Monday 3rd November: experiment with alternative Mastodon clients.

7th November, mid-afternoon: discover that I have been accidentally watching a live feed from all servers.
Now I don't know whether to laugh, or cry, because I don't know how to regain my previous view of things in the advanced web interface, but one thing's for certain:

Everyone can go ice skating. You can go ice skating, even if you’re really bad at it. And if you fall, strangers will rush to help. And they’ll laugh with you when you laugh. Because this is Minneapolis.
And one of these days, damnit, everyone can go skating and just worry about the ice and not ICE. One day. When we get those occupier assholes out of here.

So farewell then Microsoft Office.
I haven't used you really since the 90s.
From this distance: it seems like you just kept getting worse and more exploitative since then and trapped millions of people in abusive relationships with tech.
It made me laugh when you went monthly-payment subscription-only, and then laugh even more when suckers actually ponied up for that.
It's fun when people say they don't know how to use Libreoffice, even though Libre is more like the original MS Office (before it was shit) than Office 365 was.

Back in 2018, I took the Maglev between Longyang Road and Pudong Airport. The route was so short that the train was only able to get to it's top speed for something like a minute before it had to start slowing down again. The new Chuo Shinkansen is supposed to go from Tokyo to Osaka and be faster than the Shanghai Maglev. I think that's really cool.

Oh well, if it gets me using my phone less, that’s a good thing, I guess.

I have to laugh. In most TV movies and shows, if someone receives a head injury of any kind, it seems to be the supreme goal of any who attend the injured person to keep them conscious at all times. Of course, there's no reason that this needs to be done. I wonder where this came from.

From that observer who was taken yesterday, shared here with permission, because we could all use a good laugh. (Note: Whipple is the fed bldg that’s ICE’s MSP HQ)
❝So here’s my story about returning to the world…
When they let you out of Whipple, they give you back your personal effects (minus your phone). And just send you out the front door with whatever you were wearing when you came in.
So I’m walking out the front door of Whipple, probably looking like an ice agent coming off shift, and pulling all of my random shit out of my bag/dropping it in the snowbank, etc.… And I can hear the protesters at the gate, taunting me… “oh did you drop your phone, you piece of shit?” “You’re TERRIBLE!” “Fucking Nazi!” And I was just loving it, actually. But when I got closer and used my big voice “You assholes are barking up the wrong tree…. These MF’ers just released me!” The crowd went absolutely crazy.❞

Right now, I’m finding this kind of “cringe-laugh” material therapeutic. To protect my own mental health, I’m having to pace my grieving — which sounds so strange, but that’s what’s going on. Laughter and critical analysis both are functioning as a kind of escape valve for me right now. So please, as someone from Minneapolis, please grieve and rage, yes, and also please give yourself permission to laugh.
