useless library is useless

Who should I thank? My so-called "colleagues," who laugh at me behind my back, all the while becoming famous on my work? My worthless graduate students, whose computer skills appear to be limited to downloading bitmaps off of netnews? My parents, who are still waiting for me to quit "fooling around with computers," go to med school, and become a radiologist? My department chairman, a manager who gives one new insight into and sympathy for disgruntled postal workers?
My God, no one could blame me---no one!---if I went off the edge and just lost it completely one day. I couldn't get through the day as it is without the Prozac and Jack Daniels I keep on the shelf, behind my Tops-20 JSYS manuals. I start getting the shakes real bad around 10am, right before my advisor meetings. A 10 oz. Jack 'n Zac helps me get through the meetings without one of my students winding up with his severed head in a bowling-ball bag. They look at me funny; they think I twitch a lot. I'm not twitching. I'm controlling my impulse to snag my 9mm Sig-Sauer out from my day-pack and make a few strong points about the quality of undergraduate education in Amerika.
If I thought anyone cared, if I thought anyone would even be reading this, I'd probably make an effort to keep up appearances until the last possible moment. But no one does, and no one will. So I can pretty much say exactly what I think.
Oh yes, the acknowledgements. I think not. I did it. I did it all, by myself.

and wow this kid tried to tell me agentic workflows are necessary to build a storefront that can "compete with big corporations"

AI-pilled people are so fucking dumb

hey y'all, i always hate do this (and if i am doing it the situation is desperate) but i'm needing some financial assistance. rent is due and because of some unexpected events i'm short. i've just started a job but won't be getting paid for about two weeks so i'm asking for help. i'm not even going to bother putting a number on it because it's a lot, but needless to say i need all the help i can get. as always please don't send anything unless you can definitely afford to. venmo and BTC are preferred because it's the easiest way to send in my rent, but i've provided a few other options as well. thank y'all 🖤 🖤 🖤 (boosting for visibility is also appreciated.)

#MutualAid

finally got the little homeserver back online <3 devops days ahead

get a rare message back from a company on indeed with a few questions to answer

"oh cool, very simple and no red flags as of yet" click click... wait what?

"messaging for this employer is currently disabled, check back later" what the FUCK

drawing polycrisis

all of a sudden out loud: aw yeah that's gay

Hey what fresh new hell is this? Perpetual begging?

I'd prefer not. And -actually- catching up on bills would make it possible for me to STAY on top of them. Have so many projects in the pipe to try and keep the lights on but its hard to get them done when I'm THIS economically strapped.

October Fund Raising:

$0 / $2000

$1000 - passed due bills
$1000 - late fees, current bills...

Venmo/paypal - $nullagent

wow this element parked behind me has probably 30k+ in aftermarket parts and addons and he doesnt even live in it T-T

he parked downtown and went mountain bike riding... like what?

i am 100% dependent on donations to make ends meet currently. i live in my van and have few expenses (fuel+insurance on the van, phone bill, cloud bills, and food basically) but having all that accounted for lets me focus on my work, ie polycrisis and my open source dev+research

in a couple weeks i'm gonna be leaving Santa Fe for the west coast to see some people and switch it up for a while, so i'm gonna dump a bunch of money into fuel. would love to be able to offset that preemptively

you can donate (or hire me for contract work~~) at https://lightcrystal.systems/support or please boost for reach #mutualAid #transMutualAid

#drawtober 01

The more local of my two girlfriends, Audrey, drinking tea and writing fanfiction~

kicked off spooky season with an unexpected find of [REDACTED]

#askFedi image search APIs i should look at integrating into #orb?

drawing with light bondage themes and suggestive text in the post

It's another Flat Fuck Friday, but a more real drawing this time!

This is Cali, a pseudo-robotgirl. There's a brief description and some extra text on my website: https://hamsternet.neocities.org/gallery/20260909_flatcali/

I don't think mastodon compression will cause problems for the "pixel" effect...

#sketchbook

i'm a spooky girl, in a spooky world

idk why people even bother with firefox at this point lol

according to the models it will stop raining after tomorrow and we will have a string of sunny weather by the weekend

i cant wait T-T

constant rain while youre sick and live in a small vehicle is pretty immiserating.

the other day (saturday i think?) we got like a full day of sunlight and it felt sooo good on my skin

#polycrisis 01.11

no really this is happening

https://wyrm.online/polycrisis_01#p11

just finished another polycrisis page, will upload it tomorrow. im feeling very excited for drawtober also. i have a few ideas in the queue already and im glad to have the time and approaching the wellbeing to really lock in on my illustrations.

also plopped my server into its new home finally so over the next few days i will be able to resume lightcrystal offsite backups and set up some fresh CICD pipelines to put that recent dollctl work to practical use

as for now, it's time to settle into bed...

Parenting while Black sure costs a lot. And if some people have their way it could cost lives...

keep fucking going

it's crazy how much of western esotericism comes down to cis dudes being either volcels or gooners but that's because everything is about desire
