The power went out today for a couple of hours. That’s pretty uncommon here both because I’m in the city 1Power outages are just a fact of life if you live in the middle of nowhere. Particularly before modern reconnectors, when an outage meant someone had to physically find and replace a blown fuse. and because the weather rarely presents challenges to power delivery. But it made me miss the big UPS I had at the last place. I gave it up 2I do have plans for battery protection, just not with a giant central UPS. I have a small backup for Shanda’s desk – what good is a desk…

Here’s a shape these had before – not all the time, but often enough – a moral 1Themes, too, were a shape these once had. 8 small takes on the same topic, or a series of big ones that integrate into a single, complicated feel..

My landlord now feels like they fucked up, which is great. They haven’t gotten to feeling helpless yet but we’re on the right path. They’ve emailed again, after I stopped replying. They were angry but also afraid and still demanding my compromise beyond the bounds of law. So I will continue to bait them into admitting crimes by not talking and then sending a certified letter to them demanding immediate payment. I hope they ignore it an I get a judge to declare they owe $6k instead of the $2k I am demanding presently. I like being good at this, when my brain will stop yelling about how I’m unethically…
