Things I said at work today, without context: "I wouldn't. Remember the Bluey chapsticks?" "Best guess is he died of tuberculosis-induced meningitis or rabies." "You can only buy those from Argentina. Or if you're a penguin, I guess." ...what even is my job?

Welp, that "we'll have your brakes done by EOB today" call from my mechanic turned out to be an April Fools' joke. But I gave my webbed site new CSS and a custom domain name, so life's not all bad. https://samiz.dad

More X-Filesposting (lol): I found a list ranking all 201 episodes (of the original ten seasons), so I'm rewatching the series in this list's order. Wrote some wee spoiler-free reviews from my now-middle-aged perspective: gemini://drmollytov.smol.pub/2025-03-27-2

The X-Files ep "Kill Switch" was creepy in 1998 because sentient evil AI. It's creepy today because it showed me how well I've been trained to assume all tech is malevolent spyware tracking my every move. (Esther gets into a car with a cell phone in it? really? girl, that thing is so trackable....)

Consolidating my tubes-presence on smol.pub: //drmollytov.smol.pub It's nice to type once and publish to Web, Gemini, and Gopher simultaneously. Also, Atom feeds!

I successfully flashed Sailfish OS to a Sony Xperia 10iii today, which means I am now officially free of Oligarch Tech for all my personal computing. Feels fantastic.

I spent my work afternoon planning a library escape room for the students who had no tardies or unexcused absences this marking period. I shall make the children do Puzzles and reward them with Play-Doh (also Jolly Ranchers). *evil laugh*

Gemini and Lynx have absolutely ruined me for trying to read online at work. Even though I am a librarian, and one would think nothing could deter me from reading. Apparently Web 2.0 can! My students are DEFINITELY getting a "how to make your own Web page" lunch seminar series next fall. gemini://drmollytov.flounder.online/gemlog/2025-03-03.gmi

It's been one of those days where nothing works the way it should and for no discernible reason. But the guac I made with dinner was excellent, so there's that.
