Currently glazing the cutest holiday tree. In full holiday mode. I refuse to look at my feed until later. Not letting this art buzz wear off for a while.

The line work healed up just in time to finish coloring this in before the shutdown ends. 15RL on the lines and 9RS on the color.

Had a dream I was in a punk band called Half Pickle and we wore glowing green jumpsuits. If you need me I'll be writing songs for a new project...

If the WH actually muzzles Vought and follows the RIF language and aprops and backpay, I will reconsider my stance on the deal.

RIF Update: The proposed appropriations legislation would invalidate RIFs conducted between 10/1/25 and 1/30/26. (Section 120). It does not include any provisions invalidating RIFs pre-10/1/25 or preventing future RIFs conducted after 1/30/26.

I had to work full time mapping poop during the last shutdown so we could submit poop maps to the administration to get permission to close day use areas, which was also very very stupid lol

Vandalism wasn't a valid reason for closures but I guess the ick factor got through to DC

Free software projects don't bid on RFPs. The proper solution is for governments to fix their bad IT policies, but in the meantime, FOSS projects are doing nobody any favors by declining to allow governments to pay for software if they want to.

There were about 900 people at my local No Kings protest in rural Utah. Our municipal elections are nonpartisan - I'm currently digging through the Utah elections results to see what went down elsewhere. No Dem affiliated candidate was running for mayor here, but the city council Dem got a plurality

The Long Tail of Hurricane Death Will Be Even Longer in Jamaica A growing body of research has demonstrated that hits from tropical cyclones leave more than just damaged rooftops in their wake, in fact raising mortality rates through a likely wide variety of mecha...

Once more from yesterday: My newsletter was about how hurricanes kill people long after the wind and water is gone, how that will probably be worse in Jamaica, and how the media has already moved on from one of the worst storms to strike land in recorded history.
