missed a doctor's appointment due to moving stuff and feeling pretty bleak about it 😔

I’m in the middle of moving, so I’ll try to keep this one short, but here’s links!

Mikhail Klimentov: Kill the CEO in your head

Genuinely though. I’ve read so much writing about games that just feels like a press release.

Os Keyes: Beyond Trans Archives, Beyond Trans Medicine

Please, if you only read one thing this week, let it be this. I found it in my read later pile, saved from a recommendation from probably god knows where. It’s a deep and loving look at archival practices, trans joy, and our relationship with academics. It will leave you in tears.

Laura Michet: It's okay to be a certain kind of hooligan

I do not "understand" getting that mad about having to drive slowly behind cyclists for a minute. I never will. It's deranged, murderous behavior. I'm glad to call it criminal.

I love basically everything Laura Michet writes, and this is no different. Read her stuff! It’s good!

jergling: 2026: A Tech Odyssey

You are awakened by a digital chime at exactly 4:00 a.m. Peeling your eyes open, you see the walls begin to shine in a rainbow of RGB waves. Your handheld greets you in Scarlett Johansson’s voice, through the bedside speaker…

A short story about the hell…

They say “great artists steal”, and I wanted to showcase how I’ve solved some problems I’ve run into on my site by showing some niche dependencies I’ve picked up. Note that these are mostly files that have originated from other sources that I’ve copied in by hand as opposed to imported.

HAST util from Lezer

I will go more into depth on this on a future article on how syntax highlighting on my blog works, but to summarize: I use a tool called Lezer to handle syntax highlighting. This library is part of the pipeline my blog uses for adding that syntax highlighting. This was written by Joel Gustafson and mentioned in an incredible blog post going into some of the history around syntax highlighting. I copied it into my site basically wholesale, and you can find it in my codebase here (converted to javascript from typescript for some reason). I generally prefer copying code in over importing it, because it helps me understand what the code does, and it allows me to tune the code to better fit the needs of my s…

New week new links!

Michelle Starr: Mammals Have Evolved Into Anteaters at Least 12 Times Since The Dinosaurs

Have you heard the news? Eating ants is the next big thing in animals!

Patricia Taxxon: mental health update

I'm just going to soapbox for a second. You might have DID without knowing it. It's far more mundane and common than you think it is. You don't need to hear voices in your head or wake up in random places without knowing how you got there. It can be a kind of depression that makes your memory spotty. A sense that something terrible has happened to you, but that feels like it happened to someone else, leaving you suspiciously unscathed.

This is genuinely just a mental health update from a youtuber I follow, but there's a lot of really good bits in here. I have rewatched it a handful of times, which is impressive when it's only two days old, just to hear the specific ways she phrases stuff. I think that it's a mark of a good writer when even the functional writing sticks with you.

Dr. Devon Price: Is Your Fear of Gender Transition Really the Fear of Aging?

Even the fear of transition regret is a resistance to the irreversibility of time. Life’s options inevitably winn…
