ACK! I should have put this Pizzicato Five song up during the Artemis II flight. The band uses a sound clip from a previous NASA space flight. Lots of funky mid-century modernist spacy sounds.

How will attitudes change if students like me aren’t taught the truth about British colonial history?
The skewed perspectives in my A-level curriculum are staggering. Until that changes, harmful ideas about race and migration will live on, says Emerging Voices winner Astrid BarltropAstrid Barltrop (The Guardian)

I'm making a new programming language.
No, this is not the long-term project I've been promising. (That one still has a little ways to go.)

"You're going to-", a slit throat for good measure but really, it was the arrow. You resume these small, sufficient priceless things that make up your life. They'll be back.
See, I told ya, here they are again, they've brought trinkets, cameras to capture our strange ways, but really, more often than not, diseases that rot the mind and body. That arrow shut him up good, "You're going to be left-". We didn't let him finish, yes! That's what we want, please leave us behind. Back to the treeline.
And here they are again, are you fucking kidding me, "-going to be left behind" the word of god, it's god damn missionaries now. Yes please! Only you won't let us. More arrows.

What kept me going is the Fediverse itself. No judgment, room to make mistakes, genuine tolerance. This network carries values that help people move forward, and I met great folks along the way.
Thanks to everyone who used the app, reported bugs, translated strings, or simply said hi over the years.
