## Meta

Several people in my circles have been attemtping weekly-ish posts summarizing
things they've been doing, thinking, reading, watching, etc over the previous
week. I really like that idea, so I'm going to give it a try.

## Doing

Last Friday night, {{% tess %}} and I took EJ to a [Bay FC][bfc] game with some
friends. It was her first sports event, and a good game to boot!

I've been playing a lot of Minesweeper the last few months as an idle activity.
Mostly, I use the [lofi & games][lofi] version because it's simple and easily
accessible.

Inspired by the hype around [SwiftUI][swiftui], plus my fascination with
Minesweeper, I've been working on a SwiftUI implementation of the game for
myself.

This is my second week going to the gym on a regular cadence to do some
exercise. I've been using [Apple Fitness+][fitness] workout videos and trying
not be feel too uncool being the person doing a workout video in the gym. I'm
learning some exercises I can use to build my own routines though, and they're
definitely good workouts.

## Reading

[The Deep Sky][deepsky] by Yume Kitasei. A murder mystery set on a space ship on
a long-term mission to colonize another planet. Given to me by a friend last
winter.

[How Reporting on a 1978 Proposal to Ban Gay Teachers Changed My Understanding
of Queer History][gay-history]. Slow Burn's current season is about the Brigg's
Initiative, an attempt to ban gays and lesbians from working in California
public schools.

[Half-Ass It][halfass].
