I don't know how it started, but I have developed a habit of waking up every day with a song in my head. The song lodges there and sticks around for at least the morning. Sometimes, it's a pop tune, sometimes an aria, sometimes a showstopper from a musical. Today, it's "Lullaby of Birdland." Spare a thought for my wife, who has to listen to my humming. It's a great song. Here it is, for those who'd like to hum along. On piano: the great George Shearing. #Music #Jazz youtube.com/watch?v=7zJnoQiIqD

You are not your age, nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight, or the color of your hair.
You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks.
You are all the books you read, and all the words you speak.
You are your croaky morning voice, and the smiles you try to hide.
You're the sweetness in your laughter, and every tear you've cried.
You're the songs you sing so loudly when you know you're all alone.
You're the places that you've been to, and the one that you call home.
You're the things that you believe in, and the people whom you love.
You're the photos in your bedroom, and the future you dream of.
You're made of so much beauty, but it seems that you forgot
When you decided that you were defined by all the things you're not.

Since #dockerhub is purging a shitton of good projects for no reason other than the dedication to destroy the last good reputation that they have - where are the community hosted docker registries?

Does @Codeberg have one?

It's a probability pill. So, I would have to know if the odds are greater to become the first or the last. 😉

**Another perfect snowstorm to hit Toronto** Charles can't get any A-listers, but we're constantly getting A-list storms. Must be another 100 year record broken, or broken record...

Some years ago I read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and there was not a single named female character that was not cis. 😉
