  • 🗃️ Task Completed by Avoidance

    Today I avoided an important task.

    [...]

    Avoidance is productive, just not in the intended direction.

    Energy is neither created nor destroyed - only redirected into lower risk activities.

    If I optimize enough peripheral systems, perhaps the central issue will resolve itself out of respect.

  • worm first night

    I went to bed at 20:30 and fell asleep really fast. Got woken up at 23:30, my daughter calling. It was sweet to chat more.

    I can't get back to sleep. There is an unfamiliar feeling, something from the past. It's not enjoyable, but I guess I need to go through it. I feel like I've escaped that feeling for the last couple years. And now it's there, like an old song I haven't heard for a while. Filled with melancholia, a sense of aimlessness.

    I am reminded of a reflection I had last week. These layers, that compound over each other. Each time something is not resolved and I move on to something more exciting, I create a layer. In order to remove these layers, I need to deal with them sequentially starting with the latest stuff. Once this is dealt with, the previous layer now come to the surface. Will I escape in something new or deal with that layer? There is a moment of choice, continue removing layers, or creating new ones? I guess I can also stall in the in-between, for a moment.

  • playing again with akkoma :3

    heya, it's emily. im feeling young and dumb again, so i'm gonna muck around in akkoma on my raspberry pi.

    i tried updating it but, uhm, it's been a long time, and the dependency upgrades are not having it, so i'm gonna try rebuilding akkoma in a different folder and just copy the database to the new install (i'm writing this in realtime, right now ffmpeg is installing).
