Oh, great Ghu – I'm so sorry everyone.
Looks like I woke up the Tankies…

Dang.
For someone who has been avoiding politics here ever since the last election, I sure as hell stepped in it today…
(And I'm STILL avoiding the news. So, honestly, I have no clue just how bad things are RN.)

Someone has created a #Unicode #C library for #embedded systems. It even meets #MISRA standards!
https://railgunlabs.com/unicorn/
I've been looking for something like this. But the fact it's licensed for 'no commercial use' will likely reduce it's adoption; including my own libraries – which I do not intend to limit thusly.

I don't want to hear another word about making #Canada the '51st state'. The whole idea is stupid, asinine and unworkable and everyone knows it will never happen.
Instead? Let's talk about making Washington State part of British Columbia. I mean, we never really did win the Pig War…

Make your claim Canada! The people of #WA will stand with you!

Snow has been sifting slowly down like a fine dust all morning; in the way it does when it is quite cold outside, but not an outright storm.
Just now it warmed slightly (still cold) and the snow changed to giant flakes.

Once again @pluralistic has managed to distill into once sentence something I've had trouble finding the words to explain. I'll be stealing this one!
"The classic leftist distinction goes: leftists want to abolish a system where 150 white men run the world; liberals want to replace half of those 150 with women, queers and people of color." https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/05/not-that-naomi/#if-the-naomi-be-klein-youre-doing-just-fine
See also: Why I refuse to be labeled as a 'Liberal'. (I'm not a 'Leftist' either, exactly. But I'll leave that for another toot.)

If it is the only way, I will even vote for a candidate who doesn't represent my views – so long as I can send this message with my vote:
I don't care who the president nominates. I don't care how otherwise good a bill he supports is. I don't care if the exercise is ultimately futile! I want to see my representatives in Congress as a wall against everything the president wants and represents. I want you to use every tool at your disposal to frustrate him at every turn.

I just sent this message to both WA senators:
Although I live in a rural area of Washington State I do not support the current president, his policies, or his agenda. In fact, I am greatly concerned he is taking, and will further take, illegal measures to achieve his ends.
For this reason I am writing to say I will vote against any current federal legislator who in any way furthers that agenda; even if just by voting to confirm his nominations or voting for a bill he supports.

Today's lunch: Tomato soup and a cheese sandwich. Because it's a tomato soup and cheese sandwich kind of day.
The sun is shining, but I still have six inches of snow on the ground and it's cold as a well digger's ass out there.
But it's still pretty as hell! I'm not a fan of the snow when it comes to living with it. But I'll never tire of looking at snow-covered trees and mountains.

I have a ton of projects: some in-progress, some stalled, many more waiting in the queue for a serious start. But I suck at managing them and sometimes it seems overwhelming.
The last couple of days I've been thinking I should create a comprehensive TODO list, perhaps using some kind of task management app. Kind of like back when I was leading a software design team.
But part of me is resisting the idea.
Figuring out why I feel that way? Sounds like another project…

Update: Woke up today to a bit more than 6 inches total accumulation of fluffy snow; so the weather forecast wasn't too far off for once.
Unfortunately, the forecast for today is for another 2 to 4 inches and a bit more for Monday. Also, it doesn't look like it will melt off for a while; forecast is sunny and cold for the rest of the week.
The dog seems excited by it.

I'd really like to apologize to #Canada for something.
I'm not following the news, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm apologizing for; but they seem really pissed off right now and – honestly – I can't tell you how many times Canadians have apologized to me over the years for things.
Please excuse us. We're a nation of assholes. I'd avoid us if I were you.

Woke up to an inch of snow over everything and more dusting down lightly. Temperature is right at freezing; 32F/0C.
[#]Weather forecast is more of the same all day and tomorrow. Might end up with 3 to 6 inches when all is said and done.
I'll need to make sure the dog has some play time out in it later…

Earlier in the week I sent a comment to my local state reps and senators regarding #WA state BILL: 1038 - Prohibiting puberty blocking medications, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries for minors.
My comment and the response from Senator Keith Wagoner are attached as screenshots.
TL;DR? Don't worry about this. The adults in the legislature intend to kill it in the cradle.
