Legal setback for ICE 

A Federal judge has ruled that holding inmates beyond their term of imprisonment so that ICE can prepare deportation action is an unconstitutional violation of their 4th Amendment rights thinkprogress.org/immigration-

Oh cool, I started thinking about this at just the right time. The EFF has filed for a DMCA exemption for jailbreaking smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home: eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/eff- (CW: Cory Doctorow)

when Nar presents tum, it isn't a trap--not exactly; he really likes it being petted, as much as he likes being petted (and skritched) everywhere else. he just gets REALLY EXCITE with the petting and sometimes he gets SO EXCITE that there's a little bit of biting or kicking going on. but only a little bit! and then he usually runs away because TOO EXCITE XD

I told it wrong

"There are no operators other than + and -. + always makes numbers go up and - always makes numbers go down. It's basic math."

This is what you sound like if you invoke "basic biology" to justify your transphobia.

meowbeast nicknames 

of course "Nar" is already short for Nyarlathotep, because I feel embarrassed about spelling it out every time I take him to the vet. I have no idea what they think it means.

meowbeast nicknames 

Pooka is "Pookatown" and Nar is "Narcakes." I don't know why. they have other nicknames, but those are the "official" ones. according to me. Spouse doesn't use them, I'm the only one who does, so they're only official for me BUT THEY ARE SO THERE.

remembering how as a kid there were these reconstructions of a hypothetical Troodon descendant - which looked a lot like a Gray Alien.

But of course there ARE intelligent, social, tool-using manaraptoran descendants, and they don't look like that, because they're crows and ravens.

dreams 

did that thing where I "woke up" several times before Spouse opened the door and let the rampaging meow beasts in to wake me up for real. also apparently in my dreams Pooka is a small female kitten, rather than a largish male senior meow beast, which I find amusing and very cute. dream-Pooka is about the size of a Beanie Baby kitten. XD

@fluffy actually, it's not! ねこ ("cat") = ねこま ("cat", obsolete) = にゃ ("sound a cat makes") + こま ("four-legged animal"). In Japanese, a cat is literally a "meow beast".

WoW RPs 

had a fun night tonight--I got to "babysit" a new alt, a level 24 Nightborne, as the RP was taking place in Twilight Highlands and so he smells like DELICIOUS COOKIES to all the hostile mobs. I also got to be effective in-character. these events are fun, if somewhat exhausting. I wish I could do them more often.

I'm looking for work in #webdevelopment/#devops. If you know of a job opening that I might qualify for, or if you need work done in that area on a freelance basis, please let me know.

Here's my resume: github.com/joyeusenoelle/Resum
