing. But imagine she says hi.

We have booting. It's a marginally faster processor than the one I had. Yay!

Cable management is my speciality. I need to wait until Kathryn is finished with work for the day to test it tho, because she borrows my monitor... Hopefully it'll be okay.

Cat break

We're stepping up to a machine from 2019! 5 whole years newer.

I did however forget to get a new atx backplate. But fortunately....

I've been my usual studious self about maintenance

We'll be using only the finest parts.

"Upgrade" time for the dead media server. It says it's POSting but I've got no video signal and it doesn't appear on the network.

Let's try not to die again.

Shockingly well. Outside of the horrors, the small press I'm starting continues to get closer to launch. I have met the most awesome group of friends over the past couple of years and they're super cool. And we got kitties. Oh, I've also fixed my HRT, had FFS & am feeling pretty good about being me.

Over 30 selfie thread. I'm 47...

Fuck yeah.

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

It's increasingly apparent that I am infact becoming Crystal Tipps

This book (recommended by the lovely @april.social) is absolutely destroying me.

Take the estrogen. Just take it.
