If you need it to live, it's a human right. Anti-establishment & anti-state. Documentation, rhetoric PhD, long hauler, & mom of one. Survived a stroke in 2022.

I know I’m fishing, but I need the answer.

Am I a capable adult? Do my aspirations fit my abilities? Am I intelligent/clever enough to be worth talking to?

My pride/ego has been shredded the past few months.

@jakereprise @chhopsky As an aside to this, I unsuccessfully took my cat to Taco Bell once. She absolutely ruined my takeout, and she was methodical about it, too.

…she was so great.

@chhopsky I was so excited by the first sentence of this post only. I was about to show all my stupid ass spreadsheets about games .. even freemium mobile ones or Neko Atsume.

I worked until 9 last night and cried for like two hours after. I cried about two hours today. I feel like I’m too stupid to ever be anything more than my brain injury. That’s all I am — someone who wanted to do cool things, learn cool things, but I never will. I’m not smart.

If it ever comes up.. It’s not a lot but I have about 1.5 million gold in game. You can have it if you make sure my toons are logged out in Zangarmarsh and Tanaris, in order of which toon is “first” on screen. Preferably “old” Tanaris turned on so it has the old music.

Help. I am collapsing emotionally. If you can spare the emotional energy, I need help navigating a psych clinic who went MAHA without titrating down correctly. I need help studying and burning new, complex info to my brain. I need to be reminded I am a capable person, LC or not.

Hey @Blizzard_Ent, you want a great writer who knows how to do team writing and editing, has degrees in it, can work with devs with said writing, and has read your entire backlog? You should hire me. I’m great. I’ll come to Cali even.

Anyone need a #technicalwriter or #docs person who knows Python and VCL? Hit me up .. or hit them up. Whichever. #jobposting

I have struggled with aphasia - and still do - and I will actually die before willingly losing my “voice” again. It was taken from me once, and I clawed it back. It was an ugly process of which I’m extremely proud. Willingly giving it away? Not a chance.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

as soon as AI is good enough to write blog posts in my voice as good as I would have written them, i intend to use AI to do so. I know what I want to say, and I could say so much more if I didn't need to manual labor the words out one by one

@AndeanHermedic I will actually die before I let it take my voice. You know what it looked like when I was trying to get it back. It was ugly, and I’m proud of it anyway. I will not ever willingly give it up ESPECIALLY to fascist technocrats.

@Red_Fr0st @Wowhead I wonder how this guy is doing. He had guts asking this.

@Krexxal I was high when I saw it and I can’t STOP laughing.

When did modern printers start telling me where in the device the paper jam was and how to access it? @Brother_Intl - aside from not telling me my drum was actually USED UP (it was) - you're the only printer that's not a hell pit of a UX. Thanks for that.

@that_kind_oforc :( 40 isn't so bad is it? (I turn 39 and am pretty grey)

This is actually the best ever

@ladidaix @eriktorenberg I've heard that argument made before somewhere else, too. I've heard it explained as what we do in tech comm, that just shouting instructions is cold, indifferent, and insufficient for what we do. To bridge a gap (between dev and user), we need to make real connection.
