I have fucking headlice. I’m hoping I caught it early enough. Had one crawling on me last night. I didn’t know what it was. But my head was scratchy today so I got suspicious. Used a fine comb on my hair and the pictured one fell out. #homelesslife

A closeup shot of the head louse Reklaw found crawling on his head today. It’s on a piece of white printer paper.

Reklaw’s bunk bed. Sunlight pours in through a window in the back of the shot. The steel frame is painted black. It sits on a white tile floor. The top bunk (Reklaw’s) is tightly made. The bottom bunk is looser, with the top blanket reaching down to the floor. All of the bedding is white. A white towel and yellowish washcloth hang from the foot of the top bunk. The towel is in contact with the bottom bunk as well.

Last year I had a recurring problem with database corruption with MongoDB. It happened today for the first time since I've been unhoused again. I think the hard drive on my laptop is just slowly starting to die. #homelesslife #twitch #mongodb

$A screenshot from Reklaw's console. It has white text on a black background with a fixed-width font. It's a composite of two screenshots. In the break between text there's Reklaw's "Sleepybot" robot mascot with a surprised look on its face, drawn in a shade of purple matching a small part of the text that's colorized. Some of the file paths in the image are crossed out crudely with the same color. The console text reads: [MongoDBManager ] Constructor complete.

Oops, I uploaded an old photo instead of the weather screenshot. I was rushing to finish before bed checkin. Here’s what I meant to post as the second photo:

A snapshot from Reklaw’s weather app. It reads:

Current temperature: 41 degrees
High/low: 41/22 degrees
Extreme heat warning. These conditions are expected to last until 11PM Tuesday, June 16.
Sunny conditions will continue for the rest of the day. Wind gusts are up to 12 km/hr.

The AC broke down at the library today. I noticed it getting hot the last couple days but figured it was just the extreme heat outside/poor insulation or something. #homelesslife

A portait shot of Reklaw. He’s wearing glasses with black, somewhat-square shaped frames. He has a Van Dyke goatee with some wisps of gray. His ponytail is thrown forward over his shoulder; he has a mix of dark and light brown hair.

The shaft of an umbrella rests on his shoulder with its blue material filling the background. The people behind him are casting a shadow on the material.

He’s wearing a tan bucket hat with a yellow and brown patch, and a dark blue polo shirt.

Had some difficulty this morning with my bank account; spent hours trying to log into it to resolve. Wasted so much time with something that should be quick and easy. Meeting with shelter staff went well. More familiar faces. #homelesslife

A closeup of Reklaw’s metal cafeteria tray from breakfast this morning, sitting on a white table. Items on the tray: a croissant with ham and cheese inside and an apple-filled pastry.

A shot of Reklaw's lunch today: a clear hard-plastic package of saltine crackers (about 10 of them) with chicken salad, and a clear soft-plastic package of 6 jalapeño-cheese bagels to snack on later. The items sit on Reklaw's jacket in the passenger seat of his car; the car door is barely visible in the corner.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Jun 8

Good day today. Did a lot of research on the wage theft calculator. Might continue working on that tomorrow or pivot back to revising my Twitch content curation system. Shelter has been decent. It makes a huge difference when I can escape to the library for the day. #homelesslife

A closeup of Reklaw’s metal cafeteria tray from dinner last night. He ate most of it and almost forgot to take a picture! Items left on the tray: a chicken drumstick from KFC, a handful of mixed salad.

Reklaw’s metal cafeteria tray from breakfast this morning, sitting on a white table with hot sauce and his steel water bottle at the top of the frame. Items on the tray: a large portion of scrambled eggs, two sausage patties, an opened container of apple sauce, two mini croissants, a banana, and a fork.

A closeup of a breakfast sandwich Reklaw concocted from this morning's croissants, eggs, sausage, and hot sauce. It sits in a corner slot of the metal tray with the hot sauce and white table visible in the top of the frame.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Jun 7

I’ve been enjoying going on morning walks again in the past few days. It’s hard for me to stay in the shelter between breakfast and when I leave for the library: I get overstimulated quickly from the crowd, and there’s a persistent housefly problem. I hate having insects crawl on me. #homelesslife

Reklaw’s metal cafeteria tray from breakfast, sitting on a white table with hot sauce and his steel water bottle at the top of the frame. Items on the tray: two biscuits covered in a large portion of white gravy with bits of sausage, a handful of green and purple grapes, and a chocolate muffin.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Jun 7

I keep running into friends at the shelter. Lots of them got into slightly nicer housing which is why it’s taken a couple days for me to see them. I’m happy for them; might try to apply for the nicer housing myself soon. Get on the waiting list at least. #homelesslife

Reklaw’s metal cafeteria tray from dinner fills the entire frame. Items on the tray: a slightly used fork (I almost forgot to take the picture before eating), a portion of beefy noodle stir fry, 2 small plums, some mixed salad, a handful of purple tortilla chips, and four miniature frosted donuts.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Jun 5

Started out very optimistic today. Got great sleep last night. Then ran into a common problem at the library: loud men. They just want to occupy any space, make as much noise as they want. The library has reduced seating available compared to last year. The staff seems indifferent. #homelesslife

Reklaw's dinner tray from last night: a metal cafeteria tray with meaty chili, mixed salad, garlic bread, and some blueberries. A metal fork is stuck into the chili.

Reklaws's breakfast tray from this morning: a bowl of cereal (it's an amalgamation of many different cereals like Chex, Cheerios, and corn flakes), a dollop of plain yogurt, and a chocolate swirl pastry.

I got into a bed last night, which was nice. I slept much better. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep that spot. #homelesslife Went and showered at the gym today; very grateful for my sister who pays for that. Also thank you so much to the person who sent money today!

The top level of a bunk bed fills the majority of the picture. The bed has a black steel frame cradling a dark mattress. The mattress is covered in a plastic wrap for sanitation. A black trash bag (full of bedding) can be seen in the bottom right corner. The top of another bed is visible in the background. Further in the background is a corner of the room where two off-white walls meet. One of the walls has two windows where afternoon light spills through.

A metal cafeteria tray with several food items, with a white table underneath. There’s a large portion of oatmeal in the main reservoir - it has bits of cherry mixed in. A fruit-filled pastry rests in the top center and there’s yogurt in the top right.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Jun 3

Very tired today. I never slept in the overflow section all of last year, but last night there were no beds available for me. I actually enjoyed it in some ways. The staff was a little more observant of noises.

A thin futon rests on a white tile floor, pushed up against a wall. It has a pillow with vibrant pink, yellow, and green pillowcase, and a white sheet pulled back to reveal a pink fitted sheet. Reklaw’s off-white baseball cap is next to pillow and his black shoes are tucked behind the pillow, against the wall.

A metal tray of breakfast food rests on a white table, with a metal water bottle and small bottle of habanero-based hot sauce beside it. The tray has scrambled eggs, 2 sausage patties, some pink-colored yogurt, and a chocolate pastry.

I had a lot of fear in getting out of that place. My life has been so chaotic in the last few years, and I missed the creature comforts of living in a house so much. But when I got back to the shelter… #homelesslife

Reklaw’s favorite spot to sit outside at the shelter. It’s a concrete curb at the edge of a parking lot that slopes downward. It seems like a bird may have pooped right where he usually likes to sit.

A duck walking along the street at the shelter. Its green head and brown body contrasts greatly with the gray sidewalk.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Jan 1

There was a fight involving a weapon at the smoking section last night. In response, the man in charge of the shelter shut that area down permanently, and also the parking lot adjacent to it. It’s where I parked my car all last year. #homelesslife

A defaced window in a restroom. The window is painted over white and has a metal mesh within it. The surrounding paint is also white. A metal bar can be seen along the bottom of the frame. There’s blue marker text reading “Fuck off Satan” and a hole scratched in the window is circled with the same marker.

A year ago I went to sleep for the last time in a room by myself. Tonight I’ll be sleeping in the presence of about 30 other strangers, as I have for all of 2025. None of us should have to live like this. Next year I’m determined to get out of here. Then, revenge. #homelesslife

A view from Reklaw’s top bunk bed. A black metal bed frame and mattress covered with sheets is in the foreground. The background shows the bottom bunk of another bed, with mattress stripped down to a plastic covering. A couple people are standing behind the bed, with only their legs showing.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Dec 21

The rain has been nice lately; I’ve had a little bit of privacy sitting in my car since the streets are mostly empty. I’ve been struggling though. (1/4) #homelesslife

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Dec 7

Bunkmate is coughing up a storm. Overheard him say he had bronchitis while we were standing in line for bed. I usually just sleep in a surgical mask but this seems like an N-95 kinda night. He’s not loud or fidgeting, so not too bad overall tbh. #homelesslife

A closeup of Reklaw’s face. He’s lying in bed, head against pillow. He’s a white man with long messy brown hair and blue eyes. He has black-rimmed glasses, a green t-shirt, and an N-95 respirator on his face. He’s holding up two fingers in the v-shaped “peace” sign. A white brick wall is barely visible behind him.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Nov 26

I was really angry last night. Someone stole the pillow off my bed when I left to put my toothbrush back in my car. First time that’s happened in almost a year here. #homelesslife #mutualaid

Reklaw’s new adjustable-height telescoping camping stool, black in color with a square seat. It’s nudged against the steel wall of an awning and painted white. Reklaw’s stainless steel water jug rests on the asphalt in front of it. There is a small stick on the ground and a wet spot trailing offscreen.

Reklaw’s breakfast this morning: a bag containing a peanut butter sandwich, a bag of pretzels branded for Halloween, and a dessert cake.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Nov 26

The shelter is letting us rest in the dorms today since the main hall is serving meals. It’s mostly empty. I’m loving the peace and quiet. It was foggy and serene outside for my morning walk. It’s a nice reprieve. I’ve been overstimulated for what feels like an eternity.

One of the rooms in the men’s dormitories at Reklaw’s shelter. There are 3 rows of 4 bunk beds, with a row of 2 beds in the back of the room. White tile flooring. The beds are empty of people and are made with assorted bedding.

A closeup of Reklaw’s power bank charging in a wall socket. A pink charging cable extends off-screen for his phone. A text caption reads: Shelter is letting us hang out in the dorms today. I’m taking advantage of the extra time to charge my devices. I usually have to do it at night.

I’m working to create a roguelike/MMORPG hybrid where players succeed through helping eachother. It’ll be played through Twitch chat! (1/4 🧵) #roguelike #mmorpg #Twitch #cooperative #socialist #anarchist

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Nov 22

I’m thinking a lot today about blogs, and how a return to personal websites would benefit all of us. I think we’d need to make some new tools (or reinvigorate some old ones, like RSS). #microblogging #socialism #decentralized (1/2; backup transcript for video in further replies)

Mario Power Tennis: This game consumed my life for a couple years; had a roommate in college who I’d play against for hours on end, multiple times a week. Other friends would stop by and we’d 2v2. If you disable special moves the game is SUPER well-balanced.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the coworking space I was thrown out of recently. Today I saw a post about disseminating a “how to work with me” document to other people in a professional setting. I think it would have been helpful to me. (1/7) #coworking #neurodivergent #etiquette

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Nov 10

Had a good chat with a friend last night. Helped me reframe a lot of the thoughts that’ve been getting me down. Things are rough but I’m making little bits of progress every day. Still have hope. Hoping the county’s employment services are helpful this week.

Reklaw’s gym selfie from today. He’s smiling and making the “v” sign with his fingers. Caption: “Gym felt good. Ready to tackle the week”

I’m trying to continue the daily habit of posting about my life (and my work when possible). I’ve been using Snapchat because I’ve used it in the past and the interface is simple. I’ll try to mirror the videos here for at least the near future. (1/3) #homelesslife

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Nov 4

I got banned from Threads. No reason given for why. I’d like to think I’m a pretty tame person: I don’t advocate for violence, or do anything else that’s against TOS. Given all the other bad news I’ve had recently this is really frustrating. #threads #meta (1/7)

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Oct 31

Glizzies for lunch today. I got seconds. Started walking in the mornings again, and posting a thought of the day on Snapchat. Will repost here when I refine it a bit. Happy Halloween! (1/2) #homelesslife

Reklaw’s Halloween lunch tray. Clockwise starting from the nearest item to the camera (6 o’clock): a hot dog in a bun covered in a salsa so mild it passes for ketchup; a splash of hot sauce from Reklaw’s own reserve; a couple sugar cookies; a handful of mixed salad greens with creamy dressing; a handful of a mix of tortilla chips, pretzels, and popcorn; banana.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Oct 28

It was hard to move out of the space. It took the longest to disassemble my car’s contents and rearrange them to fit my computer, monitor, etc. If they won’t let me come back I really need to rent storage space; I want to avoid further damage to my PC from sitting in the car. #homelesslife

Reklaw’s glass-top desk at the coworking space, partially disassembled. A monitor sits on a shoebox wrapped in an old sweater. On the desk rests a power strip, pink headset, and various other peripherals. A PC tower and microphone are on the floor. A full backpack on a chair is pulled out from the desk.

A closeup of a couple stickers on the monitor stand: one says “Free Gaza. Free Palestine” with a clenched fist painted in red, green, and black. The other is a hand making the v-shape “peace sign” in the same colors.

The workspace reverted to its default: the glass-top desk is cleared off. It has a black metal frame with a lattice structure under the glass. An office chair with wheels is pushed into the desk. They both rest on a concrete floor. The wall is painted white. A large lightbulb hangs off a wall fixture. A high window is barely visible in the corner.

I re-evaluated how and where I ack/nack messages and implemented some self-healing for StreamerBot's connection to the RabbitMQ server. This was the last of the ack-based errors.

A screenshot from Reklaw's console showing output from Streamer.bot. The tail end of a stack trace is visible, then some debug statments from the RabbitMQ management module: channels and connections were closed, then restored.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Oct 23

I was mishandling "acks" which caused this infinite looping yesterday. I tried banning my bot temporarily to avoid hitting rate limits for the site. I unbanned it a little early: StreamerBot had hundreds of messages in its queue. I've been meaning to write a rate-limiter for the bot... soon!

A screenshot from Reklaw's Twitch channel showing his bot spamming a message repeatedly: "@ReklawCodes Error in RabbitMQManager.consume_quest_completion()! QuestParticipation.mark_complete() failed for MissingNo". The bot is banned at timestamp 17:17 then unbanned 3 minutes later, only to resume the spam.

Reklaw@reklawcodes· Oct 23

I've been wrangling with @rabbitmq.com all morning/afternoon: I think I finally got the new setup for quests figured out. I'll share some screenshots in the replies. Gonna try to send a stream soon to test it out: stop by to see if the server melts down! #gamedev www.twitch.tv/reklawcodes
