The local women's centre is fighting a battle between TERFs and a variety of people who don't think that verbally assaulting people because they are trans*, PoC, indigenous women is wrong.

I'm really sad to say that in this, "progressive city" one of the TERFs (who took legal action against the women's centre) is a city counsellor.

I was fairly involved there about 15 years ago (before I moved there, I lived there about 10 years, and have since moved away... Maybe longer ago than that) and that was going on then.

I *suspect* this will continue going on until there is enough to really get a solid inclusive policy in place, that would not be that easy to reverse... Currently it is roughly evenly split between the two factions.

Apparently... No more sleeps... At least not for a while... Going to try some tea...

It's way too late ... Way past our bedtime, but well better late than never... So off to bed.

Tazzy didn't want to come watch TV with us... I guess we're not good enough. Well, we *did* loose the parents for about the 15th time in a week... So she probably is trying to figure out how she can get them back...

Been a while since we've done this. I think that the most recent one before today, I did welcome. That was @neptune that was a while ago...

But today I see a new account, @conglomerate who has followed. Not sure if they did so manually, or if there is "random" or "currated" people who get followed with the new account. In any case... Welcome... Good to have you here...

It's kind of bed time... But... Donwanna...

I seem to be really grumpy right now. Really pissed off about someone talking about cops...

Never had a good experience with a cop. Had plenty of bad experiences. The fairly rare, "well they aren't *all* terrible people..." Only to be corrected in short order...

OK. I don't feel like I've done anything today. But it's time to go to bed.

Night night. (I must have done something, but it doesn't *feel* like anything).

I think I should probably head to bed... Night night...

The writing project stuff continues. Mostly not so much "writing" but getting a better grasp on what the current state of it, and getting the new format to work without too much darn stuff I'll have to totally rework as I work along...

I'm tired. I'm sore. I'm not thinking well. I really have no idea how I can communicate, "I just can't continue" in such a way that I don't have to try to say it 5 times before a person seems to understand that I actually mean, "I just can't continue."

I don't mean, "fuck off and die." I do mean, that I really can't continue...

And that's all I can say right now...

Oh my... Spent a big part of the day (it seems like it at least) starting to move a project from Twine/Twee to LaTeX. A big part of it was converting the one .tw file into ~25 .tw files.

I'm not *really* happy with:

sa$\underdot{\rm m}$s$\bar{\rm a}$ra

for a properly formatted, "samsara" either. Mind you I could just take that and create something that I'll use \samsara or something when I need it.

I'll probably end up doing that.

But it's *way* past our, "really aught to be in bed time."

Sleep is important...

Well, it seems like it's time to head to bed.

I'm going to go looking for a game to play.

If you have any favourites let me know. For the most part I tend to play free games, or games which are relatively cheap.

It's not so much that I don't want to pay more for a game, but more that the kinds of games that are more expensive, usually I find are just way too much for me, and really while they are totally worth it, it just doesn't end up working out that well.

A couple bigger games that we've bought have been Stelaris, and RimWorld. I got enough out of both of them that I don't feel horribly that I paid too much. But for me, it was more or less a single play through of the scenario.

Most of what I do enjoy are puzzle type games, and I kind of think that a puzzle game, along with a good story where it justifies the puzzles would be fun, but I've not found a good one.

Anyway... off to https://itch.io/ to see if I can find something.

I seem to be falling asleep. So going to head to bed. I did manage to look at some of the work that I've been meaning to look at. So I guess that's good.

I guess... Maybe I got some of the stuff with the PeerTube instance ( https://video.datsemultimedia.com/ ) dealt with, or sort of. For some reason having issues with getting the update to 2.0.0 to work. Not sure what the issue is. But I think it's the typical, "will break if the config file isn't right, but won't tell you in a reasonable way as to why it is breaking."

There *has* to be a better way to handle this. I'll give it another go before too long. I think I may have dropped the problem with too much bandwidth being used, and maybe the problem with the "too many requests" problems.

Really aught to head to bed. night night...
