"Did it occur to anyone then /
that among the other swords extended /
was one that no one was holding? /
That sword belonged to freedom. /
That was the only one behind which /
two resolute eyes were not flashing. /
How often knives and forks have been crossed /
in commemoration of that moment /
at banquets where everyone's sitting there in too-tight pants /
and suddenly someone says 'Whose freedom?' /
And a sword that no one's holding
cuts right through the conversation. "

I'm still reading Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, but struggling a bit with it, so started Get in Trouble by Kelly Link (stories) for when I need a break. And from the first story learned today the word "counterpane" (bedspread). #books

hold my beer, I'm writing Python

#FOSSY is organized around tracks submitted and run by community members. You can still get your proposal in at https://sfconservancy.org/fossy/community-tracks/ to help shape this year's event! Personally I'd love to see some around #mobile, #ai, and licensing. (Separately, or together!)

3 years ago today is when I caught up to the (then) present with the @penaddict podcast (episode 553), after starting from the beginning. Have listened every week since. I know this because of my Midori 5-year journal, which I'm pretty sure I learned about from said podcast.
