Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Because books.
From today's Publisher's Weekly, this seems like an interesting tidbit:
The American Media attorney Jon Fine whose email to Jeff Bezos was disclosed yesterday is the same Jon Fine who worked for Bezos at Amazon for seven years, serving as director of author and publisher relations before leaving the company at the end of 2014.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh indeed there is more to that story!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Amy -- I -- what? I agree with Laura, more to that story!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Y'all, I have been in meetings all day, and the time I did have in my office to eat lunch turned into two more mini-meetings! I'm excited that I get to go tour a construction site shortly.
But I'm also amused that multiple people have commented on my jeans when it is not Casual Friday! It's because I have to wear long pants for the tour, and I literally don't have work pants.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
In a webinar for online education innovation. It's actually one of the better webinars I've been in lately as they actually want us to participate instead of just listening to speakers. I may not spend the entire time surreptitiously scrolling through twitter.

The standard libraries for nearly every programming language have a function to make this happen.

No offense, Gud, but our developers need slugged. Unfortunately, I keep getting scolded for suggesting a monthly lottery to allow a tech support person to go hit a random developer.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The nominations for the Agatha awards came out at the beginning of this month. I put as many of the ones I hadn't read on hold either from the local library or from one of the libraries in other parts of MD. Tomorrow I go to pick up 9 books that are waiting for me.
