So, over in Zuckland, the "memories" algorithm showed me a recent photo from not long before I started my #nonbinary transition. It's not like I'm on HRT or anything, but I was completely shocked by how foreign that 2 year-old picture looked to me. I often feel like I haven't really changed at all, but I kinda have a hard time intuitively thinking of that pic from a couple years ago as "me".

Amazon is totally making me feel a little called out today.

"Hm. My lab is dim and I do too much fiddly electronics work. I should get head-mounted magnifier and led."

My new mental image of myself:

From the everyday #retrocomputing project, behold my personal website rendered on the Spectrum Internet Suite browser on MAME's AppleIIGS emulation, featuring my port of Uthernet emulation.

I go playing around with Merlin 16+, an assembler-linker for the Apple IIGS. I type one little subcommand and get a very deep-cuts blast from the past. Fifty Internet Points to the person who spots it.

Inspired by some exchanges with @neauoire as well as my own NES "how it's done" labs, I'm taking up a project I'm calling "everyday #retrocomputing". My goal is to do my everyday stuff from a #6502 based machine. Step 1 today was to get some kind of emulator working with a TCP/IP stack. After some hemming and hawwing, I got GSPort building on modern Linux and got its network stack working! With a basic telnet client, I can have the rest of the project bootstrapped.

So, yeah, like I said, I'm officially at that "Oh, so this is what it feels like to see your picture and feel happy. Let's do this ALL THE TIME!" phase of #gender euphoria. The tank top's cute. #enby

Behold, my lab and ham shack. The temple to my nerditude.

Fun fact-- the shirt was my mother's old maternity blouse from when she was carrying me.

I don't food porn often, but this made from scratch smorgas and home-infused akavit is just too good not to share

I haven't had a #bike in three years, so this new ride is a real treat and luxury to me right now.

A small step, perhaps, but a spooky one for me.

More from the #Barcelona #protests of the sentencing of #Catalan separatist leaders for sedition. Things were peaceful in town but I hear the airport was shut down due to struggles with the police and/or military.

Some images from the protests in #Barcelona today. Several leaders of #Catalan separatism were sentenced today for their role in the announcement of the Catalan Republic in 2017. Many Catalans view them as political prisoners. I do, too.

#funemployment day 2, the standard substandard performance. See if you can spot when I couldn't stay out of the trees. #discgolf

#funemployment day 1. Some inspired play; some beefed putts. I'm generally very happy with this score. #discgolf

Me most days these days.

Shaky on my skates or not, I still did a thing today.

We have a new coffee mug in the shape of a cat head. The tea ceremony student in me reflexively cringes at drinking from the side with the face.

Today my tea ceremony school celebrated hastugama ("first kettle"), which is a bit like the tea ceremony analog to Imbolc. Pictured here is the traditional display of rice, charcoal, abalone, persimmons, and a special kind of tangerine. In the alcove are early-bud willow branches. The scroll says "Today is a day to be liked."
