Happy one year!

YES! OMG. I’m so grateful I work from home but when I have to go in to my doctor’s office it can take an hour to get from downtown Beaverton to downtown Portland. 😣

Voodo doughnut is good and fun but I do really miss the Holy Doughnut.

One of the things I did notice from my time living in Maine, it takes longer to get around out here.

It can be really nice out this way. There are a lot of good people out here too.

Happy Friday!

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

You’ve had my vote for Empress since 2024, but I do have questions about implementation.

Is this a training program? An application process? A royal draft?

And is the final exam opening a pickle jar with one hand without breaking eye contact?

The Hat is sooooo worth it though...

You always write things that leave me sitting with my own heart for a bit. this one really got me.

Once,
I was the kind of girl
Who thought asking less
Made me easier to care for

I flirted with
Anorexia of the heart
Starving myself
On crumbs of affection

I was not
The most beautiful
Or
The most brilliant
No
I was simply
The one
With no demands

What a foolish way to love

Oh, there’s no help for you now. Witch Hat Atelier is simply too precious. Welcome to the club.

Not to mention the pliant concourse of people still stuck in Google Docs and its sad little cousins?

Why does writing software feel so much worse now?
I like Obsidian, but we solved some of these problems already. In college I used LaTeX, and it was elegant: define `\newcommand\bartender_name{Mia}`, use it throughout the draft, and if the name changed, it changed everywhere!

the utter capitalist brain rot of American culture cannot be understate

Hey I know Easter is a painful holiday for a lot of my queer friends.

One of the two days a year when your family pretends Christianity is about repentant sinners instead of zealously punishing faggots.

Here's a thread to help you survive the coming morning.

Hey fellow Oregonians… I know there is a lot going on right now. I know you’re just as tired as I am. This is important too.

Public comment is open until march 23rd.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

They claim,
All of this
Is an illness...
Then I would assert,
Our Suicides
Are Socratic.
A forced reprieve
From the curse
Of Asclepius.

With each innocent
Sacrificed
To the Courts
Of Public Opinion
The refrain
Will ever be the same
"Don't Forget
To Pay the Debt"

Goodnight Bluesky, find trouble, start mischief, change things up a little

"bluesky is not the commons"

no, but ATproto could be

learn about what we're trying to build, and how we're trying to build it

we can put the power of tech and the internet back into the peoples' hands

it's not there yet, but we can get it there

This is a great idea! I need to try this.

Re-teaching myself how to draw for a project that I am working on day #1:

Magpie Blep

Picture of a black and white corgis giving the camera woman the side eye with her tongue hanging out.

The look of betrayal when I accidentally wake her up from her nap.
