"You're too wishy-washy to be Garamond" is a sentence I said to my cat.

Some days, you just need your cat accidentally hitting your PC's power button to tell you you've played enough Oblivion today 🤷‍♂️

Unironically said "howdy" to a coworker. Shit. I don't want to be a howdy guy.

@tkers.dev For some reason I find myself spending an absurd amount of time this week making a Gemini-friendly copy of my site.

Hey, remember that potluck I've been shouting about for the past month? It's here! Come check out the dishes created by some very fine people, visit their sites, and have fun! skep.place/events/potlu... #smallweb

Ah yes, the "women posing next to cement mixing apparatus" stock imagery theme

My current shortcut: 1. Go to ChatGPT 2. Ask literally anything 3. Find and copy an em dash.

But what if I already have the current shortcut written into muscle memory? www.theverge.com/news/767551/...

Skep's guide to staying sane using social media: -Curate your follows -Don't read the comments -Don't log in -Seriously, why am I here, why am I doing this to myself, why do I willingly submerge myself in the whirlpool of millions of voices desperately crying out for attention -Don't check trending

In my newest installment of Tiger Tracks, I kinda accuse Calvin's parents of being substance abusers. skep.place/tiger-tracks... #smallweb

You can tell it's a really beautiful morning outside because I hit four active work zones just driving to the grocery store.

@existentialcomics.com Joke's on both Pascal and Augustine. God's only qualification for getting into heaven is whether you slam the brakes for squirrels who run across the road.

We find ourselves in the current political climate because without a common enemy to rally against, Americans naturally turn against themselves. What we need is a new entity to channel our hatred towards. I nominate the shelf-scanning robot that putters slowly through the grocery store aisles.

Pumpkin spice already. It's the first week of August. They're doing to autumn the same shit they did to Christmas. Pretty soon we'll be celebrating all of our seasons three months ahead of when they actually take place.

I was going to make this post on Bluesky but it ended up being way too long, so now you have to go read it on my blog. skep.place/blog/2025-07... #smallweb

Suspense is just anxiety but more exciting

Pro tip: Instead of taking the time to send individual unsolicited DMs, try posting your unsettling desires publicly to efficiently achieve the greatest possible reach.

Work: Okay, for this task, you'll be working with HTML Me: Yeeesss Work: We'll start by opening the code in Microsoft Word Me: Nooooo

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? It was an episode of Nature about hummingbirds, so I guess I'm the hummingbird version of Aquaman now. Sick.

@toriaz.bsky.social Toriaz, thank you for being the silent but ever-present watcher who likes all my posts when nobody else does.

Nobody appreciates how hard I work on alt text.

The fact that the manufacturer included two remote controls in the box and is offering three years of free remote replacements if you register the product is not inspiring a lot of confidence.

I want to apologize to my parents for making them buy me a class ring back in high school twenty years ago. I never wore it and I don't even know where it is now. I'm still not planning on paying you back for it though.

Yes yes, by now we've all heard that you can tell an AI wrote something if it includes an em dash. For all us actual em dash lovers, my new blog post presents a solution so you never get mistaken for AI. skep.place/blog/2025-06... #smallweb #blog

"Stress can increase blood pressure. Do not take blood pressure readings during stressful times." Haha. Ha. Ha.

It's not the big, grandiose ideas; it's all the small little details that are actually completely bonkers when you stop to think about them
