sixty poems i've never shared before, basically a result of hording and writing on and off for years. I decided to put them in reverse chronological order in case I decide to add more.

#selfcare - Rest easy #fediverse

Howdy Folx, here's an #introduction from me!

I am an engineering and environmental studies student. I'm currently interested in digital humanities and archival as well as city planning. I work in energy efficiency strategy and as a program assistant for an LGBTQ+ online community org.

I am #queer, #trans, #neurodivergent, and Burmese Chinese.

I like to make bracelets, listen to math rock, learn about the early internet, explore create. I dabble in graphic design and digital art as well.

I have never used a status focused social media platform before. I look forward to learning along with you all and growing in community.

i noticed some similarities between the sites that come up on my feed.
- https://endoflife.date/
- https://killedbygoogle.com/
- A website I can't remember the name of but shows kickstarters that never got any funding

and thinking about what this says about how information deprecates over time, the lifespan of different projects, and biases in failure/success perspectives

listened to a bit of the podcast by #redhat, "Command Line Heroes". Its seventh season talks about the internet class of 95.

https://www.redhat.com/en/command-line-heroes

the very first episode explains the origins of .com and the #arpanet, including an interview with Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, who back then was "the internet's sole #librarian".

its easy enough to follow without having an extensive technical background imo, cool to hear the history behind it all. in previous seasons they talk about the origins of different OS's, #retrocomputing, and more.

i'm thinking about getting a pair of noise canceling headphones but i would also like another pair of earbuds/headphones that are more portable so i can leave the headphones in my room.

does anyone have recommendations for earbuds/headphones that are preferably made sustainably, are durable (i'm very clumsy), decent battery life, potentially a built in mic, and have blue tooth?

please don't suggest air pods

please take a look at the lovely writings of @deianeira who has utilized Your World of Text, an infinite monospaced typing canvas, to share pieces of their work

cw: "these are sometimes intimate personal thoughts. Mentions of all nature of things that might not be fun, encouraging, beneficial or fruitful. Potentially harmful."

I'm tired of discourse I just want to be held

Currently learning about tree guards which, if done correctly, can be lovely protectors of #trees especially in #urban areas. I've seen them around but didn't know many are often built by community members.
I'll put some photos of nice ones I find in the thread, but warning that bad ones tend to be the tight plastic ones that have been shipped out in recent for new trees, restricting and harming long term growth.

Do you recognize yourself in the mirror?

aaaah i finally caught up with unwell the midwestern gothic #podcast

if you like horror/ghost stories and queer and bipoc rep, definitely recommended the podcast

somewhere towards the end of season two though they started adding like five minute long ads to the beginning though as a heads up

damn this ordinary diff equation solver for matlab is p nice too bad it's deprecated

i wonder how many useful matlab and just math tools in general are lost on the net now forever, making their way to the internet archive if theyre lucky

i should do a search for math tools on the internet archive
