@seyerian I have one of those sunriser alarms where it starts with a low soft light, the dog immediately begins whining at you to feed her, and the light gradually warms up until the alarm goes off after twenty minutes.

But you of course have been out of bed for 19 minutes already because of the dog.

Brain’s wired tighter than a guitar string today, so having a cup of kava tea for stress.

Next to my morning coffee.

Which, yeah. I know. But I can only do so much.

@seyerian the sunriser alarm was fantastic, until my cohabitants included early rising pups.

@seyerian especially as days get shorter here in Seattle, the light is a nice gentle brain prompt that wakeup time is soon even though it’s still dark outside.

Once again the brain hasn’t started when I was hoping it would and I’m just gonna roll with it because I have tasks due.

(which is to say it started now-ish when I was hoping for a few hours ago but hey at least it started)

The dip in advertising revenue from whatever doesn’t find loopholes in the ban will likely be made up for by requiring greater rates on remaining ads thanks to increased “engagement” by wage trolls.

Maybe it’s because I have a history using programming languages with – uh – “quirky” syntax, but I’m more and more of the opinion that a language’s syntax is far less important than its tooling (and community).
