I stopped studying the cello. I started studying Arabic. I grew up on the other side of the middle of nowhere and am an inveterate urban dweller now. I like mathematics, fountain pens, and TTRPGs. https://sidewalks.meangrape.com

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

That was about six too many gyoza
8 veggie and glass noodle gyoza will do it
How much oatmeal does it take for 350 calories? I’m in the mood for oatmeal. Over a cup of uncooked oatmeal; I’m not that in the mood for oatmeal

The shamash is staying taller than the rest of the candles tonight. Still about 30 minutes of burn time left though

Correction: she is cute
Izzie does some volunteer work as part of her seminary experience. She is walking dogs for senior citizens. Today it is a 4 year old Belgian Malinois. He is cute; I got pictures

I sent Izzie a picture of white rice with butter on it because I knew she would find it amusing (NB not my rice not my butter)

I renamed a bunch of docker images to be more semantically correct because I live the pro-style life. Now I have to rebuild them all, and I will die waiting for them to finish.

Got a call from Izzie at 430am so she could vent. She started with, "I know it's early, but I have to vent." I am the venting parent
