What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy

If you want your Firefox windows to look like native GNOME/GTK windows (with rounded corners on all four sides):

about:config

2. In the search, enter:

rounded

3. Set the value of widget.gtk.rounded-bottom-corners.enabled to true

I think I just finished the tune selection for episode 168 of the podcast! Most people don't realise how much work it really is to come up with a selection that flows for roughly an hour, month after month, *every* month, especially when I don't repeat records as a matter of policy! Closing in on the fourteenth birthday of the show...continuing to build a solid body of work.

When driving, I was suddenly struck by a realization that there is one (more) thing about me that has been consistent going all the way back to my childhood.

Back in my junior high school days, my mother once (without my awareness or consent) arranged for me to have an "under-the-table" job getting paid $20 a week during the winter to get up early enough to stop on the way to school and sweep the snow from the entry area of a (admittedly rad) local bakery. She was very upset and confused when I said I was not interested, calling me lazy and inconsiderate.

What she did not understand, and what remains true about me to this day, is that I would gleefully pay $4 a day to get another hour in bed before having to get up.

Did I also make it a point thenceforth to stop in on my way to school to pick up a donut partially out of spite? Yes, yes I did. Because I'd also have paid $5 a day for more sleep, and their donuts were cheap.
