Home safe! Time to unpack, cuddle with a cat, and sleep.
And safely in the ground in SJC! Time to hug cats!
Okay, back in the airport! CVG->ATL->SJC go! Love you all! <3

State court lgbtq+ news (++)
Two lgbtq+ sex discrimination cases were affirmed by the Missouri Supreme Court this week! One involves workplace discrimination against an openly gay man, and the other involved public accommodations discrimination against a trans student.
Y'all probably don't have any reason in particular to care about Missouri court cases, but we don't get positive lgbtq+ news around here too often.

Oop, guess I'm headed to Dublin in two weeks!

Petition to stop using the awkward name "double-u" for w and call it "wynn", after the letter ƿ that used to represent that sound in Old English
We can still use the letter w instead of ƿ, because ƿ looks a lot like a p and anyway changing letters is harder than changing names for letters, let's just call it something one-syllable like literally every other letter in the english alphabet

TF trigger ideas
How about...
350mm frame racing quadcopters equipped with tiny auto loading CO2 powered dart guns that administer nanites programed to quickly transform their victims into one of several randomized anthropomorphic animal forms.
All controlled by a TF obsessed AI

Positive pol
A good thing that slipped under my radar; a contingent of New York Democrats want to decriminalize sex work in NY and their bill actually stands a chance

Any #rustlang devs interested in porting the Mastodon streaming API from Node.js to Rust?
We would likely not be able to abandon the Node.js version completely for portability's sake, but there is no reason not to have a more performant drop-in for those who can install it.
The Node.js version consumes about 1GB of RAM for 21k connections.
re: Realization
I guess I just want to say, "Thanks for giving me folks to go home to. <3"
Realization
This is the first time in my life I can really remember missing people, and really know they miss me too.
I've missed people (and kittycats before), but I'm so dumb. This is what being loved feels like.
Hey. I'm stuck in a hotel tonight and bored, but I love you all. <3 Just wanted you to know that. <3

I love this statue, and I've always thought it's the perfect symbol of Welsh rugby. But it has nothing to do with Wales, or rugby - it stands in the Bulgarian city of Varna, and is called Dragons in Love, showing two dragons holding an egg.

Missing my little one a lot today. Been a good (work) trip so far, but I still wish she was here with me.

I think Signal actually works better than the plain-old telephone system for voice calls. Wish I could get more people to switch to it.

Proud teacher moment
The final question on Exam 1 in my physical science class is always "Name an actual living scientist. The scientist can't be fictional, dead, or your professor." (For 0 points)
I was glad to see that many of my students wrote their own names.
