@jonny uhhhhhhhh delta.chat is more popular than anticipated, there's a new shortest-path algorithm that beats Dijkstra, PHP for websites is still fun...?
@jonny The squirrels in the park are getting to know me - they come running up to me now and some even take almonds from my fingers. Sometimes I'm mobbed by more than a dozen. It's a small thing, but it makes me happy 🙂
I always look out for the one with one eye, a poorly paw, missing the end of his tail. I have named him "Lucky". He always gets an extra nut.
@AbramKedge
I love them. The squirrels are good.
Just two weeks until starting eggplant seedlings!
@MCDuncanLab
I hope they are big and soft and you get em before they become woody! (Or one of them is left to become enormous and woody, I can never help myself)
@jonny I'll be attending my PhD graduation ceremony on the 22nd, and I get to wear this! 😂
@roaldarboel
YOU FREAKING DID IT!!! congratulations!!!!!!!
@jonny I did😂 THANKS! Such a relief😅
Something I’ve been understanding better is it’s a kindness to have the opportunity to be kind,
So here’s a thread of simple stories that involve kindness.
About three weeks ago Stella, an almost 2-year old retriever-lab mix ate some cheesecloth was in the trash. Next week she needed surgery;
@jonny 1. I got to hug my best friend again and tell him I love him the other day.
2. I installed Navidrome on my (old but still good!) Raspberry Pi because I let my music library languish after dumping Spotify.
3. I'm buying CDs and an optical drive so I can build a proper digital library.
4. I saw a kitty today. :3
We're all still in this together. You're not alone, friend. ❤️
some other wavelength that nabbed my attention away from the horrors for a minute:

@jonny@neuromatch.social my eating has been much less disordered (thanks to both partner and I making an attempt) and I have enjoyed cooking
I am also getting better at doing arpeggios on the guitar and have started loosely faffing about with little mini solos
I am also becoming more efficient and precise at chord changes, yay
also whatever unknown distressing chronic health thing I had for the last two weeks has, at least temporarily, subsided for now
also I went to the dentist and while my jaw is still a little sore today due to the work I need done, there has been a noted improvement in dental health thanks to the dentist's tips

@aud
These are such good wins. Happy for you :)
My crêpes for dinner tonight were the most successful they've been so far!
@stevegis_ssg
I hope they were thin and velvety. Or crunchy. Whatever the good one is
They were, most significantly, intact! I can get them even better but they were recognizably crêpes, which was the previously missing part.
@tk
I don't know how to do that and it sounds awesome. Thank you for defying the apparent limitations of the physical world by knowing a bunch about it
@jonny This is very small but our couch broke this weekend and we were worried it was ruined forever and we were very sad because we love it and it was expensive but then someone fixed it today for pretty cheap and now it is literally better than it was before!
@sus
Repair is also still sacred, thank you for reminding me too
@kristinHenry
That is a really cool effect, nicely done!
@jonny the Nyt tech bloggers are finally talking about mastodon
