I wish I had the life I have at 46 in my twenties and thirties. Or less aches and pains now.

I'm at the combination

Good morning for listening to Vektor. youtu.be/eOBBtOWGEfI?...

Having knuckle tattoos makes taking pointless pictures of your hand more fun. Everything is slightly threatening when your knuckles say “RIOT” on one hand.

Sonic is hit or miss for me, but Sonic Superstars is a hecking blast.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

*that* is the context you should be viewing the student’s mom’s “defund the university” comments in. it’s not just about hurting a single trans grad student (though that would be bad enough); it’s about ripping away one of the few places trans Oklahomans can grow. it’s about forcing them to leave.

I think some necessary context non Oklahomans are missing with the OU story is that, for all of its many faults, OU is pretty easily the most liberal large public university in the state. Norman is as much of a safe haven as you can get for queer and trans Oklahomans leaving home for the first time.

The oil isn’t cured but enough to handle, and this is what it looks like together with some linseed.

Last year his estate donated the royalties for Last Christmas to his charity that offers funding for LGBTQIA+ orgs and they said they'd do it again this year. Listen to it loads!

Langston.

I have X-men eyeliner makeup for some reason

A fun thing you can do is design a cabinet without thinking about where it will go and then figure out how to hang it after the fact, when it really wants to go on a shelf.

This song has been used on Tik Tok multiple times but spam accounts that must just be latching onto the title “Young and Beautiful” and then throw it over supplement ads? It’s hilarious

The oil isn’t cured but enough to handle, and this is what it looks like together with some linseed.

Whaddya call those little brass frames you slide cards into? I wanna have nice little labels for what’s inside each drawer

Fit the drawers a bit better and added the first coat of linseed oil. I might shellac the mahogany, I dunno. Maybe just finishing wax. I need to scrape and re-oil some of the drawer fronts where they’re a bit blotchy but yeah, I’m liking this

Still need to trim the moulding and finish, and I may reglue one piece, but yeah, it’s all a thing now. Finish tomorrow most likely.

Dry fitting the molding.

Hide glue is fun and advantageous when you’re doing a rub joint with tiny parts and tacking it in with brads. It’s less fun when you’re scrambling to pound together some tight hardwood dovetails. That said, runners are on and case is glued. A bit of cleanup and molding will go on, and then finish!

Good mourning, it's Black Friday youtu.be/S_1dHzlWzns?...

Victor should create the monster in his apartment, immediately regret it and go out bar-hopping, come home to find the monster gone and then forget all about it. Like in the book. This castle & torture stuff is not better. You think you’re a better writer than Mary Shelley? You are not.

I'm at work (the factory never stops) and what I was hoping would be an easy day is fighting us every step of the way.

to a freak like me, the classic sega arcade game is just "taxi"

Just call us the t-slur at this point. I’d respect that more. www.erininthemorning.com/p/bbc-now-ca...

It's wild to see praise heaped on cis folks who continue to love their trans parent/sibling/child etc after they come out. Not disowning a loved one is the bare minimum. It's literally the least you can do to not be a total POS. Being seen in public with them is not a qualifier for sainthood.

Disco Elysium is like Radiohead was to me twenty years ago, it’s probably great but the fans are so annoying they’ve turned me off ever doing a deep dive

The song titles don’t line up right on the Apple Music version of the 108 collection which is annoying

Knife some pegs and use the drawer grooves to hold them and plane to fit. Now I have runners to tack into the case.

Cut list for the runners. This project would be easier if I let myself use plywood.

I’m just so damn happy with where this is going. I’m pretty proud and can’t wait for it to be finished.

I’m a schlub today and my oil rags still aren’t dried enough to throw away.

Starting to look like something. Constructed without electricity other than the lights, and with traditional techniques except for a drop of CA glue when I couldn’t be arsed to heat up the hide glue again.

It’s trying to make its way back to me and is now in Hawaii

Smells like linseed oil, Evapo-rust and WD40 in the workroom right now and I kind of love it.

In the process of restoring my vintage mitre saw, I learned about a steel disc for mounting the stops to the bed that the oldest ones often had - so now I have a piece of mild steel cut to a 1" circle, a 1/4-24 tap and die, and strips of nickel to home plate the finished piece. This is my brain.

Saw these guys at a show last night and they’re so good and scratch an itch for the some of the melodic hardcore I listened to in the late 90’s underground that I didn’t know I missed docrime716.bandcamp.com/album/caught...

The base on my Stanley 358 mitre box was chewed up enough it was becoming annoying so I made a new one out of some mahogany I re-sawed the other day.

Went over the video I took to show how I stick a molding and like there's just way more cleavage than needs to be in there, I'm just going to record another video the *next* time I stick a molding, but in a different shirt.

I have narrow feet & as I break in a pair of shoes they inevitably get pulled in quite a bit (on some shoes the two sides meet rather than showing the tongue underneath) so the laces end up too long. I cut them but then they annoy me - is it silly that I’m debating buying an aglet applying tool

Update on this little collection of drawers that I’ve been discovering in the scrap wood. I’ve been really freeform in my design process for this and it’s very not period correct or anything. I wasn’t sure the number of drawers or the layout until today and the reeding on the sides was a late add.

Oh my god, Tabitha begging to be let out on the porch and then the noise she made when she realized it was still cold.

I need an outfit to go out to a show tonight, and I have Ideas but then I remember what I actually look like now and I just really need to learn how to dress as a 46 year old.

they finally fixed this and now aliases match the color of the original folder.

Tracking some supplies I ordered; they started in Ohio, made it to Springfield Mass and then Nashua NH - cool, should be here any day! Today I check, they have arrived at a USPS facility in Guam? !

It’s really weird to realize I’ve work so long at the factory that ideally I have fewer years ahead of me before I retire than behind me since I started. Having the same job since you were 18 is wild.

i feel about men the way sports fans feel about their losingest team. not a lot of hope in my heart but dammit i’m rooting for ya!

A person using chatgpt will never get better at the activity than they were the day before they started using it. They will literally have removed learning, and gaining experience, from the process in a way no actual tool does.

The twelve in a row headstock is insane.
