moved into the new house this weekend. major upgrade to WFH life:
transitioning from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house =
dedicated office space for everybody. Bonus: I set up my office in
the little sunroom area next to the backyard so there's technically a
3rd bedroom that's not even being used right now. I think it's going
to immediately be repurposed as a closet though because there's
literally so little closet space.

I love my little sunroom office though. There are three windows I can
open up, a skylight, and the screen door leading out into the
backyard / garden. I can stand up and walk outside on a call and
enjoy the outdoors. Couldn't be happier with the arrangement
honestly.

It's life changing to be away from the crowded high rise in the
middle of crowded downtown, and to not have to fight my way through
hallways and elevators and lobbies full of people not wearing masks,
and not respecting any kind of social distancing. I think the last
couple weeks there took days off my life due to stress. Now I can
just walk straight out my door and be outside. And we're two blocks
from a huge open park with tons of space to walk around and recreate.

Seriously a great move.

I've been avidly watching vantablack fleeing socal for seattle on
@vantablack@cybre.space after she finally got fed up with her
parents. Best I can tell, some rando from the fediverse offered to
fly her there in some kind of personal plane situation. I was really
scared that they were going to get straight up kidnapped or
something.

I know we no longer live in the world of "never let people on the
internet know your personal information" and "never get in a
stranger's car" (Uber/Lyft) but it still feels like getting into an
internet strangers airplane is the sort of thing that ought give one
pause.
