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. {.paragraph-spaced-list}
