Content warning: Autistic realization
I'm very excited to announce that I'm going to speaking at the #OpenUK State of Open Con 2024 conference in February š
There's an incredible line-up and I'm very proud to be one of the talks chosen - from the submissions to the Open Source Software and Open Source tracks that I was helping review, there was some incredible submissions and speakers, so it's very cool to have made it to the line-up!
I'll be speaking about dependency-management-data, but for those that have seen me speak about it before, there's a tonne of new stuff since my last talks, and I've got some new stuff that'll be dropping into the project + the talk before the talk in February š

Extra special ā¤ļø to my fellow high functioners. Thereās nothing easy about grinding to a halt, but thereās also a special kind of hell for people who continue to function and seem normal. It feels like drowning in plain sight. And on that note, the phrase āitās OK not to be OKā can pop itself right in the sea as far as Iām concerned. Tolerance of poor mental health is bare minimum. Being not OK isnāt OK. People donāt need āpermissionā to be in that place, they need to be helped out of it.
TW: Suicide 2 nights ago I was in the worst place Iāve been mentally for years. I didnāt want to be alive anymore and I didnāt plan to act on it but I know itās a short step from there. I sent a mayday text to 3 of my closest people and within 20 mins had someone with me. After a big chat, and 2 days of proper sleep, eating well, seeing friends and healthy distraction, Iām feeling much calmer and I can see the woods from the trees. Contā¦

Every single person I know is currently at Grade A, Defcon-1, Ultra Premium Level exhaustion right now. So if you're scanning social media and this applies to you, let this be your motivational speech. DON'T do thing. DON'T go get it girl. STAY in bed. ORDER in. EAT some soup. TAKE a nap. REST is not failure. REST does not make you weak. REST is not laziness. REST is self care. REST.

There's a decent chance Republicans start a civil war if Trump loses. But there's also a decent chance they'll start a civil war if they read the wrong Facebook post about Etsy.

You may remember I had my autism assessment last week on Wednesday. I was told Iād receive the report today or tomorrow morning and Iād have a feedback session via video call tomorrow at 1pm. I have sent two emails since then to ask for confirmation of appointment and link to said video call. No response. Anyway I have come to the end of my assessment of my assessor and I hereby declare he is not autistic.

Attached: 1 image I used to be enthusiastic about technology. Was a teen when people made homepages. I could talk to people around the world. Mobile phones were neat. You could text your friends. Then with smart phones you could practice language and play genuinely innovative games for a couple of bucks. I can't remember the last time I was genuinely excited by tech. Maybe it's a factor of becoming a jaded old piece of shit.

The problem w mental health care is the tendency to prioritize help only when individuals are on the brink of crisis. If people were believed and their concerns prioritized during the descent rather than waiting until they hit rock bottom, it would be a game changer for the mental health epidemic

I have no idea how many times I saw the series, but Captain Holt was always one of my favorite characters. He will be genuinely missed. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/andre-braugher-dead-brooklyn-nine-nine-1235835771/
