ken burns style letters about WFH, threats of violence to an imaginary cameraperson
My Dearest Dorothy,
Today is the ninth day of working from home. I have forgotten the taste of of the snacks in the cabinet at the office. They say that we are fighting bravely, but truth be told I have not seen the enemy yet. Though we are well-stocked with toilet paper thanks to Providence, our other supplies are running low. I fear we will run out of chocolate-covered almonds completely the next time I get the munchies. Time plays funny tricks and seems to take forever to pass compared to the office, which I sorely miss. It seems now I must take my leave, as it is my turn to beat the cameraperson. They are panning repeatedly across sepia-toned photos, zooming in and out without rhyme nor reason, and we are told that we must belabor them about the head and shoulders with something large and heavy whenever they do this. I shall use my company laptop.
Yours in these Trying Times,
Soreth

WFH update: Thanks to leaving the house mostly to take the dog out, I can't put on socks without Parker getting hyper.

Irreverent guide to USB connectors.
USB-A: The original rectangular one that you always have to turn over twice to fit into the slot. There's one on nearly every USB cable that isn't USB-C.
USB-B: The kinda square one used for every cheap long-abandoned printer ever so there are always a bunch of them in the way whenever another type is desired.
Mini-B: The one with the highest ratio of "confused for Micro-B" to "useful for anything other than last-gen videogame controllers".
Micro-B: Where did all my Micro cables go? Everyone borrows them, nobody returns them!
USB-C: They finally got it right! And with any luck, the cable's the right type and won't fry what it's connected to. The future is bright!

Petition to save a man from death row (boost plz, it's a matter of hours!)
Relaying this reddit post:
"The state of Alabama is poised to execute Nathaniel "Nate" Woods at 6PM local time tonight for the shooting death of three cops that all witness including the convicted gunman say he didn't have anything to do with. You can find the information on the petition website here:
https://www.change.org/p/it-s-not-too-late-to-save-nate-governorkayivey-savenate-readthefacts
But I'm asking you, especially comrades in Alabama, to make phone calls to the governor's office too. I have extreme anxiety over making these kinds of phone calls for some reason and am trying to work up the courage to do it but I'd feel really good if I could get some other people to call too. You can call governor Kay Ivey's office at (334-242-7100). She seems set to murder this man, but maybe we can put the pressure on to help prevent this. Let's show our solidarity with this man, whose life is being threatened by the State."
Pretty sure I'm going to need to refrain from reading anything with a cw: uspol tonight. Maybe even pol in general.
So I've had a snippet stuck in my head for a few days now and it WON'T LEAVE so I'm going to share it here and hope that does the trick.
A Hitch-Hiker's Guide style entry for a world's cultural development, stating "They have yet to progress culturally past New Wave music."
So that's pretty much all the fun weekend plans I had either (a) probably cancelled, or (b) actually canceled.
