I'm on slrpnk.net and midwest.social

Slrpnk espouses solarpunk, obviously, which is a heavily anarchist and progressive ideology with a focus on ecological conservation.

Midwest is nominally left-leaning but under a thick creamy layer of Midwestern mind-yer-own-beeswax.

Normal, yes; healthy, no.

Years later? Sure.

Months later? Hells to the no.

I started a new job I really like, and got offered a promotion at the old job.

No. My mother has unretired twice and my grandmother has come out of retirement four times. They don't have the knack for it and I doubt I will either.

I read on the toilet, on the bus, while doing dishes. I read while falling asleep at night and whenever I have five minutes alone during the day. I read three or more books at a time, so when I'm not in the mood for one there's two more options to engage with.

But that's me.

You'll read a lot more if you give yourself permission to read things you enjoy. Maybe start with some Terry Pratchett.

Labyrinth!

Each turn you first move one column or row of the gameboard over by one, then move as far as you like along any unobstructed path as you race against other players to collect magiffins in the ever-changing maze.

It's a game that rewards both creative thinking and sabotage. It helps develop strategy and spatial reasoning. It's simple enough for a kindergartner to learn but engaging enough for adults to enjoy even after dozens of games.

In the eyes of the law, a fax is a secure way to send personal information. An email, even an encrypted one, is not. We need to fix the law, but lawmakers as a rule do not understand technology.

The problem is thinking of time as a unidimensional directed flow that we are pushed along by, rather than a multidimensional manifold that we traverse.

Think of even a flat graph. If two agents start at (0,0) and both travel to when x=4, the agent that went from (0, 0) to (4, 0) had a trip of length 4. The agent that went from (0, 0) to (4, 3) had a trip of length 5.

Things only get better if we make then better.
