I'm having a lousy morning. Do me a favor and pay me a compliment--I'll give you one back in return.

@gretchenalice You’re hilarious and have/had one of the best nicknames (gretchasketch)!

@indiana_mama Just starting a @BreneBrown book, but some HP would also be good.

@indiana_mama Whoa. Things OK, or just busy?




My IndieWeb Commitment is:

– Finish my style guide
– Add the “floating top bar” main navigation when scrolling down the page

My IndieWeb Commitment is:

– Expand my reply-context to show at least the author name and text that I’m replying t0.

– Add support for local comments, requiring a Persona login to leave a comment.

– If those two are not enough (ha), a stretch goal would be to add tagging.

Looking back:

On 2015-12-26 I completed the expanded reply-contexts for new posts. Retroactively applied it to an older post to screenshot: https://gregorlove.com/2015/07/solution-or-go-home-couldnt/

On 2016-03-09 I implemented plain-text tagging for event posts.

On 2016-03-21 I completed support for local comments. I did not use Persona for login since it's dying, unfortunately. :/ The anti-spam measures I've implemented have worked pretty well, though.

Re: the death penalty, I just finished reading a really powerful book, The Death of Innocents by Sister Helen Prejean. Highly recommended. More information and resources: http://www.sisterhelen.org


Happy #MST3KTurkeyDay!


Police hit a #NoDAPL protester with a concussion grenade. She's now facing multiple surgeries and potentially amputation of her arm. Please donate if you can.

I still have complicated thoughts on the use of political vandalism (destruction of property), but did find this article informative. I definitely do not think it's as simple as a lot would make it out to be, and don't think it should be called "violence."

Property destruction is not violence in any substantive sense. To use the same term for vandalism as direct physical brutality is an Orwellian pollution of language that cheapens real violence and suggests that people are equivalent to things. Obviously destroying people’s inert possessions is usually not ethically justifiable — but the bar is much lower than with real violence. Civil disobedience, like blocking a port, can incur costs in the millions of dollars, while other actions widely accepted as ‘non-violent’ like pouring fake blood over draft cards or mortgage records can amount to incredibly costly direct property destruction. Breaking cheap windows may look scarier to some, but appearing intimidating is hardly an atrocity.
