The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

I greatly enjoyed all three books in the Warden Series. You should read them so that @soundingline.bsky.social gets to make more.

I'm starting to think that I'm either immune to therapy or just failing at it. I never come away with an any huge, life-altering insights or with tears streaming down my cheeks.

Interested in oval chainrings? I have opinions.

I was overtaken by the snow-grooming machine (a Snowdog towing a weighted, grooved snowplow implement and its pilot. The groomed snow is far easier to navigate than the 1-tire-wide track left by other fat bikes.

Combining a larger handlebar-mounted headlight with a smaller helmet-mounted one was the correct choice, especially in tight, twisty sections of trail.

The snow was very wet, which made riding challenging. It was still fun, though.

I took Callipygia out for the first snow ride of the season today. It was great fun.

I know what we’re going to do today, Ferb.

So nice.

I love playing TTRPGs with people who throughly embody their characters and occasionally go "off-script" to do something the GM never imagined. I'm not a natural actor or improviser, and I'd like to improve my role-playing. I've been watching Critical Role to gather ideas, which might be 1/2

This is what generative AI does. Generative AI is late stage capitalism: commercialize artistic content, prioritize corporate brown slop, commodify the artistic process, and then automate it. Generative AI is the fruiting body of a mycelium network that has been consuming our society for decades.

So nice.

I’m doing a slow striptease on the trail as I warm up. Sadly, there’s no one here to tuck bills into my insulted pants.

I swear there’s a trail under these leaves somewhere.

First mountain-bike ride since the big crash! I admit the bar mitts look weird on a regular MTB, but there just isn’t enough snow to justify riding the fat bike.

I spent Friday riding a black mountain bike while wearing almost entirely black (with one dark-gray garment), so I'm feeling very called out.

Sadly, this Onion headline isn't even satire. It's funny because it's an accurate description of one of the many problems with American work culture.

Weirdly, the water park is quite dead today. And here I thought Michiganders were tough in the face of sub-freezing weather.

Big boat stuck!

There's a person who charges to all my projects whose contributions are not commensurate with how much they cost me. Unfortunately, it's me. Hi, I'm the problem. 👋

Nugget reaches peak cuteness about 2 weeks after he visits his hairstylist. He gets just scruffy enough in that time to push the envelope on canine adorability.

Each quarter, the provosts meet and vote to approve the proposals. That step is really a formality, because the real value is in the peer review from each campus' relevant department evaluating the proposal, plus the knowledge that the state doesn't get to dictate who gets what program.

Mia's discovered the path to enlightenment. Or at least reduced stress over one's appearance.

Amy Lee waits for the bus? Vibe. Amy Lee zones out while reading her news feed? Vibe. Amy Lee can't decide what to watch? Vibe.

Since I only play TTRPGs online, I absolutely don't need another set of dice. On the other hand, look how ✨pretty!✨

As a bass player, this headline speaks to me.

This is my favorite photo of my friend's shih tzu, Tucker.

More than a year ago, Nugget discovered he enjoyed lounging in a plastic bin we hadn’t put away yet. He still goes back to it daily. So now it’s officially a dog bed, and we can never put it away. We aren’t monsters, after all.

Thanks to everyone who welcomed me back from my hiatus. It was both surprising and heartwarming to know that my absence was noted.

c0nc0rdance has a great thread on phylogeny that explains why whales are fish, snakes are lizards, and humans are monkeys.

I’m confident Pope Leo dedicated his set to @velvethex7.bsky.social.

Me too!

I can't believe my org paid me to play with a fork truck today. I would have paid *them*.

Yet another way in which America is exceptional(ly bad) is that it is one of the few democracies that has never had a woman as head of government. Note that Japan elected a female prime minister after this map was made, bringing the total number of nations ever led by women to 61.

OK, I'm browsing online for swords. Are you happy now? 😉

After the positive response to this announcement, and at @nightpups.bsky.social's suggestion, we're adding another product to the line: * Tactical shortalls. With chest pocket, cargo pockets, and hammer loop. Available only in pink camouflage, so you know they're *super* tactical.
