I think I may know why he’s single. :p

I dunno. The older I get, the more stuff like this feels important—both to write and to witness. What is the point of it all if not understanding and connection?

Thank you for sharing these parts of you with us.

...fuck, thank you for reminding me Terra Ignota exists and that I really should make sure I own my own copies of it (since I'd read Ammy's). Also, if there are lesbians in the polycule, you've gotta add the Locked Tomb series to your list.

It’s so good. Be prepared to cry. Well, maybe, it hit some stuff that’s pretty specific to me so I’m probably not the best judge. But it’s still good.

Forgotten Island… holy fuck. I don’t think a movie has made me cry that hard in a while. >< The stuff about memories just… fuck. That felt so targeted at me. I was not okay walking out of that movie and I’m just sitting in the car processing all this before I drive home. No spoilers but… damn. ><

Acme vs Coyote was cute and made me want to hug all the coyotes in my life. It was a really sweet portrayal of a coyote who is normally the villain.

Double feature today heh. Acme vs Coyote and Forgotten Island, with some good friends.

Hm, maybe I should just put whatever long-form writing I want to do on FA.

I’m still absolutely fucking furious with them, and with how I was treated, and I didn’t really want to be reminded of that.

*long, slow exhale* Just love receiving texts from United about my ex and her new wife’s flight. That’s surely what I needed today.

Worried about you, friend. Here if you ever wanna talk or vent or whatever. <3

Excuse you, we are a public safety *service*. We lay in the middle of things to remind you to watch where you’re going. Y’know, so you don’t trip over a cat.

no. NO. ugh. I cannot with San Francisco anymore. ><

Oh it’s fine, it resolved itself. Seems more likely to have been a migraine precursor ‘cuz I seem to be starting one this morning now. ><

Holy hell that was a lot of water. x.x

Des @deskitty.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I do but honestly it’s probably better just to let it sort itself out. My guess is it’s just reacting to changes in my environment (i.e. parents being out of town, seasonal shift/weather chaos, work stress, etc.).

010

Des @deskitty.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

My stomach has been low-key annoyed for the last couple days and I’m not sure if it’s just the seasonal change or a biochemical shift or what, but I wish it wouldn’t. ><

Des @deskitty.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I have this theory that every single UI is gradually evolving to look like one of those Little Tikes cars with bright colors and rounded edges everywhere. Why? It’s attention-grabbing, it drives metrics. Who cares how it feels to use on a daily basis if the fancy gradient means more dopamine?

My sona IS me (hi, therian XD) so I don’t fully relate, but I’m glad you’ve got that to lean on. *hugs* for whatever’s difficult right now. I hope it passes quickly. ><

lolllll $1.2k in labor and they had the car for only ~2.5 hours. That was both the inspection / regular service it needed and swapping all 4 TPMS sensors. (And I’m pretty sure they marked up the parts too.) I need to find somewhere independent that services EVs because that was a fucking scam.

Rrrff. I’m sorry, friend. Getting old is hard. Keeping y’all in my thoughts.

The cat has positioned himself such that it is literally dangerous for me to back my chair up away from the desk. Help I have to pee ;.;

A tuxedo cat laying in the floor with his back pressed up against the leg of a rolling desk chair. There is sunlight reflecting off the floor, and he is positioned for maximum sun absorption despite the risk of the chair leg.

Man, reviewing AI code is making me feel smart today, I’m catching dumb shit the AI review process itself is missing. Like, really dumb shit. Turns out human context is irreplaceable. :p

Maaaan my nephew is walking and starting to make almost-words, and my niece is drawing faces now. Something something they grow up so fast >< Anyway having dinner with my brother and his family was nice.

There is definitely some kind of brain rot going on, speaking from personal experience. :/

I did not go to Folsom. I did, however, play through more of Subnautica 2 with @foxontheinter.net . And I think maybe that was the right call. Folsom probably would’ve been a bit much for me today. *sigh* Oh well.

050

Des @deskitty.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Vaguely want to go to Folsom but also haven’t made plans to go with anyone. Also got enough stuff to do that my desire to be social is warring with my desire to be productive. What do ><

Stopped off in downtown San Mateo after dropping my parents at the airport and man… I love this place, but so so many bittersweet memories here. :( Wandered the Japanese garden, got coffee, saw random furries I didn’t know and was too shy to say hi to. Miss this place. Miss that time in my life. :/

091

Des @deskitty.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Huh, random group of furries in downtown San Mateo today, wonder if it was just a group of friends, or is there an actual meet? I didn’t wanna be nosy so I didn’t say anything, but. ^o.o^;;

Des @deskitty.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oh my god this is hilarious. Meta using Claude to write code (and I agree, the vibe is unmistakably Claude) and their whole agent harness is a container full of hacked-together shell scripts and cron jobs that can just write into its own filesystem. This is an embarrassment to software engineering.

Oops. Suddenly overwhelmed. ><

Des @deskitty.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I am so tired of worrying about whether the second part of that makes people uncomfortable. I am so tired of my mere *existence* making people uncomfortable. And I am finally, in my late 30s and early 40s, starting to internalize that’s a *them* problem, not a me problem.

I ran a team that built and shipped a highly-successful b2b cloud product from scratch. I was president of my HOA’s board. I wrote a popular Firefox extension from scratch FOR FUN. I am *also* a shy subby little enby gremlin cat who’s into lots of freaky shit and hopes to be Owned again one day.

This. So much this. I am so fucking tired of having to split my life into “safe for public consumption” and not. Bluesky has been an experiment in crossing the streams just enough that I can be a whole person while the “respectables” who might get their boxer-briefs in a bunch don’t have to notice.

Ohhhh gotcha. Wild that the wall comes in that far, but fair. It just looked really strange and a lot like a water line leak because of how the swelling is shaped. Anyway, glad you know what’s up at least.
