ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people

EMOTIONAL lability, fuck you autocucumber you programmatic cunt

And I'm just fed up of having to use my limited energy to control my own enough lability and no one realises how damned hard it is, and I just want to sort properly for once or go to sleep and not wake up

Oh I'm just exhausted & pissed off. I nearly fell over in the shower I'm so tired, & I got up earlier for something and no one appreciated it, and I've got two medical appts and a phone call next week, a new gas meter being fitted, then travelling to see my parents

And I'm still recovering from Nov

I have a wonderful, wonderful flatmate (my best friend), and a wonderful family, and wonderful friends

But fuck me, all I do is go to medical appts and then rot

Trapped in my own bloody life. And no self-help crap pls - I know that agency is important. It's also impossible when your health is bad

I've somehow managed to make it to 45 without accidentally getting a Nazi tattoo. Which is apparently an achievement for a man my age.

I think that might even be back in fashion. I mean, I wouldn't know, I have zero fashion sense of any kind

I'm not really sure to be honest, but I think guys sometimes colour code on the piping of their fetish gear

Can someone remind me again how many pay rises MPs have had in the past 15 years? 12? 13? Meanwhile, look at this (from the Nuffield Trust: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/ho...)

Anyone use Zotero on macOS?

The release notes for the update to v8 talk about the 'citation dialog' and toggling between list and library view

I've no idea what 'citation dialog' is and the UI is no different to v7

Did *you* notice a UI change?

06.03.2026 05:24 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

The good news: I've sorted it

The bad news: macOS has a couple of wonderful accessibility tools, including a colour namer (hover mouse over what you want to describe and please Ctrl)... and if that is turned on, the mousehover tool in rust-analyzer won't work (in ST4, not tried other editors)

I fucking hate computers

Install rust-analyzer, they said. It'll be great, they say

Anyone know why I can't get mousehover info using rust-analyzer in Sublime Text 4 on macOS?

'Why am I so exhausted?'

'You had 4 hours of hospital tests where you had to concentrate every second and sit in uncomfortable positions, and you have #MECFS you twit'

'Oh. Right.'

Continuity Badenoch is not the change I believe Labour promised in 2024.
