@keithdevereux @Billthoo I trained for this in college. I was often working, and for a while I was working 3-6 on Fridays and for a different while I had class from 3-6 on Fridays. I'd get done, eat, look for my friends, they'd all be half-drunk and on their way to their second party by then, nowhere to be found. I'd be like, fine, wander back to my dorm, listen to music, read a book. 🤓

Happy Friday, for everyone who didn't celebrate prematurely. Looking at you, @Billthoo. Don't give me that Round Earther crap.

#mastoadmin hacky tip that works really well for stability and scale - setup a crontab job to restart Sidekiq once a day. It stops the dead 'too many open files' jobs issue and a bunch of other things.

I always look out for the Hellebores marking the arrival of spring and they are usually the first flower I pluck from the garden to help re-enervate my studio practice after a winter devoid of flowers. #FlowersOnFriday #stilllife

And I'm not naive. This is symbolic equal justice. Children accused of petty theft sit in jails for months. Kids at protests get arrested for being "mouthy" -- now and then an innocent man is killed by the state for someone else's crime. Who are the people who are so consistently failed? Not the mighty, not the wealthy, not the well-connected. But, if we can fingerprint a former president. Maybe there is a little hope for those words not sounding so hollow. 3/3

As a professional writer, I am avoiding any and all use of ChatGPT. First, because that stuff is trash. Second, because it's non-copyrightable and very possibly full of plagiarized material and could undermine my own rights over my own work if I used it. Third, because I'm a damn writer, and I'm here to write, not to prompt a machine to generate bullshit for me. Fourth, see first.
Had my first real chat with the great stochastic parrot in the sky while waiting for my kid. Topics tonight: All geeky stuff, nothing enlightening or soul-crushing.

@GossiTheDog Thanks for breaking my heart even more. What does it say that we'd probably have nationwide protests for TikTok but not abuses by law enforcement or school shootings.

My sister called me out of the blue this evening, on a day that I really needed to hear a loved voice. Dad used to tell me to call her when he knew she was having a bad day, and somehow he made a way to have her call me today. Almost an affirmation that those we love who have left us aren’t really gone after all. ♥️

Mistook being wealthy for fame.

And he set half his fortune aflame.

From the bike lane opponents' newsletter, talking about the city council meeting where they want people to show up to oppose bike lanes: “If you can bike or walk to the venue (it’s on Addison near Bonar), please do that, since parking will be at a premium.” I HAVE EXPIRED 💀💀💀
