Header for gintoxicating: A (fake) picture of a dictionary entry for "autism". It says: a disability where you are surrounded by illogical people who refuse to listen to you and repeatedly create overwhelming situations for you to navigate.

i post for attention and affection (youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny

found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the later)

i donā€™t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

75 SHOTS is hosting a screening and live Q&A with Lily Alexandre.

Lily's film Notes on Vanishing is her means of reconciling two competing impulses: the need for public resistance and the instinct to withdraw from the source of harm. The result is a work suspended between exposure and retreat, politics and self-preservation.

Tickets are pay what you can, and proceeds directly support queer artists facing precarity, censorship, displacement, and risk.

Lily's work is also available on YouTube, Nebula, and Patreon

important poll

which is the correct way to store drinkware: sitting on its mouth or on its butt

(i need to know how much of fedi is incorrect)

Poll closed , 28 votes total
  • Option 1, mouth of cup, opposite of drinking
    46.43% , 13 votes
  • Option 2, base of cup, same as drinking
    53.57% , 15 votes
two glass pint-sized cups sit alone in my cupboard (wow so literal) on the left is a cup is placed on the mouth - where you drink out of. or, in other words, upside down from the way if using/drinking from it on the right is a cup sitting on its bottom (base?), positioned in the same way you would if using/drinking from it

important safety/security concern if you have an accessible amazon wishlist and especially if you use it to receive things from internet people or other strangers: you can no longer disable sharing your address with third party sellers. These folks can and often do disclose it to the purchaser.

And, to be clear, anyone can be a third party seller on Amazon which means anyone can get your physical shipping address and full name with ease.

Despite what this email says, the Amazon list page says this functionality is already disabled thus you are already at risk ("This setting will no longer be supported starting February 25, 2026. After this date, third-party sellers will receive your shipping address to fulfill orders.")

This is bad. If you have any hope for privacy and do not use a PO Box, make sure to unshare your lists.

 Snippet from an Amazon email saying they will dox you now if you use amazon wishlists. cool. "You're receiving this notice because you have one or more Amazon Lists that are shared with others and have a delivery address set up. We're writing to inform you about an upcoming change to Amazon Lists. Starting March 25, 2026, we will remove the option to restrict purchases from third-party sellers for list items. When this change takes effect, gift purchasers will be able to purchase items sold by third-party sellers from your lists and your delivery address will be shared with the seller for fulfillment. This change will provide gift purchasers with access to a wider selection of items when shopping from your lists. Important note: When gifts are purchased from your shared or public lists, Amazon needs to provide your shipping address to sellers and delivery partners to fulfill these orders. During the delivery process, your address may become visible to gift purchasers through delivery updates and tracking information. To help protect your privacy, we recommend using a PO Box or non-residential address for any list you share with public audiences."
