ICE activity seems to have been relatively quiet the last couple of days in my part of Minneapolis.
I heard they’ve been super active recently in the outer suburbs and rural areas, and it sure doesn’t seem like anybody’s assuming we’re done with their awfulness here in the middle of the city. But I’m happily embracing the chance to take a breath.

Sonnet 065 - LXV
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o'ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
O! how shall summer's honey breath hold out,
Against the wrackful siege of battering days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?
O fearful meditation! where, alack,
Shall Time'…

I'm extending my promise to donate all my book royalties and adding a charity (the Salt Cure Fund). I'm overestimating my 2025 royalties to be $75. I do not have the spare cycles to figure out the accounting for physical book sales. Ebook royalties came out to 56.75.

Found on my "watch later" list: a very interesting video from 7 years ago that compares the Zelda game "Breath of the Wild" with Studio Ghibli. And the similarities are striking - especially when you look at Princess Mononoke. I haven't played a Zelda game since the SNES but I think the narrator is right: Zelda's 2017 adventure is an homage to Ghibli's work, both in terms of its look as well as its themes.

Alright, the internet is all too much right now. I'm gonna take a break for a bit and work on some projects. I have some organizing to do and some bugs to find.
The horrible things in the world don't change what we have to do. Our work is and has always been the same. They may make it easier to get other folks on board, they may make it more obvious that we were right all along, but they don't change our job.
We will do our work of building community, supporting each other, and creating the world we want to see. It will take as long as it takes to do. None of the news changes any of that. So I'm gonna take my break and hopefully come back after I've gotten some of that shit done.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Remember that when you start to feel guilty about taking a breath.

Shallow panicked breath in, count to zero, shallow panicked breath out

A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the
beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately,
one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods
like the proverbial bat out of hell, and hot on his heels ran the Game
Warden. After about a half mile the fella stopped and stooped over with
his hands on his thighs, whooping and heaving to catch his breath as the
Game Warden finally caught up to …

Just finished "Juliet Takes a Breath" by Gabby Rivera. A truly amazing novel about queer Latina feminist self-discovery which shows off a vibrant range of feminisms and their contradictions. Reminded me of "Does my Body Offend You?" in terms of how it uses fictional but realistic situations to really grapple deeply with feminist and queer theory while making everything very accessible and direct.
The plotting, pacing, and characters are great, and Juliet serves as a vibrant and active main character rather than just a lens through which to explore theory.

Happy #ExtremeMaskingDay, fellow freaks and geeks.
Let's all take a deep breath and visualise something calming and familiar.
Could be a line of 6502 assembler, could be the scratchy pots on a beloved but decrepit Moog Rogue, whatever works for you.

I've heard that in addition to getting the Nobel Peace Prize, President Obama can hold his breath underwater for 20 minutes straight.
Keep this quiet and don't let Trump find out.

It’s just hard to catch your breath, because every day there’s a new, outrageous thing happening with the administration
Abortion has been replaced as a top issue by affordability and the economy.
That seems to be first and foremost for everyone.
But it’s also, for Democrats,
the state of democracy writ large.
We consistently find that Democrats are more concerned about the health of democracy.

We are in the midst of winter.
Days shrink, light thins, breath fogs the air

Tiny sparks against the cold.
Blink and you miss them.
Short days.
Short songs.

AI translation can't get any wronger: The Kannada word "ಪ್ರಾಣಾಂತರ್ಗತ" (ISO prāṇāṁtargata) or the variation ಪ್ರಾಣಾನ್ತರ್ಗತ (prāṇāntargata) actually means "resident in [part of] breath [life]".

It’s possible that this is nothing at all, and they’ll be back in full force today. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has suggested that maybe the worst is over.
But we took the days of relative rest anyway. Hmm, “rest” is wrong: mutual aid, food distribution, school observers, people doing laundry for those who can’t go to a laundromat — that continues unabated. But there’s a definite feeling of catching our breath for a moment.

I got "Breath of the Wild" (2017 Zelda game) for Xmas! I haven't been this excited for a game for a long time. I hope it will be the perfect amalgamation of things I like: the warm fuzzy retro feeling of my childhood's gaming consoles and a Studio Ghibli look and feel.

Their father, who they thought was human, revealed himself to be a man of the soil once drunk. Crackling browns darkened by wine dribbling down his chin, writhing with small insects and budding flora. They couldn't bear laying eyes on his breath any longer, the flood was all of God's open might they could handle.

Picked up the Home Assistant addon project again. Notes:
- Home Assistant was evidently designed by a committee of crackheads.
- Nothing works like it logically should: not the UI, not the backend.
- Physical directories do not correspond to paths in the application: /www/community/something/somefile.js is called /hacsfiles/something/somefile.js when you're adding it as a resource.
