finished The Body Keeps the Score this morning and man my whole body aches now

got tired of not being able to wear hats, bought more fantasia

ugh tried to do advent of code catchup today and realized why I haven't been able to make any progress while coding non-work stuff

at work I have patterns I can model after and I trust my teammates, but elsewhere I get paralyzed by anxiety that I'm going to do something that isn't as pythonic as it could be and someone's going to lay into me about how horrible all my code is

I wanted to stream this year but I think I need to tackle this part of the fear first

phew, home, with my computer back

a week is just about the right amount to relax and then be very glad to be home again

bought a book of logic puzzles the other day and man, they are painfully heterosexual

relatedly, alfalfa wine is actually pretty good?

American Thanksgiving, but this year all the drinks are from BC and Alberta and we're making poutine with the leftover gravy later :P

this was interesting to read after hearing my mom mention her observations of the popularity (and perceived hopelessness) of leftism in Hong Kong

(caveat: I am extremely leery of holding up Scandinavian countries as shining good examples - two reasons that come to mind being continued repression of the Sámi people and the Nordic model wrt sex work)

TIL redis will happily let you put emoji in key names

(they might also just not realize they're taking on more than they may be able to handle yet, but the emails meetup sends me of new pdx groups are usually full of bitcoin and other capitalist/libertarian crap)

on the one hand I feel like I should go, on the other hand I am utterly unimpressed by this person starting remote work meetup groups for every single part of the Portland metro area at once

like, what, are you getting paid for this? is this trying to sell some shit? cause I sure as hell don't know anyone who has the time to run separate meetups in all five quadrants of Portland plus fucking Tigard and Beaverton

doing Important Things™️ with my work laptop

I think spotify finally took the hint that I only want Canadian stuff on this station https://youtu.be/un3xVgQg-EY

in conclusion borders and racism suck and I'm going to bed
