Seems like something to listen to again today. I’m still annoyed at my 21-year-old self for swallowing #SupersizeMe so uncritically. Just…hook, line, and sinker.
I do hope Spurlock found some peace toward the end, and I hope his loved ones are doing okay. 53 is wrenchingly young.
I’m the kind of recently-thawed Neanderthal who’s always resisted understanding anything about the technology I use every day; I retain an atavistic certainty that the monitor IS the computer.
Despite these, uh, endearing eccentricities, I just asked @jdekg to put the #Linux on my computer. I think it’s time.
I still refuse to understand anything, but the thing I refuse to understand will now be Linuxy instead of Windowsy.
Can't wait until I get done with work, fill out my primary ballot, drop it off, go to the grocery store, claim a fast-food drive-thru experience, then finally return home so I can hobby hack and watch horror.
Lotta inchoate thoughts and feelings rolling around in my skull: about Christianity and syncretism and witchcraft, community and fellowship and worship, prayer and magic.
I’m too tired to work these up into coherent points of any kind, but my brain is very full. (In a nice way!)
Today is Pentecost, and church was wonderful. Lively, joyous, beautiful—our pastor preached on unscattering the scattered. There were two baptisms! Many of us wore red. The Holy Spirit was present. 🕊️
And tonight we attended a Beltane + Litha lesson and ritual at the occult shop, led by the very kind Divine Warrior Witches. It was also wonderful, and I think the Holy Spirit was with us and among us there too.
@onelson oh hell yeah, that sounds rad. 🔥 This was more of an in-a-basement thing with sharing feelings and playing with clay and hearing about upcoming astronomical events, though we did dance in a circle. Relatively subdued but very good vibes.
Gonna work late to try and wrap up this one thing I've been working on all week long. Would love to have something happy to report at standup tomorrow instead of just sweating and apologizing.
I wonder if I'll have enough room for a Batman movie. I will probably make room.
Feeling drained and the rescue for me will probably be the garlic breadsticks I'm going to have with my shrimp linguini. I don't really care about the frozen pasta bag, but I am excited about breadsticks.
