hello personal journal

oh you're not a personal journal you're a mailing list of elite researchers
and techs that has been consistently harassed by strange influences for
decades?

um.  hmm.

okay, I was going to journal about some issues I have engage tech
contributions, that are struggling due to strange influence, but now I feel
bad that I may be harassing the members of this list in doing so.

this is the purpose of my [spam] tags.  is it maybe ok given the [spam]
tag?  maybe a little?

no? you say that some kind of government and corporate surveillance
networks can still somehow use my post to harm the people here?

or you're worried that some people might read my post, even though it is
tagged [spam]?

ummmm

well, I don't want to worry you this way.  i'm really handling a lot of
ashamedness here.

ummmmmmmmm

ummm

there must be some way we can sort this out.  some way I can contribute to
the list rather than harming it?  I mean honestly spamming this list is
_so_ helpful to me.  really very helpful.

a boss? a government agency? no, I don't work for anyone.  you don't
believe me?  you wonder how spamming the list is helpful to me if i'm not
being paid to do so.  ummmm it's hard to talk about that.  you knew I would
say that?

well, maybe i'm not very good at communicating.  i've always been a pretty
poor communicator.  this is really _very_ hard to explain, um ....

honestly I was brainwashed by -- wait, don't go!  where are you going?
omigod are you okay?

come back?  is that blood?

oh!  you're spamming the list too!

do you think by spamming this list we can somehow get code written?  you
can't seem to answer that?  are you sure you're okay?

it's very hard to be forced to spam a list when you think you're working on
software.  let me show you one of my strategies and maybe you can improve
on it.

I mark the time as I try to work on software.

it's 12:52p EDT on 11/4/2021 and there's been a major development in a pull
request I have open in libusb.  unfortunately, my cognitive issues have
been getting in the way of responsibly addressing it.
