"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. "
--Gunnar Harding #poem

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.

I finished "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers. A short sweet break. Back to the Bookers, started "The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida" by Shehan Karunatilaka which so far I find too confusing but we'll see. Also finished rereading "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Murakami which I had to reread after reading his "The City and Its Uncertain Walls" which is the same book, sort of. Immediate temptation is to now reread "The City and Its Uncertain Walls". #books.
