I’m pretty sure, earlier in my life, this would have been only a step above letting the flag touch the ground, in terms of disrespect. (It IS still disrespectful, isn’t it?)

My favorite trait I have is the ability to wake up at 3am after a large social gathering and rehash everything I said or could have but didn’t say. It’s always productive and never do I regret the lost sleep.

Workshop sample is complete!

Okay need to hear this on the dance floor with some dumb gay guys ASAP

I don’t understand the point of reposting your own post every few hours. Like, I’ve seen it. Five times now. Just… stop?

This scene never made sense. I appreciate the inner dialogue Brendel provides.

I wish I was in France to see these. Congrats, Libs!

The flavor profile is a little different, but still very acceptable. I put it into an older Everclear bottle on-hand (from when I made my own limoncello). I used Iowa-made, store-bought limoncello instead of lime juice because I needed to keep the alcohol percentage up so it doesn’t freeze.

I got this book and it’s just right for my interest in a drink that’s not water that’s readily available. After this and last week, I’m using this book as a guide to attempt a bottle of Good Life. Because choices.

I just rewatched this and I’m feeling better, like it has always done.

I was going to write my screed against AI, but this single paragraph from this article does it for me. (I’ll probably still write my own AI-and-not-I post.) www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

I wish “right?” as a filler word would die forever. Let’s go back to “umm”. “Right?” implies active agreement from the audience when that’s not always the case.

All I want is a cookbook that is plant-forward, has chicken or fish but not pork or beef, and only uses ingredients readily available in Iowa. That’s all. I’m not asking much.

Perfect description of *OS 26.

So happy this arrived in the mail today. Can’t wait to get reading. Thanks for your part in bringing this to be, @aketchum22.bsky.social.

A 🧵 of screenshots from iOS 26 installed onto an empty iPhone 12 mini, as I try out different things before and after signing into my Apple account. (Spoiler, it completely reinforces my choice to not install 26 on any to-keep-around device I own.)

My devices had been set to not autoupdate to the next OS, but I forgot about my AppleTV. I caught that in time. And then I checked the rest of my devices and the setting had reverted to autoupdate. Check yours in case you also don't want *OS 26.

Last year Betty Crocker shrank the size of their cake mixes. Decades of cake-mix-based recipes are now broken. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ar...

Finally switched from Label to Hide. Way past time. Glad to have this: @labeler.antisubstack.fyi

Main Character Energy had a warm response last night. I’m happy to have these quilts out in the world. benmillett.us/blog/main-ch...

Tired of hearing about my quilts? I didn’t think so! Here’s an interview I had with PRINT Magazine.

Sometimes I forget how much I enjoyed marching band, and then I see something like this.

Anyone want this copy of the book? I’ll cover shipping. I think last year, I could have handled it. This year, I can’t deal with story after story of misbehaving (even if they are queer people). More info: bookshop.org/p/books/be-g...

We’ve got to have more candidates than this one, right? Right?

He died doing what he loved, promoting hated and violence against those he considered lesser. ⚰️

Can everyone please just shut the fuck up

I can’t decide if QuickTune or Music MiniPlayer is my favorite. So I have them both open.

I’ve been in a pretty shit mood today, for a multitude of reasons. After leaving the office, this particular drink isn’t going to fix me, but I’m elated to learn that you can indeed get a nitro (with pumpkin cold foam) as a Tall. You don’t have to be forced into a Grande! The Tall is so precious!

It really makes Ben from the Aughts super sad that I won’t be updating any of my devices (hardware or software) this year.

Too many people trying to be clever right now.

Went into the grocery store and these ended up in the cart. 1000% should have left them both in the store.

gay enough I instantly knew just how I wanted to cut this

Ready for Friday.

✅ Covid vaccine ✅ Flu vaccine No issues getting these at CVS on Merle Hay/Douglas.

Almost ready to stretch/staple some (twelve) quilts.

Has Christmas in July just been a decades-long push to get us to accept July in Christmas? Because I refuse.

Preview of things in the works.

Oh no. I was asked to share my reasons for not using GenAI with some coworkers (who I trust) and after sharing many of my disparate thoughts, I am now compelled to compile a single document of why I refuse to engage with GenAI. Damn you GenAI for stealing my energy!

I shouldn’t treat this as a diagnosis just because I’ve thrown out easily 50 pounds this year alone, right?

The way Wesley and Taffy talk about SATC and AJLT makes me want to watch the shows. But I know that I will not have the experience that they had, because watching them for the first time as a fortysomething will just hit different.

It had to be done.

In ten days time, you can see twelve quilts inspired by green non-main characters. You can even bring one home with you for a reasonable price. 12 September, 7-10pm 4815 Grand Ave (park at the Art Center’s Rose Garden lot)

I printed out a calendar of September and October to mark out when I needed to do what to meet upcoming deadlines. I don’t want to jump ahead, even if I have the time, so I don’t add stress to myself, but this weekend I just bit the bullet and finalized these zines. Ready six weeks early.

I want this, but also I don’t care about Star Wars enough to actually display it.

I recognize that people want different things for weddings. But I’m still mad? flabbergasted? confused? that you’d have so many people in your wedding party (it was about 20?) that you’d need this to transport everyone just to get photos.

And who is it that’s pushing GenAI to increase productivity, when we’re already not compensated for our current productivity?

Update! Off and away it goes.

Honestly how fucking dare he

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows ever become not a slog to work through? I know I’m not helping by side questing every (literally every) stupid thing (as I do in every game), but gosh this is not fun.
