A thing (well, a set of things, it's something like 2 dozen SKUs) I designed just got a UL listing for the first time, so that's exciting. Not my first time working with UL, but first time something that I've taken all the way from concept to a manufacturable product has been UL listed.

The only difference between weeks is whether my batteries hold up. It's overall an ongoing shitshow with every offer of work and temporary housing ending up in ghosting.

I discovered beehaw (bee-y'all?) this week while learning about some lefty DIY group alternatives to big tech, howdy! migrating away from Microsoft and Google - using Fedora on my computer now which is also what I used back in high school - and it's been a pretty enriching time sink as I continue job searching and seeking new community. looking forward to spending some time here 🎶

The depression hasn't come back yet.
It's a relief!

still riding out my burnout but otherwise good. i'm going to a birthday party for a friend shortly, starting off my week by reading Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez.
my week is all about planning to start a local Working Families Party group and preparing a series of campus teach-ins as a protest against new policy re: gender in the classroom. fueled by dense bean salad. lots of dense bean salad.

Well, my salary just went in, so I started paying my bills. Just now, I renewed my monthly public transit pass, and I am pretty much debt free - until next month, that is.

I'm back! Sort of. I spend way too much time on bsky these days, although it's not looking so rosy anymore. Also, I'm trans and kobold now and it fucking rocks!

A bunch of small wins at work, so that's nice. A bunch of anti-human behavior from the disgusting ghouls who run things, so that sucks.

Not so nice: Yesterday I had my first really bad headache from muscle tenseness in the neck. It felt like I would fall unconscious if I stood up. And according to my wife, that's the kind of headache she has every couple of weeks, which is very...unfortunate.
More nice: I am making more progress in Dyson Sphere Program than I ever did before and currently I still have the motivation to stick with that game until I turned most of the cluster of solar systems into factories.
Nice with an asterisk: In two weeks I will start my new job at a very nice company with great conditions. The asterisk is because it means I will have less free time, naturally.
Still haven't found a new job. Many more "sorry we loved your vibe but we found someone more experienced" to add to my resume tho.
it's rough out there, I'm sorry you're going through that 🫂 I've been job hunting too since finishing grad school. hoping for some good news for us soon!
Best of luck to you!
Enjoy that problem while you can! Soon enough, it'll be "we loved your vibe, but you have too much experience, and we only have the budget for entry-level."
