T-1:45 'till the journey starts, T-5.5 'till liftoff.

So little time, so much to do!

T-last minute panic.

Which essential item will I forget?

@algernon haircomb!

@wolf480pl well, that stayed home. I guess the three strands of hair I have left will have to be left wild.

T-2 (and a bit) till takeoff.

I have not seen any other masked person yet. More than an hour since I arrived at the airport, and none.

I keep looking for others, to give them a nod, but not seeing amyone.

This is very disappointing, and tbfh, scary.

@algernon you're gonna see me soon! equipped with an OM-90 full face respirator, and a pair of A2B2E2 Hg NOCO20 P3 RD40 filters :3

@alina wild!

I wanted to buy a respirator too, but ran out of time. So ye olde ffp2 or w/e masks for me this time :(

Gate info in ~30 min. Airports are boooooooring.

@algernon for future reference, can recommend

Boring is code for "lets find new ways to exploit the crawlers".

@algernon is there a working group for this yet!

@algernon As a CIS male white dude, I consider being "the one people stare at" because I'm the only mask-wearer to be personal growth experience, however tiny.

@bremner big same!

Except... noone stares here. Its like I'm invisible. I'd feel better if they stared... if igniring masks.is this easy, that's fucked up. :(

@alina not that I know of. Probs 'cos none of us in this space has the capacity to dedicate time to the cause. We just... do things when we can, and feel like it.

I suppose the closest to a WG is to.follow fellow malicious actors on fedi, and borrow their tricks :)

Gate info in 5. Hmm. I will have to phone home before boarding, show the planes to the twins.

Gate located. Aaaaaiming...

Waiting for the gate to open

T-40min

Still haven't seen another mask.

This airport is choke full of idiots.

I guess this is the appropriate time to say that if this mouse falls off the sky, it's been nice knowing you. You know where to leave flowers¹.

Rest assurred, I will continue messing with the crawlers from hell.

Bwaahahaha.

1. if not, read Flowers for Algernon from Daniel Keyes. ↩︎

Boarded W62469

Landed.

The crawlers weren't lucky. This vengeful mouse persists.

But his ears hurt a lot.

Y'know what fixes ear pain?

If you guessed "fucking with crawlers", you know me too well, and I'm too predictable.

@buherator I think I chewed through half a kg of them during the 1h flight :(

They were yummy, and my eardrums didn't blow up, so they helped!

Ngl, browsing logs from the backseat of an uber has its.own kind of badass charm.

Feels like.I'm in a low budget movie.

Oh dear, getting on the AirBnb WiFi was an adventure.

Airbnb has Amazon Prime. I set my language to English. It's showing titles and a bunch of other things in Polish.

I guess I'm taking language lessons!

It also started to play the movie in Polish, but I managed to change that. Yay!

This UX is almost Jellyfin-level!
