   I started doing accessibility at GitHub when it had a flat structure (2013) and no one was telling me what to do. In my free time I will just browse the issue backlog and find things I could do. Eventually, I found that there are tons of accessibility issues that are just stale, and a lot of them were just like: this icon button isn’t labeled. I looked at them and thought oh that’s easy. I will fix it.

   At one point I added so many aria-labels that AT users got mad that they’re getting misused.

   Looking at archived #multicast projects from the 1990s. I feel a little sad.

   All these projects with different distributed use cases for multicast.

   It's not just for streaming.

   I wish some of the folks who worked on these projects were on the fediverse.

   #librecast wants to bring back multicast. We want to do more with it.

   At it's heart multicast is networking with consent. From the very fact it is pub/sub

   Hidden Meme

   Everything for this day, from this point on, unless otherwise specified, was written two days later!

   My Side-Effects from the Event

   12:30-13:10 Panic Attack
   12:30-15:30 Severe Disorientation
   12:30-15:30 Nausea
   12:30-15:30 Sense of Time being weird
   12:30-15:30 Hyperfocus
   12:30-15:30 Hypersensibility
   12:30-15:30 Constantly Distracted / not focused
   12:30-14:30 Not able to speak / finish sentences
   12:30-15:30 Less impulse control
   12:30-15:30 Long thinking breaks
   13:15-14:00 Felt like a Hamster
   
   After the mentioned ending times of each side effect (except for the panic attack), the effect continued, but decreased throughout the day. At 17:30, it felt 80% as strong as 12:30 when everything started. By the next morning (of 009) I didn't feel hungover, I felt the effects 30% as strong as when it started.
   

   Content Warning: Mentions of Needles, and mentions of drug related medical stuff (hospitals, panic attacks, etc.)My Notes for the Event

   First of all, yes, the “I am currently having a panic attack” post was made during a panic attack. My initial response after calming down a small amount, lying on my bed, surrounded by doctors going all around, was look at my phone to “calm down”, however I got the sudden urge to post to Mastodon about this. It was a (working) distraction.

   I don't quite understand what my goal of the “Gigachad” meme was, or why I put it there. I just suddenly thought of that image in my head and couldn't stop laughing, as if it was the best joke I've ever heard. I don't even know what this is supposed to mean, it's “based” to have a panic attack? “but I'm posting on Mastodon despite all this” mindset? Where was the joke here? I guess it was the juxtaposition of something so serious paired with an image giving off more meme vibes.

   Regardless, that same day, when things calmed down, the physician (often presented as the highest authority on the study) asked me to E-Mail him an exact description of my experience. Whilst still high and recovering from it, I've written the following text for over an hour! I have titled some segments to make it easier to read through...

   How and When Everything Happened

   At around 11:00 AM, when I was sitting in the study room, I noticed larger side effects than usual (higher dizziness, more nausea). I just finished a work meeting (which started 10:00 AM), with zero side effects or weird feelings.

   The dizziness slowly came and got stronger, but I ignored it or didn't care to notice it, because I've had softer versions of these side effects the days before and it was never a big deal. After day one of the compound, the side effects completely vanished for me, which is in a stark contrast to my colleagues who have experienced quite strong symptoms of “being high” just the day prior. I would make a few more slip ups during my work because of this feeling, but I didn't think much of it.

   At exactly 12:30, my mother had sent a picture of our cats into the family group chat. This was the moment where a large wave of this effect hit me. I looked at the picture of cats and was both concentrated and distracted from the image, that I didn't even feel anything around me disappearing. If it wasn't in my immediate vision, it was simply not part of my reality. Some impulse driving me to continue working got ahold of me, so wanted to turn back to my laptop.

   To be continued

   @CharlotteEowyn Mira had to take down the print copies after the government threatened her social security that she survived on (not that she was ever breaking and laws), so its never been reinstated but theres a possibiliy theres going to be a new run shortly, the queer print team behind the project are looking into if they can figure out the financials for it.

   At the moment its only digital and second hand copies out there im afraid.

   @inthehands @grimalkina all the people in higher education who are good at teaching, but hate doing research, are at the community college level teaching people who need it.

   At the university level you can get away with bad pedagogy because you can always wave your hand and say "oh well I suppose some people just aren't cut out for the rigors of academia" when students ask for clarification on your syllabus.

   It makes zero sense to me why, if someone replies to a post by me, and I subsequently block that person, the reply is hidden from _me_, but not from other persons looking at my post.

   Like, what the fuck #Mastodon, let me moderate bad actors out of _my_ threads! This is completely unacceptable and I don't see how there could be any technical reason for it.

   At least my own instance should know that this person is blocked by me and shouldn't display their replies in its web frontend.
