staryu continues to say happy pride month

Huge shoutouts to Rectangle Corner ✈️ Somnio Noctem ✈️ Tidal Waves for creating the most useful, adorable, convenient leverless controller for setting up PS5s. Check them out (they also make regular-sized controllers too, promise) if you're at #EVO2025!

This was my first time doing a Walmart digital line-up thing and it worked and then errored and I freaked out because I had 5 minutes left but then it worked and then I was thrilled and then my payment method failed so I freaked out but then it worked. What a rollercoaster! 😅

It's my first day of chemotherapy. Didn't sleep, cried a bunch, entertained every worst-case and terrible contingency. Today, I remember my late grandmother who made it through five types of cancer during her long life. Gosh, I need her strength now. I will make it through.

Survived day 1 of cancer treatment. 179ish more to go! Thank you to everyone who showed some love or shared some strength. It was a day full of very bizarre new experiences, but I'm hopeful it will help contribute to total recovery.

This is the face of someone who made it through chemotherapy infusion #2 today! This starts the second of six initial chemo cycles, each fourteen days long, before my team determines next steps. It'll be another ten-ish days of lethargy and weird side-effects for me for now. 😤

It's fitting that my immediate favorite songs from Taylor Swift's new album have the most annoying names ("Wood," "Wi$h Li$t"), but holy crap that was a great first listen. We're so back.

hi folks! got laid off last week, looking for roles in software engineering or product management -- if folks can help me with a referral or connect me to people they know I'd greatly appreciate it <3
