A small purple garden flag that says, “my mom says we can start a revolution if it’s ok with your mom”

New garden flag dropped. Long live the matriarchy!

A calendar shows the month of April. The character stares at it with sudden recognition. Zoom in on the 20th with the text bubble “it’s 4/20!” The character does a dance wearing sunglasses and says “ha ha. Niiiiiiice!” A rabbit near by says “you have literally never done a single drug in your whole life.” The character continues dancing and says “I know”

I took the winter tires off my car this past week so I recognize it's my fault that it's snowing. Please be kind to me today, Minnesota.

The cover art for the game Myst. But instead of the title written as a stylized “MYST” it’s written as “WHAT” with the subheading at the bottom saying “The Fuck Does This Lever Do I've Been Stuck Here For 3 Hours”

Stock art from the game Guess Who. But over one player’s head, Samuel L Jackson from Pulp Fiction is pasted, with the text bubble “does he look like a bitch”

Toby stands next to my computer, staring intently

I'm being told it's time to go for a walk.

I just got a notice from the library that the 5 DVD collector's edition of the 1985 version of Anne of Green Gables that I put on hold is available!!!! My weekend is going to be a GODDAMN BARN BURNER!!!! Happy sigh, libraries are magic.

A photo featuring a bunch of chocolate chip cookies all with different looks. It says, “oops you added too much….” And then next to each cookie is something like butter or baking soda. The last cookie is the one ring, and you added too much “cruelty, malice, and the will to dominate all life”

A standard street sign showing a person flying off a bicycle that has someone lost a wheel.

I'm not fully sure the circumstances this sign is elucidating, but I can tell you I won't be riding my bike here, that's for sure.

The fool tarot card with the young person dreamily stepping off a cliff while a dog tries to intervene.

Current status.

An image abbreviating this scene from Parks and Rec. April: So you know how you love me because you haven't had A single meeting with anyone since I became your assistant? That's because every time someone calls And requests a meeting with you, I always schedule it for March 31st. Ron: Why? April: Because I didn't think March 31st existed. ♪ 30 days has September, April, March, and November ♪ Ron: June and November. Today is March 31st. April: I know. Ron: So then how many meetings do I have today? April: 93.

Throwback to college when I thought "OG" was used for "original" in the same academic sense that "e.g." was used for "exempli gratia." Therefore "OG" was scattered, without irony, all throughout my notes.

Is there anything quite as wonderful as a Bill Bryson book?

The local newspaper has good highlights of the NoKings flagship rally in St. Paul yesterday. Organizers say over 200,000 people joined. Can confirm the vibes were fantastic.

It was cool to see Bruce Springsteen play Streets of Minneapolis today!!!

I’m holding a sign that says, “Jack said: l'm King of the world? Rose said: No room on the Door!!"

Bernie Sanders speaking at the rally

A group of smiling protesters

A porta potty with a homemade sign that says “trump tower”

#NoKings St. Paul!
Bernie, Springsteen, Jane Fonda, and 200,000 friends.

For the first time I get to do WWDC as a third-party developer!!! How to celebrate both this, as well as my 40th birthday? OBVIOUSLY we are throwing a party. Be there or be a RoundedRectangle.

Not me standing just a little too close to strangers at the airport because I'm trying to see what book they have tucked under their arm.

A picture of a cozy looking house in the evening with a full moon over it. Then a close up of the moon. Then back to the house with a text bubble that says “oh no!”. Then a picture of a warehouse under the moon.

I just watched a pilot buy a TSA worker's coffee and thank him sincerely for being there. It made me kind of weepy.

Project Hail Mary was 11/10 stars.

(The movie. I've read the book like 6 times and it is also 11/10 stars, but that's old news)

Very much!

Harrison Ford in a still from The Fugitive, walking in the St. Patrick’s Day parade looking deeply uncomfortable.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Two white rocking chairs sit outside, each with about a foot of snow on the seat.

You guys wanna come over and have a cup of tea in the rocking chairs on this nice spring Sunday afternoon?

A colorful marketing image from Tropes and Trifles. It says “Happy snow day! Due to the winter storm, the store is CLOSED today, Sunday 3/15. Use code GETPLOWED for 15% off all online purchases through midnight! See you back in the store Tuesday, 3/17!”

The local romance bookstore's discount code.

A view through a window of a crew of men wielding shovels and snow blowers unloading from a truck.

Me seeing the snow removal guys show up: “is this how Rapunzel felt?”

A snowy street, trees sagging under the weight

A snowy yard, the only color an “abolish ICE” flag.

Remember last weekend when I was drinking kombucha on a brewery patio?

Oh Minnesota.

Around 8 inches of snow so far. 6-10 more forecast for today, followed by 60mph winds.

I am going to use this blizzard to make some serious moves in Rollercoaster Tycoon, that's for sure.
