Just returned home after watching Wicked.

I enjoyed it a lot, and I had minimal exposure to it or the production or book before.

Beige bedspread with two beige/orange/ginger cats laying down on it.

They are cozy and their eyes are barely open.

Y'all... swingset.social has existed for six years now... since September 2018.

I'm really glad I've made this place home. It's the only social media place I put any of myself into.

That's all. That's the toot.

I haven't been thirsty online in a while now.

Now... I kind of want to be, but don't know where to be.

Also... I am starting to resign myself to the fact that Swingset's website will need a radically simpler / more maintainable redesign, and we may have to hop back on "popular" social media.

Fuck X of course... But Bluesky? Instagram? Facebook? Crosssposting on YouTube?

I AM DEFINITELY posting transcriptions of our podcasts on the website though, machine transcribed, proofed by me. I'm redesigning my production workflow to make this possible.

What really bugs me is that nobody acknowledged that I didn't make a mistake. It just kind of let it pass with no mention.

Proofing a config file isn't exactly the pinnacle of technical excellence. I do strongly desire to be treated at least... competent by default.

I took this role after a two year hiatus because I wanted a quick back-to-basics stint, but I've found myself stuck no thanks to the general IT market rut, and I have to be chill while being treated like I'm new.

*sigh*

Yesterday I was gaslit at work quite a bit on an issue that boiled down to:

"Just add this parameter to the shortcut and the application will connect to the test environment."

Every iteration of that parameter I tried resulted in a launch crash, and everyone "above me" on other teams just assumed, even after posting screenshots and copy pastes, that I was doing something wrong.

Fine.
I went line by line in .json config files looking for the variable, found it.

A missing comma.

I'm likely going to need to explain the process, in detail and step by step, many times on election day.

I'll be ready for it.

As I'm once again serving as an election judge this election cycle, I'm going through online training materials and while they're not new as of this year, they are the first time I'm going through them (as I trained in person before the last cycle).

I'm once again, impressed at how thoughtful they are. They're not pretty, or flashy or super professional looking, but they are clear, concise, and thorough, and publicly available.
