Identity is a construct. Identify however you wish to be identified. You will be judged by and perceived as the identity people inevitably assign to you, regardless of how you self identify. Hopefully it matches. Maybe it won’t.

Mostly, just try to be okay with yourself. Be a decent human and people will generally be okay with you.

I’m a “discord admin” too! Nuts!

Your first step might be finding someone who can mentor you and help you and teach you a bit. Someone with patience and who is caring.

To be honest though, it sounds like some good therapeutic council would do you very well and bring quality of life.

I mean, time-travel stories typically involve traveling by way of some mechanism be it a spell, wormhole, tear in spacetime and etc. The end goal is usually traveling from one point to another with a purpose. Characters can travel back and forth. Everyone usually remembers each encounter.

Time-loops, like in Groundhog’s Day or Edge of Tomorrow, usually cause people to get “stuck.” Some plot device is then introduced to eventually “unstick” them. Only the people stuck in the loop are usually aware that anything is happening.

And this was how I learned that Video Station is no longer supported by Synology. If you want the updates, you’ll have to uninstall it.

Seriously though, what is x.com and the x app? I just followed the link to google play and it seems’ish like it’s just the twitter microblog, but I’m seeing things mentioned that I didn’t think are part of twitter. I’ve never used twitter or any x products, so I’m actually in the dark.

I’m pretty sure that “x, formerly known as twitter” is the name of the company. So… forever.

Angela posted a video that’s only 19 minutes? 😁

Incredible! 😁

Perhaps not an actual reclassification since, until now, all two letter TLDs have been exclusively for countries. But for the right price, I imagine convincing them to maintain the two character TLD… for “posterity” … and… “backwards compatibility”…

coughs, clears throat, and pushes 💰 across the table

…would make sense.

😏

Corporations with loads of money will ensure that this domain will simply get reclassified.

tldr?

The Guardian article nailed it, thanks!

It doesn’t cite exactly where they got the Greenpeace photo from, but I found it here: https://media.greenpeace.org/archive/Climate-Impact-Documentation-in-Norway--Svalbard-27MZIF4WNED.html

Climate Impact Documentation in Norway, Svalbard Greenpeace documentation showing that glacier “Blomstrandbreen” has retreated nearly 2 km since 1928, with an accelerated rate of 35 metres lost per year since 1960 and even higher in the past decade. In the image, view of climate campaigner Truls Gulowsen on a speed boat going to a mine in Longyearbyen.

A bit more from the Guardian article:

Greenpeace activists visited the glacier last weekend on the Rainbow Warrior taking pictures from the same locations to highlight the effects of global warming, which the group says is a threat to the future of the planet.

The Blomstrandbreen glacier has retreated by one and a quarter miles since 1928, according to Greenpeace. It was shrinking by 115ft a year in the 1960s, a rate which has risen.

Recent studies carried out by US researchers and reported in Science last month said that 85% of the glaciers they examined had lost vast portions of their mass in the last 40 years.

Keith Echelmayer of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, who has carried out research into Alaska’s ice streams and checked glacier thickness, said: “Most glaciers have thinned several hundred feet at low elevation in the last 40 years and about 60 feet at higher elevations.”

A reverse image search revealed to me that there are a hell of a lot of copies of this image around the internet, but I can’t seem to find any papers that provide background. I’m going to have to look again later, but if there’s any other internet sleuths out there interested in figuring out the origins of these photos with reputable explainers, I would love to know more about this.

I’m always afraid of things like this that seem to confirm my biases without associated information to back it…

Sad truth. 🫤

It was honestly interesting reading up on these creatures. It’s an absolute shame they are lost to us. Turns out there were penguins in the north after all!

Super cute. My partner crocheted a similar style bag for myself a couple years ago. I love it. 💜
