Journi's adventures...and misadventures. My obsessions usually run to homesteading, gardening, & minimalism

Less than 100 Craptocode left...

Whatever will I do with myself when I finish but classes haven't started yet?

(Probably catch up on housework and maybe start into my textbooks.)

The phrase "They don't want it perfect, they want it Friday" does wonders for my productivity.

I tell this story all the time but I'll tell it again! When I taught kindergarten full time, we had a working bee one weekend where we did a bunch of gardening/landscaping in the outdoor area. One of the dads put up a bit of fencing, then stood back and had a look, kind of frowning like he wasn't sure. His wife then came along, and the following conversation ensued:

Wife: GETMO? Husband: (after a moment, with a sigh) Yeah, GETMO. Me: GETMO? Wife and husband, in perfect unison: Good Enough To Move On

Absolutely LIFE CHANGING acronym, friends and enemies.

My mom might have had a mini stroke. She's doing okay, but has had some concerning symptoms. She's still in the hospital, so we'll find out more as test results come in.

MRI confirmed that she did have a stroke.

This is the song that plays in my head when I'm in a good mood.

I think I broke a toe again. On the positive side, it matches my toenail polish. 😂

Just passed the three-quarters point on Crappycode! Only 150 more to go, but I'm about to get to the advanced cases.

I'm sorry there's no magic in this post I'm just talking. I hope good stuff happens to people online I hope good things happen to all of us

In case you're wondering why the earth is experiencing 1000-year floods, stronger hurricanes, longer droughts, wildfires...

Global warming. It's undeniable.

We are literally in climate change hot water now.

Just put baby Leaf of Life plant (grown from leaf margin) in its own soil.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

Passed the halfway point on Crap-to-code!

I am on my last spoonful of Citron Honey Tea from the Asian grocery store. Since it's five hours away, I can't get there anytime soon.

Google says I can try the following:

I will get the real stuff as soon as possible, but I'm hoping this will be a tolerable substitute meanwhile.

Occasionally, I might lay on the ground in existential despair first, but I do get up again.
