You know what sucks? When you lose some of your nice flatware... err... ummm... I mean when your roommate loses several pieces of your flatware and won't admit to it or offer to replace it.

If you're into the circus, you could just follow me today. I'm dealing with a) scheduling for my shows for December, including what times, what personnel I'll have, and promotion and advertisement; b) dealing with assisted living facilities for my mother, including some profoundly depressing realizations about pricing, which also involves dealing with the family, of course; c) the results of the imaging I got on Thursday, which apparently still aren't ready even though they said they would be; and d) an injured ankle, which has my wives nagging me to go to urgent care.
Wife-3 has to get to the pain management doctor and it's killing me not being right there with her when she needs me (the downside of #polyamory ...there's only one of me, and my wives deserve their husband)
Yeah, sorry, I'm #bitching

Whatever you do, don’t give up. Because all you can do once you’ve given up is bitch.

I like #hummus. I happened to be at Sobey's and decided to get some, though it's not where I usually buy hummus. They had this brand, "Fontaine Sante" (sorry, I can't type diacritical marks), and I bought the roasted red pepper "classic natural hummus". It's this one:
https://www.fontainesante.com/en/products/hummus-rrp
It has the usual ingredients you'd expect - chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, lemon juice, oil - plus the roasted red pepper. Nothing unusual there.
And it's ... awful. Not only does it not taste like any hummus I've ever had, it actually tastes downright unpleasant. I'm going to end up throwing the nearly-full container in the trash, and I *hate* wasting food. And no, it's not past its best-before date or anything like that. It's fresh.
I feel bad, because it's a Canadian company, but this stuff is inedible. The brand I usually buy is Sabra, but they don't carry that at Sobey's, plus it's American. I can eat their stuff by the pound.
Anyone familiar with this Fontaine Sante brand? Is it always like this?

I got sick a month ago. Took a covid test (nasal swab) and it was negative. Never went to the doctor. Had drainage for THREE WEEKS afterwards. Drainage is mostly gone now, but everything I eat and drink tastes like metal. Even water.
Like, did I have that new variant of covid that can't be detected with the swab test? Is this my life now? Aaaaaaaaaaah

I had a dream where my dad realized the damage supporting Republicans has and continues to do, and decided to change his ways. It’s a stark contrast from what really happens, which makes reality feel so much worse.
I ignore it, but even if he thinks he doesn’t hate anyone, he listens to and is a fan of people who hate and want to hurt others for being slightly different and he does what those people want their audiences to do.
The ideology of hate and lack of reason tears apart not just the families of its numerous arbitrary targets, but those containing both infected and normal people too. I would be a lot closer to my dad if I thought that he could be trusted to know the whole truth.
The converse example seems to be true, too—thanks to a humorous conversation that happened once, I know that my mother’s mother has absolutely no problem with me being gay and I’m very friendly with her now. (Did I actually post the picture of the cat with the Wii U stuff in the background? That was at her house.) She is a friend and ally to the real me and I know it. That goes a long way.
And he is a good person in basically every other aspect. I don’t know what to do about the conservative ideology that has its destructive hold on his mind.

Hey, everyone. Allēna here. Lately, I’ve been grieving the fact that the body is so disabled. Therefore, I don’t know how hopeful or positive this post will be, but I can promise that it’ll be honest.
I was never abled. After having a stroke so young, I was always an odd duck. However, I could always fake being abled a whole lot better when I was younger. I could…power through better, so to speak. I know now that just because a disabled person can sometimes power through something, they really fucking shouldn’t. But I miss the days when I even could..
I had to learn how to dissociate from the body and power through tasks that would otherwise be horribly physically painful (and often still were) in order to escape further abuse from my mother, Hera and thereby avoid becoming so burnt out I stopped functioning at all.
I was going to hurt either way, so I might as well take the less painful option and give her hell on the way out, using my wrath at her as fuel. The extent to which Hera wanted my system to appear normal refused to accommodate our neurodivergence or even acknowledge it existed at all, choosing instead to take a “my way or the highway” approach. So I was fucking pissed enough at her that my system and I ended up choosing the fucking highway.
This crippled the body further, as we had to haul ass even harder to survive, despite hauling ass as a baseline for over the past decade. We were beyond burnt out, and when we started working through our trauma, we started to feel it deeply. Eight, who was our host at the time, could often barely get out of bed for weeks at a time. We’ve improved a great deal since that point, but we’re still largely bed and housebound due to chronic pain, fatigue, and agoraphobia.
This makes me horribly sad a lot of the time. I’m still working on getting diagnoses and treatment for everything that’s ailing me health-wise, I just want to bitch for a second because I’m in my feelings about it, even though solutions are very much in progress. I had gotten so good at powering through after college that I was training for a marathon and was often swimming, as well before the body rebelled, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to run cross country or swim outside again, seeing as the body takes psychic and physical damage whenever it’s outdoors for a number of reasons and we are, in essence, allergic to the sun. And I know that listening to my body and meeting its needs is more important than powering through in any situation, but it just… bugs me and upsets me to a huge degree. Ah, well. One day at a time, I guess. I’ll get there. ✨
Stay tuned for more magic, y’all.
-Allēna

I'm trying to work out how to find a prime in the complex plane, and per chance in quads and above.
A lot of the language and techniques used in the boring 1D space don't work in higher dimensions, and I don't have the prerequisite knowledge to find thesepotential primes in multidimensional spaces.
I wish I could go to school again.
Why does everyone from #twitter come here to complain about twitter?
If twitter/ #x #sucks so much then leave it
If you like one then stick with it, but stop #whining. Dump the platform you don’t want and stick with the one you do
If you’re going to #punish yourself over there, stop complaining.
It’s your choice. Live with it and stop #bitching

I have a couple of 1" bearings that I use as paperweights. I mention this because this morning I needed to check the battery on my infrared thermometer, and they made a convenient target.
In short, I now have documented that the temperature in my office is, indeed, colder than balls.
Admitting up front that a bit of this is just... personal irritation/bitching about fountain pen stuff, so if you're not down for that, feel free to move along.
I follow a bunch of pen accounts on Instagram, and I'm noticing that some of the people who are personal accounts but who have really extensive ink collections have a real attitude about the Inkvent calendar.
And frankly it's harshing my vibe.
I get that not all of these inks are reinventing the wheel. I get that if you spend all your disposable income on ink over a long period of time, and follow a bunch of indie ink-makers and ink sample mailer boxes, when you sign up for the Inkvent calendar from Diamine, you want things that will fill you with awe and wonder because you feel like you've seen it all.
But there is *so much ink* in the world. So much. So much ink that even though I follow pen accounts and even though I have a fairly respectable ink collection myself, I haven't even scratched the surface.
The Inkvent Calendar is new ink to me. I'm excited to be opening it. I'm excited to see new inks that I've not ever seen before. And when every time I open up Instagram there's a bunch of accounts bitching about how today's ink is just a dupe of (some ink company I've never heard of), it's... not all that much fun.
If you don't want the calendar, don't get it. And I'm sure a bunch of those folks won't get the calendar next year and that's fine. But at least one or two of them *went into this calendar* saying that they "just knew" it would all be dupes of things they already had in their collection because (blah blah blah reasons) "just like last year".
And here I am having bought full size bottles of three of the Inkvent 2021 inks because I love them and didn't have anything like them and want to use them all the time.
I get that if you wanted your mind blown, it's fine to be disappointed. But I'm ready to start unfollowing a bunch of accounts that I'd actually really enjoyed for the last several months, simply because I don't want to deal with how much you hate everything about Inkvent. It's okay to say "this is a dupe for" or "this is similar to" some other inks that you have or that you've seen. (And certainly if you're a pen and ink company/retailer, you want to tell people that since a lot of these inks won't ever see full time production.)
But if your whole schtick is to bitch about why today's ink is such a disappointment, a) why are you still doing this to yourself, and b) I am kind of sick of hearing about it.
