The visual contrast here was appealing. I really love fall.

What's with that style of subtitles I've been seeing on videos lately, where each word pops into and out of existence individually as it's uttered in real time? Is that a TikTok trend? Subtitles are supposed to be an accessibility feature, but those look horrifically inaccessible.

Live footage of me hanging in there.

Would you listen to this album?

A member of Congress just stole my shopping cart. How's *your* day going?

When deejaying isn't paying the bills and you decide to just give up and go live on a farm... but a very small part of you holds onto the dream.

I haven't used Facebook in almost a year. You know what I really miss about it? Tag groups. It was so fun spending time in shitposting Facebook groups, tagging funny tag groups in the comments and finding all the other wacky tag groups other people were finding.

This morning, I was reminded that we live in a world where the word "Comirnaty" exists, and just... You ever have one of those days?

More pics from that camping trip! Milking it for all it's worth at this point. 😂 After a brief detour into BC, I came back across the border and went to Spokane. Camped the night on top of Mount Spokane, which had some gorgeous views.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I want to know which suit decided it was a good idea to train call center employees to answer the phone with "to whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?" I promise that no ties will be fed into any wringers. I just want to have a word with them.

Make sure you upgrade to the latest version of English for maximum security.

On my camping trip through eastern Washington and neighboring areas, I stopped for a few minutes in Greenwood, BC. I happened to notice this memorial that they very recently built, commemorating the Japanese Canadians who were forced to relocate to Greenwood during WWII.

There are so many funny people out there putting funny stuff on Bluesky, and the best I can come up with is, "Heh, you know why they call it 'sewing'? Because it's sew tedious! 😂 Thank you, I'll be here all week!"

All of my previous visits to Canada have been to Vancouver specifically, or at least would take me through Vancouver. I always make sure I have at least one helping of poutine at a place in Davie Village. This time around, this stop in Osoyoos had to do. 🤷‍♂️ It was alright though.

More highlights from my big trip. I said I was camping across eastern Washington, but I did pop across the border. It's hard to resist. Canada is just so pretty.

Why does Bluesky only let me post four images at a time? 😩 Anyway, more highlights from my big eastern Washington camping trip. See alt text.

I went on a big camping trip recently, mostly through eastern Washington. Here are a few highlights from the first day. More info in the alt text.

There's a Nissan Leaf and some kind of Toyota in this town that have "I bought this before Elon went crazy" bumper stickers, and like... What??? Okay???

Hey, did you know? If you have multiple Bluesky accounts, you can easily switch between them by long-pressing on your avatar in the bottom right corner. You're welcome. 😄

If you're a person, get the fuck out of here! No fireworks for you! 😤

I hope the person riding a motor scooter around Portland while wearing a trans pride flag as a cape is having a good day.

I wish there was a Magical Girl Show where they tackle Problems like Union busting, wage theft, The Rental Crisis, police corruption etc. Good Luck #LA

For the sake of my mental health, I've been very aggressively expunging all politics from my Bluesky. Unfortunately this has meant muting/unfollowing people I care about who are always sharing political content... and it just sucks so bad.

A few weeks ago, I camped in the Wallowas with some friends. It's so gorgeous over there! Wish I could have stayed longer.

Me, leaving home on an 80-degree day: "Oh, this isn't terrible. I'm not even sweating. This is kinda nice. Maybe summer won't be so bad for me this time around." Me, 30 minutes later: "SOMEONE SAVE ME, I'M STICKY AND DYING."

First bloom! 🤩

The camas plants I'm holding onto for a friend are almost ready to bloom! I'm so excited!

So you're telling me that a Kentucky fried this chicken?

They made grapes for gamers.

I have this brain worm that only gay people who use Linux will understand, and I have no one to share it with, and it's driving me up a wall, so I need to just let it out... YaST queen

My feeling when I learn how to create about 100 new folders in one fell swoop with a command prompt in Windows:

A selfie I don't feel too dissatisfied with. Huzzah!

Me: "Why do I always struggle to put my thoughts into words?" My thoughts:

Change these ad settings on Facebook/Instagram to make yourself less valuable to Meta. I was procrastinating on this for a while, but I finally did it, and it was pretty easy.

I bet this tastes decadent.

Me: "Wow, Microsoft Copilot is hot garbage. I'm getting myself far away from that." Me: *starts to set up Linux* At least two of the apps I require: "Oh sorry, I don't have a Linux client, but you can install me over on Windows!" Me: 🙃

Having a west-facing window seat on an evening flight is a real treat!

A friend who works for city parks dug up like a hundred camas bulbs (Camassia quamash) in one of the parks downtown. We replanted 50 of them today. First gardening experience!

I had the best time in LA last week! Just the break I needed from my seasonal-affective day-to-day routine. I couldn't have asked for better weather.

I literally *just* finished watching this @techconnectify.bsky.social video, and my algorithm is already screaming at me, "WATCH IT AGAIN!" 😂

I wonder how much money Big Meat invests in their marketing department.

Camas update: My first batch of seeds are *just* starting to germinate!

I got little dust booties for the grease fittings on my truck's tie rods and ball joints. They're so cute. 🥺

I've never grown anything in my life. I picked an unusual first project—camas (called "boqs" by the Klamath people of southern Oregon). I got dozens and dozens of seeds, most of which are now stratifying in the fridge. It'll be a few years before they're mature enough to produce flowers.

being gay is such cheat code because you realise all the rules and social construction are arbitrary and you can truly do whatever the fuck you want with your life while everyone else is just going through the motions to the grave

The flexibility of language is amazing.

I recently fixed a friend's Element. It sat for a year because the starter was bad and he couldn't afford to pay the dealership literally a thousand dollars to swap it. I thought, really??? That seems so ridiculously excessive for what should be a simple fix, why don't I just do it for you bro?
