Uhrg. Just got off the phone. Friend's stepson in juvie for the next 3 months, maybe. Good and bad. Their best hope is getting him into residential inpatient mental health care in the next 9 months, but state funding and beds are limited. Then he turns 18 and they have no options.

Classes started after Labor Day and ended the last week in May. We got a week for Thanksgiving, 2 weeks at Christmas, and 3 weeks in March. With long weekends in October, February, and April.
Yeah, I think that's literally illegal now.
dammit.
But what is that, like 100 instructional days?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Nobody, really. He's credited as "Masked Teen."
I'm guessing it was "Halloween".

Coding and Sleeping
Hey, everyone needs a hobby. I was just having a conversation with someone who asked me what I'm into outside of work, and I had no answer.
There's the cowgirl stuff, doing whatever it is that cowgirls do. I wouldn't know being a non-cowperson sort of person.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In Scotland, a company that rents out kilts is now asking customers to wear underwear....
Leading Scottish kilt-making firm Slanj has written a clause into its hire terms requesting that underwear is worn at all times. Other firms, such as the prestigious Geoffrey (Tailor) Kiltmakers and Marchbrae Clothing, both on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, have said they also back this policy.
The companies have introduced the clause because of the habit of some men to return extremely soiled garments.
While the firms dry clean the garments before they are hired out again, some kilts are so dirty they are unhygienic for staff to handle.
Slanj, which has made kilts for Sir Sean Connery, Ewan McGregor and Billy Connolly, has just launched its hire service but introduced the clause because of previous experience. The company has come up with a rhyme that is displayed on posters around its stores in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, in a bid to encourage its customers to consider wearing underwear.
It reads: "Though Scots like to prance/About in their kilts wearing nae pants/Fir the next punter make it fair/Dinnae firgit to wear a pair."
