Went for a walk around 10:00PM the other night and the reflected city lights on the clouds made it almost seem like it was a lot earlier in the day.
I think this might be my favorite lighting of any photo I've taken, even though it was a totally found scene.

Every one of you is precious and wonderful and unique and necessary and deserving of life and love and peace.
Anything your brain does to try to convince you otherwise is a mean trick.
Please try to remember this. Remember it unceasingly.

As a music listener, the thing Bandcamp Friday did for me was give me a fixed reminder to actually budget for and purchase music I enjoy instead of putting it off or being complacent about using streaming services.

This was an amazing way to end the week. #HIRIE played a show for our office via WebEx and it was a perfect transition to the weekend. Seeing coworkers & their families grooving along put such a big smile on my face.
If anyone is looking for a way to wind down, you can’t go wrong tuning in.
Music lyrics, smoking (drug use)
🎶 Cause I mess up the time
Mess up on the rent
Messing up the moments
Where life’s got me spent
I just wanna go home
Crawl straight into bed
And catch up on the sleep
that I never get
Apologies, don't offer them
Or bother me, no, not for anything
Just load the bowl,
And fill my cup,
Accept the fact I’m messed up🎵

Maybe I’ve not been saying it loudly or frequently enough for the last however-many years…
Privacy is not a luxury.
Same with accessibility. Neither are luxuries, they’re life-sustaining rights. And you’re unusually privileged if you’ve not had to care about either.

While I wasn't able to get #patchwork running on my new machine (and honestly I didn't try that hard), it looks like #oasis installed super easily, so now I can look around the #scuttleverse and finally use #SecureScuttlebutt / #ssb on my own.
Libro.fm, provider of #DRMFree #AudioBooks and contributor to funding local #bookstores, is reaching out to current owners of Ibram X. Kendi’s _How to Be an Antiracist_ with a coupon code to provide an additional copy to share with others
“NOTES: The author will still receive royalties, as Libro.fm is paying for this copy of their audiobook”

One more reason I’m so much happier supporting #LibroFM rather than #Audible and #Amazon
If you recently received your @PINE64 #PineBookPro with the recent batch and were saddened to see the #FoldingAtHome package in @ManjaroARM isn’t working, don’t dismay!
#BOINC & #RosettaAtHome are both available via Pamac and now support protein folding on #ARM devices. You can help contribute toward solving #COVID19 and other biomedical problems! There’s even a https://hackers.town team, too (currently in the Top 25% tier!) https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/team_display.php?teamid=18992

Good advice from our neighborhood

I love it when two posts in my timeline come together to send a combined message
So... I didn't expect or plan on going down the rabbit hole of "learn how to be a professional wrestler" youtube videos this evening... but some of this is just general well delivered professional and life advice
