That’s great news! Congrats to Emmet!
I am weirdly surprised that Pigeon Forge isn’t a Dolly infused utopia. I hope your stay does not have too much ::gestures vaguely:: Drew
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm happy for Emmett and sorry for askye. Losing a pet is hard.
In other news, Michael Lewis and Casey Cep in a discussion about federal workers and patriotism and their book Who is Government?. It's pretty cool and inspiring. [link]

That is fantastic news for Emmett! Congrats.
I'm so sorry, askye.
I'm... here and reading along. Looking forward to crossword puzzles and Buffistas this weekend. Bright spot!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
All right, Emmett! That's pretty cool!

Our wings are not tired.
Well done, Emmett! That is easier said than done.
I'm sitting at the gate waiting to board. The gym across from me is arguing non-stop. With his wife, and apparently with the gate person. Here's hoping he doesn't sit near us. I am in the Exit row, because huge traveling companion. He always says he is fine anywhere, but as the person next to him I say not so much.

Emmett has officially been accepted into the apprentice program of Electrician's Union Local 50-something, starting in the next week or so.
That's awesome. It's a great trade.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's a great trade.
And it’s one that’s going to be in demand as the world decarbonizes.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm going to Vegas in a week. It's for a tech conference so I'll be attending sessions during the day and coding at night.

...and per your tag, Gud, sleeping when?
Also, I first read that as "I'm going vegan in a week... for a tech conference" which was very confusing.

It should be fine, but I'm just very aware. I'm on the balance between knowing that if I wanted to I could completely fly under the radar. I'm a white guy in a 50s whith a nice white beard. However, I also should NOT be one avoiding it. I'm wearing rainbow pride toppers on my glasses today. I mean, I'm not looking to start anything, but I'm also queer, and don't feel right hiding just because I can.
Yeah, the world is a lot right now.
