every day I wake up and think "what can I buy that will bring me happiness today" and the answer is always the same: nothing. Donating, on the other hand, is incredibly satisfying.

This is the vibe for this morning: an instrumental kitchen sink full of everything from Latin to metal to fusion, played by virtuoso musicians with a murderous sense of humor and a beautiful feel for melodies & grooves.

Every time a story does not
lock the door on pronouns, asks
'what someone--maybe even you--would like
to be called, a little grain of
happiness drops into my chest. Someday these grains will
make a meandering mountain, growing
fertile in the kindly rain.
Someday, I will
stop noticing each grain fall in their myriad.
Someday no one will try to puncture my smile with
grumpy, toxic words. For now
the stories keep
the door unlocked. The grains
keep falling. I smile. #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt #WSS366

About life and feelings, gloomy and private
The feelings we get from the activities we do could be classified as neutral, positive and negative.
Let's take developing #Gentoo as an example. It's something that makes me happy — but you can't (or at least I can't) just get the happiness and reject everything else. Most of the Gentoo work is basically neutral, even bland — a duty that takes a lot of time and effort, and probably a little of your health. It's statistically probable that you're going to get some positive feelings out of it — the joy of success, satisfaction, appreciation, awareness that you've done something good. But you also get negative feelings — from failures, frustration, negative interactions.
My hiking trips are like that too. My family believes that "I do it for pleasure" — but it's a harmful oversimplification and it only tells me that they even aren't trying to understand me. In fact, it's mostly a necessity, a way of solving specific problems that works for me — halting diabetes-related problems, coping with emotions. Of course there's a positive side to it — good mood, energy to survive another day, something the joy of visiting a new place, seeing something beautiful, finding a solution to a vexatious problem, positive interactions with people. But there are also negative feelings — anger and sadness from failure, stress from problems, negative contacts with people. Sometimes you end up slowly charging your social battery for a whole week, just to have one person destroy it all.
If you think about it, life's something like that. It's mostly a bland effort to survive every following day, sometimes interspersed with positive or negative moments.

Measuring Non-Typical Emotions for Mental Health: A Survey of Computational Approaches
Analysis of non-typical emotions, such as stress, depression and engagement is less common and more complex compared to that of frequently discussed emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and anger. The importance of these non-typical emotions has been increasingly recognized due to their implications on mental health and well-being. Stress and depression impact the engagement in daily tasks, highlighting the need to understand their interplay. This survey is the first to simultaneously explor…
