However wrong all that vibe-reading guesswork in the previous post might be, one thing is clear:
Yesterday was not what a country in the grip of an established autocrat looks like. No faits here are accompli. Nothing looks inevitable.
And that’s the most important thing: autocrats seize power by creating the widespread illusion that they •already have• seized power, that it’s inevitable, that you have to go along to survive. Yesterday made that illusion a lot harder to maintain.

Yesterday I had a day off and made some mango soap. I meant to document the whole process but my batter thickened up so quickly, I couldn't. It was hardly surprising with 20% mango butter in the recipe. 😅

Three little glass jars with pigments (micas) in them in orange, dark pink and purple. A little Spatula rests on one of the jars. The table underneath is covered with a plastic table cloth for protection.

1/ Pretty epic falling out with C yesterday. It started first thing in the morning when I discovered she hadn’t phoned the doctors to make an appointment. She’s bed bound with abdominal pain meaning that I’m having to care for her and baby full time. I’m happy to do that but I do expect C to play her part by seeking medical help. She did then contact the surgery, but doing it late meant she was unlikely to get a same day appointment.

The D-Party certainly needs to listen to the Who's Song "Won't Get Fooled Again" because they certainly got fooled again.

A serene winter evening unfolds under a deep blue sky, where a solitary streetlamp casts a warm, golden glow over a snow-dusted park. The light from the lamp illuminates the immediate area, creating a striking contrast between the bright foreground and the shadowy, snow-covered field that stretches out into the distance. The snow, lightly blanketing the ground, adds a sense of calm and stillness to the scene.

Don’t get me wrong - while using the fountain pen I am still trying to maintain good writing posture and I’m continuing to do my regular hand stretches.
But for a sense of the difference: before, I was happy with the fact that I managed to develop a good pain management routine to allow me to write like 2-3 pages at a time without convulsing in pain.
And now I can write 6 pages nonstop without even thinking or feeling anything. A short 5–10 minute rest and I can come back for more.
This is such a big deal to me. I was able to draw yesterday with a relaxed hand after spending hours writing notes. Before I’d only be able to do one or the other in a day!
And then I finished the evening by writing out a chapter of my novel by hand.
And today my hand is totally fine!!

I’ve been really interested in both aspects of this post:
1. ICE right-wing fringe groups conspicuously steered clear of protests yesterday in a way that suggests that orders went out (whose?) and/or (I’m guessing “and”) that there’s a sense from those people that they don’t have public support and don’t have free license to instigate violence.
2. Police went out of their way to put on a friendly face. I’ve been getting vibes that some local police resent ICE — “this is OUR turf, beating up Black and brown people was OUR job” — and, contrary to what we and the regime might expect, ICE isn’t always getting free support by default from that quarter.
Caveats: No solid conclusions here, just reading vibes. And even if it is actually true for now, all of this can shift on a dime. Still, sure is notable. fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app

Sonnenberg ridge entirely living up to its name...
(Made the most of the last warm weather yesterday afternoon to hike/climb along this beautiful long ridge with many cliffs, roped sections, some cute chamois and hardly any people — temporarily felt like late August, yet in two days supposedly snow starting...)
#SilentSunday

A narrow path along a very narrow ridge of light gray rocks, steep slopes dropping off on either side. The south-facing right side is mostly forested, illuminated by the warm afternoon sun. Blue sky with some streaky clouds.
Steep slopes with yellow brown dried grasses leading down into the valley between some cliffs of light gray rocks and forest. Everything bathed in warm golden light. The valley floor is visible with dense forest, a section of the Linder river and tall mountains rising up on the other side of the valley. Hazy sky.
The silhouette of a standalone rock needle and some nearby trees along the ridge. The sun and some mountains are partially visible from behind the rock. Beautiful red/brown grasses.
(Almost) white, vertical cliffs seen through the forest, illuminated by the late afternoon sun. A small section of blue sky above.

Got to sit in an play with a 2026 Leaf yesterday. felt good. Gonna test drive next week.
I should probably wait a year to get a used one and save money but I think the blue color will be hard to come by.

Bought a new black computing rectangle (a.k.a. a laptop) yesterday as the current one doesn't have enough umph...also, I might've beat it down a bit too much. Went with a Lenovo Thinkpad P14s Gen 6 AMD laptop that was on sale because I wanted Linux support as a given (definitely been bitten by that before).
Went with the Ryzen 9 HX PRO 370 CPU (12c/24t) which has a very strong integrated GPU as well (890M). Told them to install [insert OS that isn't Windows on it because …

A picture of the Lenovo Thinkpad P14s Gen 6 laptop running Windows.  This picture is definitely not mine, but I refuse to use a stock photo from Lenovo with Copilot emblazoned on it.

Yesterday I had to present some stuff to a pretty large group, around 40 people.
What better moment to install my KDE spin of the Nixbook project (codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/asterix-saigon) for a real life test?
I have only one issue with it.
It just keeps working 🤣

started the drier at around 4PM yesterday, now, 17.5hrs later the I'd say the bananas are a little more than half done. The grapes are not that close. I can report both are extremely tasty in this state of partial dehydration but I will resist! 😂
Funny. The internet says to shake/roll the grapes a little so they don't stick to the trays. But our trays have fairly large holes so even just the act of pulling a tray out results in escape of little marbles! so we'll just let them be and deal with the results at the end. 😆

I opened the drawer of my little desk and a single letter fell out, a
letter from my mother, written in pencil, one of her last, with unfinished
words and an implicit sense of her departure. It's so curious: one can
resist tears and "behave" very well in the hardest hours of grief. But
then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window... or one notices
that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed... or
a letter slips f…

Just disposing of a couple Indian pickles in my substantial collection. These two had a pretty good run. Need to make room in the cupboard for more recent acquisitions.

The backs of a jar of "Mother's Recipe" brand Karnataka Cut Mango pickle, expiry Jan 2017, and one of "Priya" brand Gongura pickle (Hibiscus Cannabinus with garlic in oli), expiry Feb 2016. A good run. Both tasted fine as of yesterday.

Tried to make a square shape New York Cheesecake for the first time yesterday. It was meant to be shared at a party and I thought it would be easier to share in smaller pieces. It came out good I think. The base was solid enough to get the out of the pan. I also properly caramelized the top of the base so it doesn't soak as quickly

A US Federal Judge ordered the release of the people DHS now plans to hold anyway, illegally under both US and International Law.
15 of the people arrested at Broadview yesterday were clergy, peacefully protesting; bringing assistance to and advocating for the downtrodden quite literally _is_ their job.
But DHS/ICE/CBP brings only lawlessness and violence.
DHS and all its components and collaborators are a clear and present danger to the American People and the US Consti…

Womp womp, cry all you want. These criminal illegal aliens aren’t getting released. 

Like clockwork, violent rioters have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility to demand the release of some of the worst human beings on planet earth. 

Get a job you imbecilic morons.

I stopped buying books (or anything, really) from Amazon years ago, when it became apparent the working conditions at their many processing centres are appalling and they were actively busting unions. I have never regretted that stance, and I have always been able to find the books, etc. I need from other sources.
I hope more authors — and big name ones too — will follow this lead.

So we tried #nextcloud talk yesterday with friends and it was AMAZING. I first struggled with sound in-out but that was clearly my setup with external speakers and external camera. (really not the typical setup!)
But the 2h video call went totally smooth, good quality, no lag.
If you do videocalls with friends and family.. I can totally recommend nextcloud call - in my case hosted…

Some scenes from yesterday's small, poorly publicized protest at the US Supreme Court. My favorite sign was the one that had a picture of John Roberts, with a quote from his confirmation hearing: "I will remember that my job is to call ball and strikes". Below that, commentary, "Well, ump, you suck!"

Baker & Taylor CEO Aman Kochar told employees Monday that following a recent failed acquisition deal with ReaderLink, the Charlotte-based company has no viable path forward, though he had hoped to find another solution
