    I think the social internet peaked at oekaki board and it&amp;#39;s been in decline ever since

    Just found a tender proposal for the Hospital Authority that wants you to make a submission by putting a CD-ROM in a physical box 🫠

    Making cat scratchers out of cardboard boxes is great way to &amp;#39;reuse&amp;#39;! We go through these so fast at the shelter πŸ˜…

    RE: https://caneandable.social/@JonathanSimeone/117050244021571404 I regularly tell people that &amp;#39;no one goes into accessibility for money&amp;#39;, because accessibility professionals have to have deep knowledge across multiple specialties and are NOT adequately compensated for that knowledge. I think I have to revise that statement though, because clearly there is money to be made by being the biggest capitalist grifter ready to extract value out of a marginalized group. A shame.

    Fallen back into cross stitching, or as I like to call it, analog pixel art. However, the ratio of time spent is approximately 10:1 for time spent dreaming about new projects : time executing projects. whoops!

    My current contract is ending in September and a part of me is oddly zen about it, but I&amp;#39;m not sure if I should listen to that part or the 5% of me that&amp;#39;s screaming crying throwing up about the prospect of looking for something else

    I just encountered the worst credit card form in existence. They &amp;#39;helpfully&amp;#39; split up the credit card number field into four inputs, which breaks all autofill, and then if you made a typo in one of the inputs, you had to basically race the browser to click into the field to delete its contents before the debounce timer. How much money are they losing off of this??

    I&amp;#39;m so grateful to have a mother who not only accepts, but embraces her two queer children with non-traditional career paths. She&amp;#39;s always been supportive of whatever we chose to do. I always say that I have hit the Asian mother jackpot and I only hope that everyone else can be so lucky πŸ’›

    Aging is getting home from physio and texting like five different group chats about your appointment details because you all have the same aches and pains

    I was making a cup of tea and as I was pouring the boiling water my cat tried to jump on the counter where the cup was, and I punched him out of the air so he wouldn&amp;#39;t get hurt. He is so sad now but it is for the best

    what&amp;#39;s up guys! Today I&amp;#39;m going to be reviewing this razer mouse. Right out of the box, I can tell you the form factor is great, perfectly sized for my head, nice and smooth too. The only downside is that it keeps cycling through an RGB lighting pattern which ruins my sleep. 6/10.

    The group of people i see most regularly consists of three doctors and one party-person, yet somehow I, the nerd who works from home and masks the most, am the one who has gotten sick three times in the last two months. Whyyy

    I must say that slack deleting the workspaces of everyone in hk/taiwan/macao/mainland on April fool&amp;#39;s Day feels like a ginormous fucking joke

    The Slack thing and RAM prices are definitely a wakeup call. I&amp;#39;m hearing Synology is doing some anti-consumer things lately, what are the cool kids using for a NAS setup these days
