A morning stroll in Alabama.

Me whenever the weather gets even slightly gloomy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjco86ekIlQ For real though... I don't consider myself to be particularly prone to seasonal blues, but whenever I'm driving down a gray, ugly expressway with a gray sky and I'm surrounded by ugly city architecture that's either downright brutalist or adjacent, I start to think like this guy. I just remember that above it all, it's perpetually a bright, sunny day. Flying out of an airport under these conditions and emerging above the cloud layer into sunlight is downright cathartic.

The number of apps on my smartphone is at an all time low and the percentage of apps that are open source is at an all time high. I really should just make the switch to a pixel so I can use GrapheneOS.
