Laura: "People make the mistake that they have to ration joy, that joy is finite. But joy just spreads more joy, so gobble it up, eat it like it's the good stuff"
Me: "That's a very profound philosophy"
Laura: "Thanks. I feel like having cancer, I'm under a lot of pressure to be philosophical ... But I have another philosophy which is that cancer sucks. Fuck cancer.

Overheard at the coffee shop:
"Is the first year of my PhD program meant to break my spirit? I mean, if I had read the whole assignment I wouldn't have time to sleep"
I wanted to give her some words of encouragement but at ABD I can't even say it'll get better. At first I thought it'd be better after coursework ... Then after exams. Now I'm dissertating without funding ... Maybe ask me in a year when I'm on the market?

I wrote a short story about love and loss and networks: Rogue Processes https://dustycloud.org/misc/rogue-processes.pdf
(CW: story is not about suicide, but it is mentioned)
I was feeling listless tonight so I sat down and read this book that's been in my tbr pile for weeks. It has all of my favorite things: historical costuming, lonely misfits teaming up, challenging gender & social norms, positive support structures! I loved it, highly recommend!

The other made creatures ... Guess which of us did each task

One of us made a floorplan of our house....

She likes to cuddle up next to it

A couple weeks ago I was organizing things and left this tangled mass of bungee cords on the floor. It has become Missy's new best friend. She goes over and says hi to it whenever she come into the office.

ActivityPub Conf's organization has happened from extremely limited resources, but I think at this point I think it's going to be amazing. Looking at the list of people registered and talks already submitted gives me confidence that this is going to be a heck of an event.
There's still slots open if you were thinking about registering, and talk proposals are still open until Monday! https://dustycloud.org/blog/activitypub-conf-2019/
This is closer to her normal energy
