Drove behind a Waymo through Columbia Circle yesterday. I'm assuming there was a driver, as it actually made it through the rotary. @universalhub.com

When I stretched my lobes to a baby big gauge 25 (!!) years ago I was cool and edgy and even had to hide them at work. Now no one notices or cares!

I need to get good at something new

Most everything is terrible so I bought my wife flowers.

Buying used clothing from a curated vintage store is not thrifting and I will fight you on this.

I had a dream last night involving multiple brown 80's crock pots and Dayton pastries. How can I now be expected to parse spreadsheets and employment verifications

My wife and I were looking up the 5 natural features in the US with genitive apostrophes and John E's Tug Hole is my favorite. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E%...

The crocuses that survived the squirrels were open and happy today!

Suck it Alan, I've been in the owner's box!

The trouble with museum artifacts is that they either have completely innocuous reasons for being in a collection or the most devastatingly depressing reasons you can imagine. There is no in-between. www.si.edu/object/hinge...

This is me except doing dishes. I'm always using that art history degree

Feeling very elder millennial; so few blogs seem to run RSS feeds anymore.

10 years ago I was working in a conservation lab, so close to exploring my dream but it was clear to me I couldn't continue financially. So here I am, trying to find something else to pique my interest

Listened to this with the trucks splashing through the potholes in front of my house. Making stuff is good, friends

If you know me, you know I love this musical so much

I hate that we're negged into being the most boring versions of ourselves

I'm going to paint designs on my fence this spring. It's all I've been thinking of Folk flowers in white or modernist geometry, I haven't quite decided I want to see white brushstrokes against the finally grey wood Left to weather these past two years

Freas Forever

There are so many HR professionals who have to manage laying off good people, this would be a treat

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

Maybe shouldn't have told my co-worker I think about being a tug boat captain every day

I desperately want to go sledding in the cemetery but it's not the best idea for my barely healed foot

My wife got started with the snowblower in the driveway @universalhub.com

I had another existential crisis in a thrift store and think i need to find a different no/low cost soothing activity.

I had a dream I worked at another start up with a lot of former startup co-workers. They got together and got me a cart of books, a bag of pastries, and everyone thrifted a shirt for me! Someone had still left a rotting pumpkin in the supply closet

GOVERNMENT IS A BURDEN ON THE PEOPLE

The furnace clicking on sounds like a mouse and this cat is here for it

The show "To My Best Friend" at @icaboston.bsky.social, writes Lauren Kaufmann, is a fair reflection of the museum’s desire to spotlight work by artists who have traditionally been neglected by the museum world. artsfuse.org/323490/visua...

15 year old me is DYING from excitement

It bums me out that you can't reliably pick up a flat cotton sheet at the thrift store anymore.

How to style this cardigan to say sexy but also nonchalant but also singular but also trenchant but also holy fuck they’re arresting journalists.

I've never appliquéd anything, but adding Abolish Ice to this quilt top seems like a good place to start!

More ways to help: Stand With Minnesota. How you can tell this is a local MN thing: “We are now just two ladies running this thing as volunteers, so please be patient.” [standwithminnesota.com]

I still have a broken foot, but I'm there in spirit

Doing my part with a cat picture in these shitty times

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

Tubi has deportation ads, c'mon no :(

I still can't walk around much and now my eye is cloudy again? I would like to try something else please

Inspiration for continuing lampshade vibes all the way up my body.

This is my blood

Like there’s a ton of individual issues but the broader problem is that there’s an assault on giving a shit about anyone besides yourself, nihilism that tells people the only way to prevent getting hurt is to hurt enough other people and that sickness is filtering into the bones of everything.

I would really like to have a mid-life crisis but the Raised Lutheran part of me keeps on tut-tutting about how impractical that is. Plus I dont have any ideas. Plus the country is crumbling around us.

Hard to believe a FIFA Peace Prize winner would be invading another country 😬

Time to lean even farther into swamp witch life
