conulyJenn related everybody's lack of sleep, ending with a hopeful "So, you're not working tonight, right?"
Ah, no, I am working, and under no circumstances will I call out on the grounds that my dog is crazy.
Other than dementia, which she shows no signs of (the dog, not my sister... I mean, not her either, but that's not what I'm talking about), what could cause this sudden barking spree in an otherwise pretty quiet doggie?

A friend let me know about a new Bureau of Prisons guideline for treatment of inmates with gender dysphoria, which you can read in its entirety here. The short form is that they're denying trans inmates gender-affirming care despite medical consensus, and substituting conversion therapy, which has been proven to be harmful and does not in any way "cure" gender dysphoria

As one of life's petty problems goes
Mar. 6th, 2026 09:15 pmconulyI'm worried I lost my kindle when I misplaced my red bag in which everything is. Well, not everything, but perhaps my kindle. Or maybe not. My kindle might be under my bed. If it's not under my bed, I'll have to replace it sooner or later. I'm a bit wary of looking and finding out one way or another.

I don't really want to make a regular post now
Mar. 5th, 2026 02:42 pmconuly(or ever) but I also don't want to not do it, so here we are I guess?
In order to make this a normal post, let me say that my Robert Moses counter is incrementing up again. It has now been 0 hours since the last time somebody brought up Robert Moses, but it's my fault for reading an article about walkable cities and then scrolling to the comments.

One of my coworkers keeps trying to give me a rabbit
Feb. 27th, 2026 09:17 amconulyNot me specifically, I don't think, she just wants to offload a rabbit on somebody.
I actually would like a rabbit, but I think I probably have enough pets. Also, my sister would surely lose her mind.

She says, being forbidden:
Feb. 26th, 2026 08:52 amconulyAnd was there not a king somewhere who said:
“Back, waves! I do command you!” I forget
His name, beloved, or his race, and yet
I know the story and am comforted.
The tides will rise, are rising—see, they spread
About your robes, your ermine will be wet,
Your velvet shoes, your dear dear feet! Ah let
Me warn you, sir, the waves will reach your head!
My king, my kingly love, how shall we stay
The bold broad lifting of this lovely sea?
What is the master word that we must say
To bring these roaring waters to the knee?
The other king went scampering away!
Will you so do? Or will you drown with me?
