As part of trying to get back to more valuable Fedora contributions, I'm going to try pulling my Fedora task management out of Todoist and into my bullet journal. Bullet journaling seems to have helped me for my personal life, so maybe it will help for Fedora as well.

I'm going to try something risky and intentionally follow news sources on social media. I don't want to be blindsided by triggering stuff, but bsky offers more tools for control than the mainstream sites. Will try to protect myself with that. News is irradiating, but I need to find a way.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”
