Behold! It is my egg! ✨️🥚✨️

Woo! My new #MetaBrainz shirt has arrived! Now I have something fitting to wear as I add all the queer indie music to the system 🎶💅✨️ (Come check me out: https://listenbrainz.org/user/PupSniff/ )

Been doing some more cooking lately now that I'm doing my break from work.

Hello from #NoKings #Portland ✊️

Had a little extra time at lunch today and decided to have a quick look at the cherry blossoms at Waterfront Park in #Portland There's a good number in bloom but a lot more of the buds still haven't opened. I'm guessing this weekend will be peak.

Yay! I got a notif that there was a new track "Comedy 42" out by one of my favorite bands "Um, Jennifer?" so of course I had to buy it on #Bandcamp and add it on #MusicBrainz 🎶🤩🎶 https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/a1c55dfb-27b1-4576-b666-eb272828f2a7

Bah, I am not doing so hot on getting temperature sensors for my #HomeAssistant DIY project. This time I have the BME280 shuttle board (rather than just the sensor) but the pins are very tiny. Smaller than the jumper wire ports I have.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

Night two of #PDXWLF we went to the Electric Blocks in SE #Portland 🤩

The first night of #PDXWLF (Portland Winter Light Festival) was so fun! I somehow totally missed hearing about it last year and I'm glad I didnt miss it this time 🤩

Well, I did a bit of an oopsie trying to order sensors for the next step in my #HomeAssistant tinkering 😭 I tried to order a few BME280 sensors and some ESP32 Dev boards so I can get temperature and humidity in the living room, bedroom, office

I got an IR Blaster (i.e. Universal Remote) so that I can have #HomeAssistant control my heat pump. I thought I'd need to "teach" the IR blaster maybe three codes (Power, Temp Up, Temp Down). But no... it couldn't be that easy...

RE: https://mstdn.social/@Bellingcat/115957672014548440 These people have been doing forensic video and image analysis in war zones and protests for years. They're a great resource to cut through the propaganda and confusion.

It can be hard to follow what's going on with all the chaos in the US right now. One source I watch is Chris Geiner aka "Law Dork". He covers the issues of the day through the lense of all the court developments. Here's his latest: https://www.lawdork.com/p/the-ice-killing-of-alex-pretti-the

RE: https://pug.ninja/@motoridersd/115913171100662308 Ahhh! So many pups! 🤩🐶🤩 I love it!

I went to #FanExpo in #Portland and got a new batman duckie and a signed comic from Richard Fairgray 🤩

I made a breakie! Still working on my egg technique 😅

Been watching the #PDX city council vote over and over on council president and it's a 6-6 dead lock. How is there no tie breaker mechanism? I think they need do have a dance-off or something 🕺💃 reflect-opensignalpdx.cablecast.tv/cablecastapi...

Darmok and Gelato - they'll have flavors like "Shaka, when the carriage shook" (rocky road), "Luwani, under three moons (Neapolitan), "The herbs with pebbles strewn, in winter" (mint chocolate chip)

Testing to see if Skymoth cross posting to Bsky works. Have a Christmas eve taco 🌮

My #ListenBrainz #YearInMusic is very queer this year 🥰🏳️‍🌈

Chemex and blankie! ☕️🥰

I woke up at The Normal Time™️ despite the end of DST 🤔 I'm not sure how my circadian rhythm managed that one

Husband: *opens the blinds* Me: grr! the sun! it hits my eye balls. how can something be so annoying from so far away? Husband: 🤷‍♂️ Me: Do you think I annoy anyone from that far away? Husband (with zero hesitation): Yes.

The Portrait of Dorian Gray but it's a shitty iPhone whose screen is increasingly cracked, battery is decaying, and memory is filling up with the worst freemium adware imaginable

Fake pups out there trying to steal identities 😭🐶 be super wary of anyone trying to tell you to go to discord so they can connect you with bluesky support

Found some AI Slop on #Deezer on the page for #DorianElectra Same title as a real song but nonsense lyrics and obvious AI Art cover Guess there's scammers trying to steal listens 😬

Breakfast place idea: Griddle Me This - you only get your food after you are able to solve the riddle for the menu item you want 🥞🧩

Ahh! I'm so excited!

WSJ push just now.

“may every day be another wonderful secret”

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

Yesterday's noms

I could Not love this dog more 🥰 #Reddit #DogSky /NextFu**ingLevel

My doc had me shave a little patch of my beard and it looked goofy so my barber did a salvage job. I think I can live with it. Butch hipster? 70s pornstar? Spaghetti western villain? 🤷‍♂️

The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said, "The power of the people is greater than the people in power." This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward. “I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now. Here:

Heading from #Portland to #SanDiego and got to the airport in time for a pre-flight flight 😅

I had to walk A Little South for my mango matcha at The Great North

My #NewMusicFriday picks amidst all the Mayhem

A new duck has joined the bathroom ✨️🐤✨️

Got a cute Valentine's Day card from a lover in San Diego. I didn't intend to perfectly line up the pancakes with the lines on my shirt, and yet somehow I totally nailed it 🥞🤷‍♂️

Slushy outside in #Portland but I'm comfy inside in my jammies.

I had a really good Pistachio Rose croissant at Roseline on Alberta in #Portland I forgot to take a picture of it but you can have a fancy plate with crumbs and a shrug instead 🤷‍♂️

Dismayed that I am out of home coffee 😭 I put in a reorder at www.gayawakeningcoffee.com (yay local #Portland queer businesses!) And now I'm vibing with my friends at Jet Black in Concordia

Hah, oh man, I haven't posted here in a little bit, but maybe that will change? Anyway, here's some puppy pix 🐶

Let this go dormant for a while but maybe I'll revive it? 🐶 Also, I moved to Portland!
