Enjoying this work music
This morning's headphones sounds for troubled mindbodies

Using github.com/ravachol/kew to listen to local music files and I like it. It is starting to feel like horrible UIs (because of capitalism, not bad UI designers) are going to drive a fresh crop of Unix philosophy style apps. I sought out a terminal music player after hating every GUI option I could find.
"Just stick around 'til the light pushes into the darkness"
"This is one of the extra fun perversions of the Protestant Ethic. For all that one might imagine that status is the deserving consequence of effort, it also works in reverse...One’s status – by race, class or gender – can also be the basis of ‘deserving’....Status means that one’s moral/intellectual/other superiority is just built-in."

Dropped BOTH at-home children (11 and 13) off at summer camp 2.5 hours away this afternoon. (It is the 13-yr-old's fourth year of camp but the 11-year-old's first.)
This is the first time in the history of our relationship that we have an empty-nest-like house (21-year-old was 6 at the start of our relationship) and there are some FEELS going on with both of us. Might be a long week! 😭
