  I just read a quote that said that the brain is "a machine for jumping to conclusions" and I don't know why but this feels so true.

  I did a zoom presentation today and one of the audience took a screenshot of me talking. I looked pretty crazed. I'd be fucking terrified of me.

  Does anyone else imagine that the earworm currently ringing in their head as they walk on the sidewalk is actually part of the soundtrack in the movie of their life?

  I was under the impression that a subpoena meant you... had to do something? Or be arrested? Trump is, apparently proving me wrong here.

  I'm enjoying #Sandman so far, but I do wonder what people will make of it so haven't read the source material

  TIL that there is actually no abortion law in Canada, i.e. there's no law which explicitly allows or disallows an abortion. It's treated simply as a medical procedure, like a hip replacement (no law for that either) and is legal in the same sense.

  I don't believe I'm a person with seasonal depression or anything but I have to admit that my mood is better with the warm weather.

  TIL that the term "through-composed" refers to a piece of music with no repeated parts (no refrains, etc.)

  I'm not religious, but I occasionally think that for some people, their purpose in life is to be a cautionary tale, and that makes me sad.

  Recent interactions on Twitter have led me to clarify the purpose of all my feeds with descriptions, so hopefully people will have a better idea of what they are in for :-)

  More generally, is there any advantage to hosting your albums on an #indieweb enabled website, as opposed to a dedicated application, assuming the app was under your control (in other words you still own your data)?

  So what does the #indieweb use for storing photos/albums? I run a micropub media server on a remote machine, storing the photos on disk. Any advantage to switching to the cloud (a bucket, for example)?

  I have a very hard time developing new habits. As I have not grown up with plants my whole life, this means that I cannot be trusted to keep a plant alive, as I will inevitably forget to water it.

  I am grateful that Wordle exists if for no other reason than it gives me a reason to talk to my mother every day.
