Reading with my kids in two languages gives me a new appreciation for words and their origins.

We looked at the names of the planets in Chinese. Mercury through Saturn has carries the names of the 5 elements. "Water star" = Mercury etc.

Then Uranus and Neptune are Sky Lord Star, and Ocean Lord Star respectively. Which matches with the Greek god theme.

So I suspected that the first 5 were named independently pre lots of interaction between East and West and the last two, logically, were discovered much later and named in after some level of discourse with each other.

I shared this observation with family at breakfast and that led into discussion about how they justified heliocentricity with epicycles.

I really hope these random conversations gets them interested into the historical aspect of things. I find it so interesting. We looked up discovery dates of the planets even.

May your long weekend be filled with random!

This is one of my favorite things (well... two if you count the quilt...)
A friend of mine gifted this to me when I moved back to Oregon during the pandemic. I consider it my journaling or writing keyboard. I like a fuller keyboard for work, but this one really speaks to my soul. I love the personality and quirkiness.

A picture of a mechanical keyboard with a wooden base and the keys are mismatched and different colors.

平常再忙也會塗鴉,但自從二月中家裡發生變故後,動筆的勇氣彷彿也一起被火化了。

為了讓自己好過一點,強迫自己運動了一陣子,慢慢拉回正常的步調。

小站的氣氛很舒服自在,讓我重新思考自己與社群的關係。

終於在兩個月後,乳齒象像是暗示般,給了我一個溫暖的夢。

federation challenge: how does this work?

i made a post (note) on my wordpress account. its enabled with activitypub, and thus gets send out to the fediverse. My wordpress account gets followed by a Discourse forum. Someone on the Discourse forum replies with a note. I open the wordpress article with my main mastodon account. I see the discourse reply. I want to react, but with my personal mastodon account.

之前有說過,我發公開嘟的原因就是想要建立自己的信仰跟價值體系,所以我認為我應該要先從勇敢發聲開始,在這個誰都不認識我的平台上,忠誠的把自己放上來,盡力擺脫他人的束縛。

但有時也總是會擔心,我的文章是否對大家來說過於沉重?會不會造成別人困擾?

雖然這些問題滿蠢的,自己也想得出一套可以說服自己的說詞,但總還是會過不去(努力克服中)

I had a conversation today at work and someone said “No one under 35 knows what BSD is”.

Let see how that works in here:

(35th birthday + 1 second is over 35.)

Feelings about corporations, consumerism, and the higher ed industry aside, I love seeing headlines like these.

"In the 24 hours after Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76 announced that he would not comply with the White House, the University received more than 3,800 online donations totaling more than $1 million"

One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When they first went missing, we revoked their repository access as a precaution. We soon learned their disappearance was completely unrelated to GrapheneOS. Our priority has been keeping them safe.

I could confront either person involved, but I really don't have the time or the spoons to argue with someone whether or not invasive thoughts and wild speculation are adequate justification to go and give everyone you can find a panic attack.

I just wasted my entire lunch break trying to find a supporting news story to verify a very worrying hot take boosted by someone I generally trusted to not spread provocative misinformation, and now I trust that person a bit less to not spread provocative misinformation.

我在建構語言的時候,才能建構自己。
才可以開始「思考」
即使大多數時候思考方向可能不是我要的。

有時候,我總會想這是否是一種生存機制。

我不知道該怎麼請求,只知道自己處理。
因為我是這樣長大的

我沒有家人、沒有常識,沒有錢,沒有過過現今社會預設值的生活,很多人也跟我一樣。
上大學前我一直是活著
上大學後,我開始想要存在

因為我的病,嚴重到我不得不發覺它了。
我吃藥、我諮商、我看、我聽、我學。

但我的價值觀是社會,我的標準也是社會,我的自我價值還是社會。
我在乎的人,與我自己會一直落入價值、貢獻、生產力、行動的泥沼之中。

當我覺得我進步時,我無法允許自己這樣覺得。
因為我沒有「真正」的進步。

我不知道其他的方法。
但我好想改變
我也在努力改變

我的身體狀況變好一點了。
我更能精準的判讀別人的意思與潛藏的意識形態。
更願意去表達自己了。
也更願意,在利益衝突的情況下,捍衛自己的價值及權益了。

所以寫下來,證明苦痛存在,我存在,我在前進。
