I'm sorry your laziness is in direct conflict with maintaining a compliance record of the changes made... Oh, wait, I am *NOT* sorry.

Yup, went to bed after 2 this morning, and my body woke me up at 4:30 as usual. Finally thinking about getting out of bed to do all the Sunday things.

I've been finding inspiration to code on personal projects recently. I miss that feeling of wanting to work on a project and having the energy.
However, I didn't miss the "I blinked, and it is now 2 am" as a result of the focus.
But I'm making progress on rehydrating my home lab.

Damn right, I'm a KANT. And, now, I have the membership card to prove it.
Update: This neo-völkisch neo-pagan turnip who insists he isn't racist has been posting essays demanding that Facebook punish me for being mean to neo-Nazis.
Awkwardly for him, he's gotten supportive comments from folks cheering on hate for immigrants, liberals, Muslims, etc.

If your entire party/group/movement is based on hate, then you shouldn't be surprised when it "fractures and falls apart."
Movements based on building up and include tend to linger and maintain relevance.

I picked up Shadow's remains from the vet. I started crying when the bag with her box, paw print, and the unexpected fur clipping was handed to me.
I then picked up Mana from boarding. She knows the bag brings me sadness. Mana has been consoling me since we got home.
My girls are the best.

I guess the universe had a "hold my beer" moment and dialed it to eleven... As I was already feeling sad because Shadow wasn't trailing behind me while doing house work.
Apparently, my mom's cell service didn't "store and resend" the messages from last week. She just directly asked about Shadow because I was only messaging about Mana to her questions about tday. All the feelings are bubbling up: sick, sad, guilt, and depressed. And I am low-key crying.

Love being reminded that shitty people don't only come from outside, but within our own community as well
Choosing to put down someone based on how they identify makes you a dipshit
