In the office digital signboard rotation is a QR code and the caption “Know your routes. Scan here for directions in case of emergency.“ How is this useful? In an emergency, even if you have time to scan a code, it is likely the signs, network, or people’s mobile devices will not be working.

I always roll my eyes at these “This billionaire says work-life balance is stupid” articles. Not because they espouse obsessively loving what you do, that’s fine if it’s your bag. It’s that they all presume that everything that is not their work magically gets done.

Going on a cruise in 2 weeks and getting increasingly excited.

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

What's your favorite bible verse? (Wrong answers only) “Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them…”

Did I like these M.A.S.K. toys for the vehicles or the characters they came with? It’s a mystery.

Wow that went sideways real quick.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Not that I have any reach, but if you are going to this event or any other that treats people like this then you should cancel and demand a refund. Do not give your time and money to people that are shitty to people. Doubly so when they are shitty to artists and their own communities.

Ozzie loves to stalk the ducks when they come by our pool in Spring.

Dear Shrinking, Thank you and fuck you for making me cry again.

Comment re: Israel passing a law to execute Palestinian prisoners “But it’s ok because it’s only for Palestinians that killed Israelis, not if they kill other Palestinians.“

I‘m not sure if I’m neurodivergent or not. [feels compelled to go to the same restaurant and order the exact same thing multiple days in a row] The signs just aren’t that clear. [Hyperfocuses on a hobby for a week, then shifts to another] It’s just a mystery. [Gets confused by small talk] Weird

Mary had a little lamb, its soul as black as coal. And everywhere that Mary went, sorrow too would go. Mary knew the lamb’s designs, and wanted no more part. She took the beast behind the shed; cut out its wicked heart.

I do clean up a little sometimes

A coworker was chatting about how much they like CP and I was getting increasingly disturbed until I realized they meant CoPilot.

*Esquie voice*: Time for swim-swim!

I’ve got my knee propped up. I have my company logo blankie across my lap. Everything I need for now is reachable from my desk. Even a hint of the requisite green clothing for the day. Let’s work, I guess.

Someone is happy I’m stuck on the couch.

My knee has been stiff and swollen for a few days now with no clear reason. I’m really hoping this isn’t the start of the horrible arthritis like my grandmother suffered for decades.

Oof. I just can’t handle that dance floor fog machine stuff. Makes my throat close up and I lose my voice. To make matters worse, it’s both mentally and physically distressing. Literally the same sensation as when I’m having a bad nightmare, trapped between sleep and waking, and can’t speak.

My accomplishment for the week: My knitting skills have increased, I now know how to Norwegian purl.

Went to get my beard trimmed. This barber has definitely earned my future business.

Humanity is gone. Its great works lie in ruin; strewn across a devastated landscape. This is where your story begins. Can you adapt? Can you rebuild what was destroyed? Can you uncover what annihilated an entire civilization?

Depression. From my own experience, even though i know the shitty thoughts in my mind are lies, they're comforting. It's a false sense of security to look at life through a singular lense of despair because at times having hope is painful.

Living in the fear that every piece of literature and art will be “remastered” by AI and presented as definitive while the original unaltered versions are memory holed and erased.

Wait. Could I cosplay as Nus Braka? If I had the prosthetics and the wardrobe and. Oh right, I don’t any of that. Just the salt and pepper facial hair and resting bitch face. Maybe I could just go around criticizing the Federation and manipulating people.

Has anyone drawn Aquaman with a shirt that reads: MEN FEAR ME FISH WANT TO BE ME If not, why?

I think it would be fun to have a piebald pup hood with one floppy ear and one erect and name myself Scruffles.

Totally did the cliche put the garbage outside the hotel room and let the door close behind me routine. Thankfully, I‘m in gym clothes and not my underwear.

Almost 6 months since last beard shave or trim (8/18/25) Also, hotel lighting, blah blah blah.

I’m in California on business but can’t really take advantage because there is a lot of business to do and it’s all inconveniently scheduled. Time off is only happening with last minute notice (like today) and all I want to do is nap. However, the money will be worth it.

Rewatching She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and my love of my AuDHD queen, Entrapta, has been thoroughly renewed.

If you want Girl Scout cookies, consider buying from one of the trans and nonbinary scouts on this list: www.erininthemorning.com/p/2026-trans...

There is a bunch of unclaimed yarn and notions laying around the office from a learn to crotchet event and I’m resisting the urge to turn into a crow and collect all the bits of string and shiny things for my own.

Maybe this is a galaxy brain take but could the name Rost in Horizon Zero Dawn be a bastardization of Aristotle? There is an audio note at one point that one of the Lyceum guides for the children was called Aristotle. Is there an intentional parallel there?

Either I have a thick neck or off the rack button up shirts aren’t really meant to be buttoned up all the way.

It’s a squirrels running around in my head day. Not good for productivity.

Today me vs 2016 me in the year I would not pick a lane with the beard length.

This morning’s random thought: Webcomics lost to time. Anders Loves Maria - Most of it is lost and probably never to be recovered but what has been restored is here: anderslovesmaria.com

Sort of want to dye my beard an unnatural color. Like dark blue. Just for giggles.

Every relationship consists of one person who throws dishes into the first open spot they see in the dishwasher and another person with a very specific optimized dishwasher loading strategy that rearranges every dish and utensil their partner added.

Beard status 127 days since last shave and barely brushed.

My yearly watch Klaus and cry for the holidays has been completed. For good measure, I also watched Nimona again and had a double feature of movies that put me in my feels.
