I’m feeling more and more frustrated at the injustice of tying basic health and security (housing, food) to employment. Being without a job should not imperil your health care access; and indeed being jobless may often be when health and safety are the most important things in one’s life.

What a shit show. It doesn’t have to be like this.

Got our Halloween decorations set up

Current status: imperial stout

My local library is pretty great. Lots of rad board games to check out. You can also borrow art for display in your own home!

I got a Bluesky account, finally. I signed in, and followed a few folks. Most of them I follow here, too.

Not sure why I signed up. It doesn’t offer me anything I currently need. Was it simple FOMO?

I read Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player Two”. I did not like it.

Watching Ahsoka has me wanting a cloak with a hood. Why’d these ever go out of style?

I am consistently impressed with the scope of Baldur’s Gate 3. Lots of interesting side quests fill in the world, which itself is massive. So many locations, so many little details in each one. This game is a delight to play, and I’m really looking forward to a second play through, making new choices and uncovering even more secrets of this game!

Why does Discord assume I want notifications on every new server I join, when my user behavior clearly shows the first thing I do is turn off all notifications?
