This is my Leap Day post. There are many like it, but— hah, no I can’t finish that.
I did wonder if I had ever posted on Leap Day. Apparently only a few, back in 2016:
- An indieweb-relevant quote from Amanda Palmer
- Finished a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica. Funnily enough, I was recently thinking I should watch that again.
- And an evergreen post about rebooting Square One Television
Thanks to capjamesg and Jeremy Cherfas in the IndieWeb chat for the nudge to post something on Leap Day because - have I ever made a Leap Day post?
I just used my Flipper Zero to read my cats' microchips 😮 Turns out the vet had them backwards in their file so I'm glad I was able to check!

Still blown away at how well my last video did, 54K views in a week, most of my videos have been averaging 2-5K views. Notably, I didn't do anything fancy with the production value either, once again proving that level of effort does not turn in to views.

I started reading Community care & relationship building combats burnout in political movements. Oof, it’s hitting hard, in a good way.
Strong relationships are the molecules that make up strong communities and strong communities are free. That should be our guiding light. Interdependence. To lay the soil for collective liberation, we need to build liberating relationships today where we enact and practice the values of the world we are building. The more we depend on each other for survival, the less we depend on the state and the more ungovernable we become. This is the fight. In the process of building life-sustaining relationships, we will dismantle systems, not the other way around.
This past Saturday: finished the #InsideTrail Redtail Ridge 30k #trailRace in 6:00:59.
A few notes:
This was my first trail race of 2024, and first in over 6 months, since last year’s Marin Ultra Challenge 50k and Broken Arrow 23k races in June¹. Saw pal Henri after changing into my trail shoes in the Lake Chabot Regional Park parking lot. The storms had scared many away, less than 100 showed up to the combined 30k & 50k start.
The muddy rainy adventure began when we veered off the initial paved trail around the lake and onto a rocky uphill stretch. It was mostly an out-and-back course, with a bit of a loop in the middle. On the second half of that loop there was one fork in the trail without race markings. After spending minutes taking a peek down both options, I guessed right. About a half mile later a wooden trail post validated my choice.
I kept a sustainable run/hike pace, with some sliding in the mud, stepping around many ruts and puddles of unknown depths. Slower finish than 5 years ago², yet this time with a negative split, and earned my first DLF award!

a couple months ago I started locking the cats in the bathroom while I prepare their food, otherwise they'd climb on top of me and eat it all before I could serve it.
But now they've started locking themselves in the bathroom in order to manifest food...
