FlorianWelp ... I was just informed through a Slack DM that I will no longer be working at the place I'm working at in two weeks' time. That is, evidently, how we handle that now. Not entirely unexpected as the writing on the wall was evident, but still not loving that approach for reasons I haven't quite worked out yet.

[39c3] I Hated All The Cross-Stitch Software So I Made My Own: My Deranged Outsider Software Suite For Making Deranged Outsider Art
Designing cross-stitch patterns, I got frustrated with all the programs which expected me to click around a canvas setting individual pixels. I wanted a cross-stitch design software suite that I could drive with a Makefile, which could give me an ...

The Conversation U.S.Karoline Leavitt’s White House briefings aren’t just spin – they reflect what George Orwell warned about: lies divorced from reality, and the use of “doublethink” to have a word (like “transparency”) mean just the opposite. A historian who studies Orwell explains:
So, I hurt my back bending over to pick something up. They sent me to get a CT scan, and discovered what might be a compression fracture. The spine doctor says it's not likely a fracture and sent me to physical therapy for a few weeks. "Any pain?" they ask? Yes, but not my back. It hurts when my xiphoid process touches the floor when I do these press-ups. So my primary caregiver orders an X-ray of that area, front and side. My xiphoid process juts out like a letter "J". But the radiologist sees something concerning around the left hilar area (where your windpipe splits into two). Since I have had cancer before (Hodgkin's lymphoma — thirteen years in remission), they want to do a PET/CT with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose to see if anything is using a lot of energy (like taking infrared photos of houses to see who's got the cannabis grow operation). The doc reviewing the scan has no online of my history and thinks I'm likely to have malignant lung cancer that has metastasized to my lymph nodes. I'm unconvinced. I'm sent to a pulmonologist, who recommends an EBUS (endo-bronchial ultrasound) in which they'll sense the best spots to get biopsy samples. They got seven. The immediate opinion was that it did NOT look at all like lung cancer, but the mass around that region was compressing my airway. The biopsy results yesterday indicate that yes, as I suspected, my cancer is making a comeback. The good news is that it's still very easily treatable (with newer drugs, too!), and my relaxed attitude about the whole thing helps to reassure my family and friends (and caregivers) that this isn't a catastrophe, and I'll survive this one, too.
