Today in "Why Backups Are Good For You":

Who knew that trying to unf*ck a custom taxonomy to try to make the select work properly in the block editor would result in:

Surprise! Total borking of the site!

Man this is going to be a long process. And my hate for the block editor incraments by one for the second time today. There will be alcohol later.

Have I mentioned how absolutely hostile the WordPress block editor is? Because I feel like that needs to be mentioned again after I had to change a custom taxonomy for a post only to have to go through a bunch of crap just to get this thing back to being able to be edited in the block editor and then have to redo a bunch of blocks that just disappeared. Reasons why I hate the block editor incrament by 1.

Looks like we'll be headed home this afternoon. Power is back on and we will both be glad to be back in our environment. Also, I was today years old when I learned that we just experienced what amounts to a land hurricane. Complete with an eye and everything.
