Plan:
All the latest Twitter hullabaloo has me feeling nostalgic for shared unix 
systems. Shouldn't we just be micro-blogging and blogging with a more punk 
aesthetic? 

& can read my plan from my raspberry pi & (if you are reading this) update from
the terminal too. 

Week 44 of 2022. (Sun 6th Nov...)

Reading:

# Negentropy

https://phys.org/news/2021-03-concept-physics-negentropy-life-smoother.html 
but is this not just 'make things better organised' by another name?

# Le Guin's "The Fisherwoman's Daughter"

What a funny, reflectively and insightful essay, on balancing parenting and
writing.

- "Babies eat manuscripts. They really do."
- "That's just the flip side of the theory that books come from the scrotum."
- "I work the way a cow grazes."
- "The one thing a writer has to have is not balls. Nor is it a child-free
space.
... The one thing a writer needs to have is a pen and some paper."
- "but no artist can work well against daily, personal, vengeful resistance. And
that's what many women artists get from the people they love and live with."
