My grandmother and I watched a lot of Golden Girls growing up. Have some cheesecake everyone. RIP #BettyWhite.

I'm encouraged to see the growth of trade schools, not just for young adults who wouldn't be served well by a 4-year degree, but also for older adults who must retool because fewer modern career paths last someone their whole life. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/12/31/skilled-trade-education-comeback/

If you have a tech career, retooling is especially important. I've made 4 major career pivots so far (dev->sysadmin->security->executive) and while each was a planned and smooth transition, each required a combination of mentoring/on-the-job training and self-study.

What's nice about being unvaxxed is that when your kids learn to drive, you don't have to worry about what the other drivers do. Just teach your kids to drive safely & everything will be fine. It would be unAmerican to want to limit them in any way. It's a beautiful way to live.

Software freedom is the prerequisite for many of the issues people struggle with when it comes to technology, privacy breaches, user lock-in, DRM, hardware obsolesence, it is all connected. Support #FreeSoftware https://fsf.org

My new year's resolution is to continue being based

good morning, kiwis.. happy day-after-christmas.. 🎄

drama here with the family. my mom took herself to the hospital overnight because she was feeling so shitty, and she has covid.. my dad is sick but is being extremely stubborn and flippant about it.. i am sick. i just want to go home, but i feel like now i ought to stay and help them. my mom is trying to cook me breakfast. bitch, go to bed..!! i keep trying to give her advice to help her symptoms and it’s like talking to a goddamn wall. she won’t use the humidifier, she won’t use lozenges even though she says her throat is killing her, she won’t take the OTC medicine i offered her… gaaaaah. she just revealed she went and slept on the couch last night because she thought her cough might bother my dad. 🙄 so at least if i leave, she can use this bedroom… sigh. maybe i will get it set up with the humidifier and everything so she doesn’t have a damn choice.

anyway, i personally feel a bit more human than yesterday, but still pretty crappy. this morning my ears are all plugged up, so that’s driving me crazy. sigh. fixing to go to the store and get supplies for them which they will probably not use and will also try to pay me for. FAMILY!!
