I was home sick from work for part of this week. I spent some of that time
reading, solving a Rubik's Cube, folding some cute origami, and hacking on
[silly projects][rubiks-scrambler].

{{< tess >}} and I started watching the BBC miniseries adaptation of [Jonathan
Strange and Mr Norrell][strange]. I haven't read the book but this show is
making me want to. We've also been watching [Agatha All Along][agatha] on
Disney+, a witchy and highly queer-coded sequel to [Wandavision][wanda]. I also
caught up on [Shrinking][shrinking] on Apple TV+, which is great.

Some stuff I found interesting this week:

* Someone shared a link to this writeup about the proceedings of the [DNSSEC
Root Signing Ceremony][dnssec]. Some things I found notable: the ceremony
involves seven people who all must be present to sign the certificate; it is
designed to support a 5% of dishonesty among the attendees. (5% is written into
the spec.)
* An acquaintance and colleague of mine, [Willow][willow], wrote a post about
what they're doing to [live honestly][live-honestly] in a world that's
increasing less hospitable to marginalized people.
* This post entitled [Fixing the World][fixing] drew a good analogy between the
work in front of us and the daily work of fisherpeople. Namely: maintenance,
preparedness, community building, and vigilence for coming storms.
* Tess sent me a post by Casey Plett called [And now, it's almost noon][noon]
reminding us to tend to our grief, take care of each other, and "keep your head
up."
* Here's a 20 year old [comic][panic] from [Alison Bechdel][bechdel] (of the
[Bechdel/Wallace Test][bechdeltest]) about trans bathroom panic.
* [The Onion is buying Infowars][onion] with the backing of victims of the Sandy
Hook shooting, saying they're going to make a "very funny, very stupid" website.
