I really like it for note taking, especially if I’m trying to design some piece of software (which I keep open in a neighboring window). I use spacemacs because it sets up basically everything I personally want from an editor. Also gives you the choice between Emacs and vim keybinds, in case you have some preference 😊 It has a decent beginners guide too if you don’t mind reading documentation

Noooooooooooo

Started hormones and feel great 😊 Funny how quickly my depression evaporated. Literally within hours of my first dose. I guess some of it could be excitement, but it really does feel like things taste better, I emote more, and I generally feel more ownership of my life 🥰

I think the biggest part of enjoying it black is whether the beans are any good. I’m not sure drinking more black coffee will necessarily make you like it more. Plus, there’s nothing wrong with adding other stuff :)

I hope your appointment goes well! I’m so happy for you :) I just use an electric razor so I can’t give any advice there

Weirdly, it’s made me much less afraid to come out to people too. This is just who I am and you can be in my life or not 😅 Thank you for all your support 💜

I usually make drip coffee and drink it black :) I like espressos too, which I also enjoy without anything extra, but I usually don’t gravitate to it because I drink like a fish 😬 espresso does not last long and I get overcaffeinated, lose-lose lol.

Also I am living as a nonbinary woman now and it feels good! Keep seeing myself in the mirror at stores and getting euphoria. Shaved my legs finally and got a huge rush from seeing them “as they should be” 🥰 Relationship stuff is hard, but we are working through it 💜 They have been buying me flowers and helping me pick out new clothes and jewelry 💜💜💜

Being out is weird. Being referred to as a woman is weird. I love all this but have to remind myself frequently that I’m not dreaming. Life is good, even though it’s still hard.

Up with trans

I came out as trans this past weekend and then had one of the best weekends of my life 🙂 Lots of work ahead still, but that feels like the hardest part behind me 🥳

All Stars are cute as hell 🥰 That’s also on my shopping list (hopefully the thrift gods will help me out)

Been feeling great putting together outfits lately, but my shoe game is so weak 😭 Wearing my flowy alternative summer diva outfit paired with Tims was not the look. Gotta get me some chunky bratz sandals. I still felt fantastic once the shoes came off though 🙂

I am sure I’ll be hoping it was sometime soon 😬 My fear was I’d lose clarity, like I’m making it all up because I’m depressed. I am much less depressed now but still have the clarity 😎

Nonbinary life has been going well. I was kind of worried that my dysphoria was tied to my seasonal depression, but actually I can still see it pretty clearly now. I guess that inner work is paying off. That is good progress even though it sounds like bad news lol

Hope you all are safe and well

Great post, I’ve shared this with a few comrades. Thanks for expanding my view!

A question for you: what are your thoughts on this energy transition with respect to data centers? Specifically, Trump announced a policy proposal which mentioned data centers will be allowed to produce their own electricity (which they can also sell back to the grid if they want). The U.S.'s rotting infrastructure was not designed in the first place to deliver consistently high loads to a single place. Solar and wind probably can’t provide all the electricity needed for these operations, but it may at least offset some of the strain on local power grids. Are data centers the new rural manufacturing plants?
