The standard for change isn’t “is my doing this going to change the world?” The standard is “is my doing this part of the shift I want to see my community make?” And if the answer is yes, I do my best

No matter how low your expectations of how bad things are in Azure, prepare to have them reset quite a bit lower: https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporized-a-trillion
This isn't just neglect, it's willful abandonment of basic security and stability standards my senior and middle management. Given the number of major breakins they've had in the last few years, there's little wonder as to what's behind that.

#MakeShitMonday, in which the next #crochet project is already coming along nicely... @mbroome and I have been road-tripping for outdoor adventures, and long drives are prime crochet time for me!
I previously made a scaled-up version of this [Branching Out Shawlette](https://www.mooglyblog.com/branching-out-shawlette/) in a lovely [Plymouth Yarn Avita](https://www.plymouthyarn.com/yarn/avita-item-418-limited-quantities-available) alpaca-blend yarn - which turned out *incredibly* soft, but too fuzzy to properly showcase the interesting branching lace pattern inset between panels.
