I'm freaking out and all that I can think to do is to just be kind to people around me because nothing else seems to make a positive difference.

Stealth activist ♥️

What is possible will forever be at the mercy of sufficient forethought and perseverance.

Can we get an animated anthropomorphic fox in here to steal Christmas from the rich and give it to the poor?

As a child of the 80s I am still far too impressed by the latest in flashlight technology.

Today would be a wonderful day to just dissolve into the emotionally-charged negative space around unconventional yet thought-provoking architecture and elegantly fade from all human memory.

At least difficult isn't boring.

Just a cat enjoying a vitamin-and-chicken-broth-sicle.

I'm using 16 ounces of cat-safe chicken broth mixed with a vitamin C liquid supplement, an anti-hairball liquid supplement, and an anti-arthritis liquid supplement for the recipe, frozen in a silicon ice cube tray.

If you don't have MFA setup already, PLEASE do.

Hell, I will gift you and Tim a family Bitwarden sub and shiny new Yubikeys if that'll help.

Stay safe, please.

You both are so fortunate to have found each other.
I wish you both a lifetime together to experience that. ♥️

Perhaps time travel isn't so much impossible as it is inevitable.

For too long, Wisconsin SWers & trafficking victims have been UNABLE to SEEK EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES or REPORT AN ASSAULT w/o facing ARREST. Yesterday, @ryanclancywi.bsky.social introduced LRB-3611, a bill aimed to change just that—and make Wisconsin a safer place for everyone. #lrb3611

Mini Bundt cakes have just ruined cupcakes for me.
For the rest of my life, I will now look at every cupcake that crosses my path and despairingly question why it isn't a mini Bundt cake instead.

Didn't Bumble have something like this?

"They have slain the Earl o' Moray, And Lady Mondegreen."

I caught up on some quiet reading in the shade and a welcome breeze.

This part of the trail was closed for maintenance, so I'm fairly certain I'm not going to get in anybody's way sitting here.

Maybe 43 won't be all that bad.

After a wonderful birthday brunch with some of my favorite people (including the world's most adorable god-daughter), I drove to an out-of-way park and hiked the trails until I finally found a spot where all I could hear were birds, insects, wind in the leaves, and the creek.

Notes for potential genie wishes: have anyone who wages war fall asleep to the nightmares of survivors of war for as long as the war continues.

Government is (or should be) how we minimize suffering.
Politics is how we fuck that up. 😟

Still the best fidget spinner around.
There is something deeply cathartic about the lock popping open.

The Life of Chuck.
Wow.
Just... Wow.

With the way things have been lately, quietly fading away into nothing is becoming more and more appealing.

Yeah... I miss ringtones.
I'm old.

Ohhhhh, randomized code-switching!
I wish that science could get active MRI of their brains while it happens.

I know for certain that it is time for bed when I actually consider attaching the last slice of pizza to an email to keep it fresh until tomorrow.

It is certainly a bold skateboard design.
