somewhat belated because we've been really busy again but! we have a docs page up and running, we have the email situation hopefully sorted out, and stuff is flowing again generally. things are going pretty good right now on the backend for Beehaw, i'd say, and hopefully that continues as the week progresses.

when things chill out i'm hoping to get back to finishing a few books which i was reading in May--this has been a full time gig basically, so i haven't had any real downtime. i only just got in some Stardew Valley last night.

Your last paragraph reminds me a lot of where I live in southeastern Ohio, especially that last sentence. It sounds like you all are doing great work. This was inspiring and motivating to read, thank you!

It was honestly humbling to be in that room. Here's all these different people with these different organizations with huge amounts of experience and training, then there's me, some guy. At the end the host asked if there was anything anybody wanted to add and one of the ladies from an org just says, "People are dying." with a flat tone. That hit everyone pretty hard I think. The mood was already somewhat somber before that. The kid who was killed had actually been attending the financial literacy class. Many of the people in that room knew him because they work at the highschool that he went to.
