  • Use sunscreen if you need it, skin-cancer isn't sexy
  • Protect those eyeballs, seriously
  • ORT: Nothing sexier than staying hydrated
  • You don't need to stay outside, unless you need to stay outside, in which case see above
  • Protect your hair, if you have it - or your head, if you don't. Certain materials breathe, and others trap heat.
  • Pay attention to your body. I once bombed out from heat during an activity, and didn't realize until I was already sick. You don't need exuberance in heat, you can just chill.

I am not fashionable anymore, so I really don't have much else to say. I used to be. I have found holding subtle confidence, you could wear just about anything and still look fine. The power is inside you, and the accessories are just an extension of that eye.

Just a heads up, if you play a lot of Japanese games. I have had incredible trouble playing pretty much any Japanese game that isn't potato-esq since switching to Linux. I figured I'd get that out there. I gave up on playing them, which stinks because there are some very interesting games out there to play. If I can emulate, I do. But anything from Steam would just crash, within 10-20 minutes of playing them.

What does the little NES guy play?

Those little bits of white are killing me! So cute!

Anything here? Not sure, don't have an Android anymore. 10/10 would GraphineOS if I was in the market for a new phone however.

I don't have any suggestions for titles, but I am a geek for a certain type of pet. I found a couple of books about them, and basically it was just by typing in [animal] + [fiction book] into Amazon. This was years back, and idk if it'll help but it's fun to read some little adventure books.

There are certain foods I am helpless against.

Good, because Mononoke is one of the best anime I have ever seen. Bad, because Netflix.

Y, that Mononoke. Not the one people are probably thinking I am thinking.

This for sure was X-Files. My partner got into it recently and that's one of the episodes I saw. Kid was getting messages in the static.

I long for the physical, but am tied to the digital. If you made me open a disk-drive, put a disk in, wait however long it takes to get something running I think I'd pull my hair out nowadays.

So like...idk? But a hundred years back we used FontSquirrel and DaFont. To be honest, you can download a ton of Google Fonts. I am not sure how good they are for print, but for screen they're quite good.

This is the same setup my partner uses and it's very comfy and hyper portable 10/10!
