Intro to me. I’m Janie. I used to do Swift development, but I have been taking some time to learn C++ so I can build game engines and do low level rendering. I don’t have any current tech projects to talk about so I mostly talk about my pugs and my crafting projects to avoid going insane.

Noting here that a minority of Quakers have attempted tax resistance as a form of protest, there is a procedure, it works best for the self-employed, it requires putting the tax into escrow (no, you can’t just keep the money) & it still ends up going to trial as tax evasion.
Proceed with caution.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

"Well, what shall we hang? The holly, or each other?"
Now that's a Christmas movie.
From 'The Lion in Winter' (1968).
With the brilliant Katharine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole

I went to empty the dishwasher and found to my horror that it didn’t actually run. So now I have a sink full of dirty dishes and a machine full of dirty dishes. 😭

Remembering my last Christmas with Olive and Delia before they passed. We’re trying to make new memories with the new pugs. It’s good to make memories.

Had I been born earlier I could have been an animation cell inker and painter. It looks so soothing. You need so much attention to detail and fine motor skills. I am cursed to hobby needlework.

I’m showing my husband the old 90’s X-Men cartoon and he was way too tired to mentally cope with the Mojo Vision episode.

My tiny gripe is the existence of terrible versions of things that can be delicious if made correctly. Everyone recoils from my homemade eggnog with real cream and premium liqueur because they assume it’s the same as grocery store eggnog and they judge me for liking it. 😭

This is the sort of contract that if you were entertaining signing it, your friends should smash through a window, do roll on the floor, leap up in a feral pounce and slap it out of your hands
Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...
