It is cold up in the Berkshires. 🥶
Tortoise Update: After a “run-thru”, the headlamps seem to have enough battery life for two performances in an evening. 🤞🐢🎼

It’s infuriating, depressing, scary that we have further to go to integrate our public schools than we did in the ‘70s. 😖
I also found the play even more powerful than I did at NYTW. Not sure if it was because I knew what was coming (which completely changes the first act) or from changes made for this production.
I did end up psychomatically mute by the end (and still can’t speak several hours later), so, yeah, lots of feelings.
So I went to see Slave Play tonight and, during the talk after, a white woman got up—without being called on—and straight up screamed at Jeremy O. Harris and Joaquina Kalukango about how the play was racist towards white people.
Harris gave incredible answers to her but she wouldn’t shut up until security escorted her out.

“The Fantastic Mr. Fox” may be my favorite Wes Anderson film. 🤔
Speaking of css, it’s amazing what’s possible. 🤯 //@cn
Microblogvember Day 28:
So what is everyone’s favorite css property? 🙃

I’m thankful (a day early) for the rich community here on Micro.blog. 🙂 //@macgenie @manton
Microblogvember Day 26:
Activating the @macgenie signal! Today and tomorrow’s words haven’t been mixed into the canonical list. 🙃
Microblogvember Day 25:
I’m feeling somewhat secure at having caught up and at least not going any days without posting anything. Here’s hoping I still get that pin! 🤞
Microblogvember Day 24:
Eek, I’m a couple days behind! Hopefully I’m in good company.
The Yout These Days, A Play in One Act.
Scene: A Suburban Hardware Store
Me: I’m looking for slide calipers.
Yout Behind Counter (looks very confused): What’s that?
Me: 🙄
Microblogvember Day 23:
So much woe on figuring out how to use woebegone.
Microblogvember Day 22:
Hummmnm: the polite version of my response to hearing the part was backed ordered by 10 weeks, not four. 😠
Microblogvember Day 21:
My brain feels pretty hollow after long days of emotional and intellectual work. 💥🧠☄️
Microblogvember Day 20:
The hare might come in first, but the tortoise enjoys her journey to second place. 🐢
Microblogvember Day 19:
What does it say that I’m already ready for winter to abate and May to arrive? 🙃
Microblogvember Day 18:
If I build a wireless headlamp, I’ll be able to black out the tortoises even when the audience is looking at them. 💡🐢🎭
Microblogvember Day 17:
Such a superb acorn!
Microblogvember Day 16:
The tiny processor board I’m using to make some wireless headlamps is quite selective about when it will let the Arduino IDE upload a sketch.
If I didn’t have to worry battery power, I’d definitely be using MircroPython. My kingdom for a REPL!
