       love having my pussy installation delayed because I am too busy to act as the message delivery system between 3 different parts of the NHS(it also doesn't help that the system is constantly degrading — I used to be able to book an appointment at any time, but now my GP has succumbed to the "wake up at 0830 first come first serve" thing)

       half the issue is in my mind doing paperwork is pointless and stupid and thus it doesn't get prioritised over actually hard things like "my day job" and "having a house again"... but then you take a look at the calendar and whoops, that email has been waiting for my input for 2 months now, fuck

       "in order for you to process your referral please provide the following details": all this shit is stuff you could have asked the Welsh Gender Service for. why do I need to be involved?they won't even take blood results that I provide myself from my notes; they want them on headed paper, which makes my role in this utterly silly

       I wonder whether a university education will turn out to be more worthwhile with the advent of LLM slop & search engines being completely useless

       I restored my phone and now it is very very slowly adding back ALL of the random transit cards I bought to fill up the secure element as a bit in 2024. this is equal parts hilarious and annoying, since I do actually want to use Apple Wallet ;w;

       yet another rejection to rent a property in cardiff 🙃 a total of 4 and there will no doubt be more...(we almost found a place that was first come first serve and not this bullshit probably discriminatory system, but then it didn't have parking)

       I'm actually not sure I can be bothered writing the sycophantic emails they get you to write explaining why you'd be a great tenant any more when they ALWAYS end up in the bin

       of all the database systems I've used Clickhouse is definitely the most "eldritch creature"-coded one. I've just given it another 500G of disk space to work with and it has reacted by using all the CPUs on the machine to do … I guess whatever it wanted to do beforehand but never could?

       finally managing to unlearn a lot of my internalised misanthropy and it turns out the world makes a lot more sense if you assume other people are capable of basic human decency towards you and are just trying their best, oops

       it did take a few hilarious interactions likeme: "yeah I don't know why [person] decided to invite me to this thing. I don't even know them very well"someone else: "they were trying to make friends with you"me: "ohhh"in my defence I didn't really have a sense of self until like 5 years ago, which seems necessary for internalising the concept that people can like you for who you are

       really enjoyed reading "Putting trans people in the Omelas hole" by @iris_meredith (via @eval sharing it with me) — one of those posts where it's like "oh holy shit, I've actually held these views for ages but this puts it all in to words really well"

       @maartje (not that there's anything about you that's particularly hateable, to be clear, I mean that I can relate)
