Got the whole family up for a 5k this morning, and everyone ran great! Now I get to enjoy the satisfying tiredness and happy endorphins / endocannabinoids for the rest of the day 🙂

I am a girl. I like reptiles and horror movies and science fiction and comics and TTRPGs, and for my entire life, every time I have entered a space, I have had to prove that I didn't "steal" it from the person* it rightfully belonged to. (*Boy, then man.)

Have you read The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com ? If not… imagine an AI robot with some human parts woven in, complete with anxiety and depression. Imagine it hacks its governor module to be free. What does it do? (What would you do in its place?) Starts with the novella “All Systems Red”

Kentuckians have said loud and clear: Public dollars should only be used for public education. The Republican supermajority hasn't listened. I have. Today, I am standing with our people and vetoing House Bill 1.

What do you think makes good technical nonfiction writing, and what does that share with good fiction?

BUT! The underlying behavior IS still interesting. "Dangling templates" happen when you delete a cert template without disabling it first, and they can lead to unexpected template enablement. New blog explains the whole thing: jakehildreth.github.io/blog/2026/01...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

With the passage of the "big, ugly bill,” the U.S. Senate said it was okay to fire 20,000 Kentucky health-care workers, close 35 rural hospitals in our state and throw over 200,000 of our people off insurance. 1/2

I'm proud to stand with and celebrate our LGBTQ+ neighbors. From being the first Kentucky governor to proclaim Pride Month to standing against hateful legislation, I'm going to keep fighting for what's right – a more equal and inclusive future for all. Happy Pride, Kentucky!

If you are in the US and feeling powerless today, remember that you can call your congress people to express your concerns and ask for actions. That is what their phone lines are for. Just stick to your own Rep and Senators, add personal details if possible, and be polite to the staffers!

JAMUARY 2025 Day 30 (one) One more day! Is it cheating if your single instrument is a Digitakt? I limited myself to factory samples to keep it simple but there is still a lot the box can do. Forgot the compressor though! youtu.be/E1blxhK-daY #jamuary #jamuary2025 #dawless #synthsky #digitakt

JAMUARY 2025 Day 28 (moon) I wasn't sure how to start a "moon jam" (NES DuckTales did it best) so I found an old recording from Library of Congress and started with some samples. Added breakbeat, trance plucks, and a little weirdness. youtu.be/4A2IQ3oPuY0 #jamuary #jamuary2025 #dawless #synthsky
