azalea blooms and carpenter bees _already_???!
If you're familiar with Honest Government Ads, the 2022 Behind the Scenes video is hilarious.
If you're not familiar (get watching!): still hilarious.
Okay! I win! SSL certificate updated.
Must have been the beer.
Domain Certification Authority just threw 502 Bad Gateway at me when I went to enter the validation code.

This is a honey bee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds. Weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June.
Figured out my Telegram problem.
Telegram FOSS from F-Droid can't be used to commission a new mobile device because as part of making it FOSS, the Google Play bits get yoinked out, and that somehow disables the commissioning notification to the device.
I thought Telegram servers were getting an old mobile device involved. Got confused by some of the UI wording. Anyway, not the case!
Telegram question: How to decommission a previous device that no longer exists?

I actually find Amanda Gorman extremely challenging because on the one hand she's a brilliant writer -- I buy all her books, even the kids' stuff.
On the other hand her bookshelf is sorted by color.
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover
in every known nook of our nation and
every corner called our country,
our people diverse and beautiful will emerge,
battered and beautiful.
When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it,
if only we’re brave enough to be it.
--Amanda Gorman, The Hill We Climb

Here is an action item for you:
"If you or your family members don't have library cards then go out and get one. If they are fighting this hard against public education, then public libraries are next. They are already proposing defunding IMLS, which funds many libraries at the state level through grant funds.
Ah, added a bunch of fallback nitter instances, fixed it.
