French communists celebrate a whole week #internationalwomensday
from the Black Panther Party #InternationalWomensDay
when you listen to something called "pedal point blues" but you've got no idea as to whether it uses an actual pedal point or not

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
[...]
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back

but like, vipgq is a great combo because it selects a paragraph and automatically wraps it to default 80 columns or whatever textwidth is set to. really handy for keeping everything at 72 cols.
which is a roundabout way of saying i'm a big dork who loves to use big words abt tech
hrm, might need to update the vim autoformatting rules for troff so i can just vipgq without it breaking citation macros by putting them in with text.
that's the second visible dent i've put in the drywall by accidentally hitting it with my thinkpad
idea: a zine about cute animals, each author gushes abt one for however many words they'd like

i'm re-discovering the magic of writing in a markup language, without running an entire massive piece of software augmented with packages
wow, refer(1) is so much easier than anything that TeX or LaTeX has. just running the file through a quick preprocessor once instead of like, five consecutive compilations to figure out numbering etc.
