Because we're heading into the home stretch of the 2020 Presidential campaign in the United States, we have the usual discussion in the air of why we're choosing between *these two guys*, with some trying to (blindly) claim that there's no difference between the two of them. That leads to the broader question of why the parties are so "out of touch" with their constituents.

Spoiler: It's because you make your voice heard in precisely the places the parties don't and can't look. But let's break it down, anyway. I'll try to keep it short, though.

Yep. No holidays. No birthdays that caught my interest. It's just the last day of August, meaning we're entering the season of decent holidays. OK, that's actually not true. There are quite a few regional and diaspora-based holidays. It's also [Alma Mahler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alma_Mahler)'s 141<sup>st</sup> birthday, which is fun, but licensing would forbid me from embedding Tom Lehrer's [song about her <i class="fab fa-youtube"></i>](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL6KgbrGSKQ).

But tomorrow? Tomorrow is [Emma Nutt Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Nutt#Commemoration), celebrating the world's first female telephone operator. Things look up quickly, in other words.
But tomorrow? Tomorrow is [Emma Nutt Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Nutt), celebrating the world's first female telephone operator. Things look up quickly for September, in other words. OK, sure, I could've gone with "Emma Nut Eve" like I've done for other holidays, but that sounds silly and I *really* liked that header image.

In any case, just a short update.
## Uxuyu
As I suggested [last week]({% post_url 2020-08-24-music %}) and probably in weeks before, this week has gone almost entirely to setting up [**Uxuyu**](https://github.com/jcolag/Uxuyu) to store twtxt messages as they're received. It's not complete, but I've laid the groundwork, so it should be easy from here. Some of it involved refactoring so that I could reuse existing code, but mostly it was just making space in what's now a general database thread and getting the information there.
And...that's it.
## Next
I finally decided to make saving twtxt messages to the database an optional feature, turned off by default, so I'll probably start slowly working the required infrastructure into place in stages that won't break anybody's experience.
Now that I have gotten the foundation for the feature settled, the big job is going to be implementing and testing the code to store the messages.
To be serious about the URLs being the "keys," the mentions should probably search for them, too. A useful side-effect of that change would be that a user could (in theory) rename people's handles locally to distinguish between people with the same handle, without fouling up any of the other information.
After that, assuming another project doesn't come up, I need to adjust the mentions to look for the user's URL and maybe think about implementing the avatars. I don't expect that either would be difficult, but just needs me (or someone else, if you're volunteering...) to pay attention.
