I read more than 3 books in 2022. But not a ton more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things got busy again this year as everyone tried to ramp back up to some semblance of pre-covid work, with mixed results. I am currently working from home Monday and Friday, and we all went to the office 3 days a week for a few months, but right now I&#8217;m working those days from home too as a special 4 week program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post EM Twitter is really starting to suck, so I started following people on Mastodon a few days ago. A post I saw in both places this week said something along the lines of, &#8220;Posting on multiple platforms makes posting on any platform seem ridiculous.&#8221; I keep thinking of that every time I open either app, and I&#8217;m thinking of just walking away from both of them, like I have with Facebook, MySpace and Friendster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or here&#8217;s an embed of the actual post that will last as long as Mastodon does, I guess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@scottjshapiro\/109406196225802885\/embed\" class=\"mastodon-embed\" style=\"max-width: 100%; border: 0\" width=\"400\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><script src=\"https:\/\/static-cdn.mastodon.social\/embed.js\" async=\"async\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of which led me back here. Good ol&#8217;, consistent WordPress. And, since I&#8217;m mainly posting in all of these places for an audience of myself (and my mom [hi mom] and possibly one or both of my weird nephews [hi weird nephews]) it makes sense to do it in a place that will be around in 20 years, so the whole, long record can be read after my passing to substantiate my mental decline and invalidate my will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh look, we just got a dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
