We did manage to get a couple of pics from Saturday evening in Red Bluff, CA. The show lasted but maybe 30-40 minutes. Not nearly as long as Friday. But it was still exciting.

Yes “Treering,” I’m sure you think it’s important to remind us to order yearbooks for a school my son hasn’t been at for two years. But I literally loathe the principal, who kept ignoring my son’s , so much I’ll just block you, laugh, and vent some.

My current world order, where my morning and overnight schedule has largely shifted to accommodate a crazy early start to get kiddo ready for alternate school pickup, has resulted in my not being up as late at night as I used to be.

What I’ve realized is this seriously impacts my productivity. I’m way more productive at quiet times in mg day, and now my working time is constrained to when others are around. This sucks.

I’m very glad this alternate placement has worked for my son, and is serving to help him prepare to transition back to regular school site. But to say I’m eager for the transition to occur is an understatement. I will be very glad to be back in a position where I can be more productive again and try and focus on more self-care.

It’s easy to forget the changes we make to help our kids sometimes hurt us.

There was a while when all the and magic made me hopeful that spell check was improving. But lately it’s utter crap. If you can’t do that or Siri properly then what is all that neutral goodness for…?

@kristoff I keep hearing that but if it’s one thing techbros like it’s more. More data. More revenue. More banning of apps doing the same thing they are. More power.

Given the opportunity they totally want a super-app. They just want it, and all those users’ data and dollars, to be theirs.

I have to admit I generally enjoy slack. But in any community there are going to be assholes. One thing I dislike about Slack is the inability to or people. Yes some of them utterly deserve it, and I don’t think I should have to tolerate their virtriol in the normal course of my day.

So instead I must manually stop myself from reading their words and absorbing their attitude. Because if I speak out about then I’m the jerk.

So exhausting. Be better, .

Waiting while my son has his piano lesson. Enjoying some jazz piano. But the child trying to sing needs a little less jazz in their vocals. My ears actually hurt. And that’s from behind a closed door. Yikes. Do these teachers get hazard pay?

Sleep deprivation is real, even for someone who generally only needs 5 hours an evening. Forgive my downer sentiments this morning. This should have been a day I just stayed in bed a few hours after school pickup.

That said, my teeth feel shiny and sparkly. And I’m glad we had our panel dry t today. Feedback completely altered it from super detail scheduled class to utterly open and lots of a personal journey and discussion. Mysbe the Rey will become educational clips!

In case you're not following our blog (gasp!), our Rust developers have the technical details on how we're using the language to bring in native Exchange support in the latest post.

So if you're a fan of all things Rust and email protocols, and you want to know what we've done so far and what's coming next, give it a read - and come to our office hours all about Rust and Exchange tomorrow at 16:00 UTC!

@thunderbird My biggest curiosity isn’t as much about Rust as whether the Graph API is going to be universally supported this round. That’s bigger measure of overall Exchange compatibility these days, especially for O365.

Both excited and stressed about an this week. Kind of an irony alert given I’m excited to participate but also stressed at all the preparation. So much focus on getting it “right.”

I have to admit I prefer a format that just lets participants speak on a subject freehand and take questions after. Too much stresses me out.

Having ideas and a desire to help is a sort of kryptonite for me. I live to serve and help but I don’t have the spoons, energy, et al to do it all. I need a cohort of body doubles. It’s not that I fancy myself a manager or director, but I’m just not enough for all the doing.

I’m looking forward to being in an Autism panel next week. And helping arrange caregiver events in May. The burnout risk is real and triggers negative self-thoughts.

I chuckle at the very idea that therapy has to be survived. And yet that’s exactly what a lot of us do. Crazy.

“S.O.S.” by Allie Sisk

A friend shared this short film by her Autistic daughter, who’s about to start at college. This is her attempt to “capture [my] feelings that [I get] of anxiety or stress when under pressure.”

When it comes to ST: Discovery I am very much in the mindset of "Well, I've come this far..."

Early on I defended it, sure it was different, not the Trek we were used to, but that was fine.

I started losing patience from Season 2. The stakes were too big, the solutions to small, and the characters too stubborn in their utter refusal to have an arc involving any kind of development beyond who can produce the greatest litreage of tears. 1/3

@pupether I’m yet to start this final season of but the range of negative feeling is interesting. In general, my feeling has been that it’s very pretty but hasn’t quite figured out what story it’s telling our what it wants to be when it grows up. had the same issue, IMO.

Of the recent offerings, has actually been my favorite.

But it’s and I shall watch, read, etc.

@garak I’ve experienced earthquakes on both coasts. They’re quite uncommon in New England area. I hear this one was centered in New Jersey. When I lived in upstate New York, the couple we had were from Canada! Heh
