It feels good to fill up a notebook!

I’m sad I didnt get to see Robert Hood at Boiler Room LA last weekend. Wishing him and his family the best. Here's a lil sketchbook acrylic painting I did of him while catching up with his latest release. #sketchbook #detroithouse

😠

he lives #painting #sketchbook

In mid-October, John Carroll Kirby and Miho Hatori are going to perform together all the way over in Brooklyn. I’m so jealous 😖 🎵

I'm finally managing to protect some time in the chaos of volunteering for non-profits, mentoring, and making art for indie game projects to do some personal painting 😫 #sketchbook

I was trying to make a post for my though about Todoist’s Ramble feature and oh my god. Lemme just post it like this. I’m a valley girl (embarassingly)

I’ve been trying to consolidate all of my blogging over the last 15+ yrs to Microblog, but what a mess Wordpress and Squarespace has made of my posts. Doesn’t help that I’ll have to restore all of these broken ~2012 Flickr embeds. I hope I still have these files, if I even know which ones they are.

Saw a possum

Currently ref-hunting for a logo design task. These pince-nez (French for 'pinching nose’) glasses I found on Wikipedia are so, so sick. Idk how, but the second pair's meant to help manage astigmatism?

Proud to say that I was selected as a mentor for this Sunbloom program. This week, I met my talented mentee. I admire Sunbloom’s organized, results-focused approach, emphasizing that mentorship is a two-way exchange of knowledge. Excited for the Full Bloom showcase in November! www.sunbloomarts.org

Super late to this concept I guess LOL but I really get the appeal now of using voice notes for blog post freewrites or talking through task needs. I can get my thoughts out, paste the transcript to Ulysses, and organize from there.

NIN tonight

Anybody here into creating your own playlists? Here’s one that I tend to for writing or chilling at home. music.apple.com/us/playli… I could use some new music recs from friends, pls send me yours.

Don't have to tell me twice.

I found this big bottle on the street some months ago, I finally washed and dried it to keep my used film canisters. This is a big upgrade from the tiny milk bottle that I used before! 📸

oh hey little dude how’s it goi-eeUUUUUGGGHHHh?????

I found a pack of like 18 coca colas while organizing the trunk of my car????

bring 100 gallons of drinking water to the bathroom and see once and for all whether it's possible to pee continuously for an hour if I just keep sipping water

Stupid complaint about weight loss but I'm still having a hard time getting used to not being able to rest my hands on my (now less-existent) santa belly when I'm playing Balatro

btw I managed to do a set of 3 knee push-ups this week

I’m glad I’m slowly getting over this lifelong stage-fright about posting stuff. I’m not able to just sit down and focus (which is why I’m up at like 1:30a), but when I do, it feels really nice to organize my thoughts. EVEN IF THEY’RE BORING!

Oh my god a vinyasa is basically a burpee

Anyone have essays or articles about the impact of AI-forward project management or productivity tools (think, Otter, or Reclaim) on folks who work in those fields? Are they negatively impacting production workers in the way it is for visual artists? Are there positives?

So who’s gonna integrate their Duolingo score on their Linkedin Profile? #DuoCon

Yash’s presentation about their Video Call with Lily feature is impressive, but still not worth the money. I pretty much still stand by what I wrote about it a month ago. bapsi.micro.blog/2025/08/12/d... #duocon

So it takes over 500 hours to reach a score of 130. They claim that reaching level 130 means you’re proficient enough to have a knowledge job in that language. My score is 66 (CEFR ~A2/B1), I have a long way to go lol #Duocon

I reached the part in Careless People where she decided to move to Menlo Park. Ofc, I don’t know the culture at Meta as well as she does. Her rationale made sense. But from here, her take that the email Mark sent to her implied that she needed to move seemed like a bit of a stretch. 📚

iOS and iPadOS 26 are working fine btw. Discord continues to be unstable on the iPad, but it’s been like that well before the ‘26 update.

I’m excited about the OS26 updates, but I think I’m gonna wait a bit before installing them on my MacOS machines. Compatibility issues with third party apps almost always take a while to be resolved.

Siri and Shortcuts integration for YNAB now! I’m so excited. I like the new look they gave the app for iOS26 too.

WIP: Hue Shift Blanket: https://bapsi.micro.blog/2025/09/15/wip-hue-shift-blanket.html

Since establishing my Freedom app-blocking schedule in July, my average weekly screen time (across all of my devices has gone down by about 6 hours.

• Delicious KBBQ with a friend after assisting them with their well organized move • Coming home w/ more houseplants from said moving friend • Almost done with my A5 Midori journal • Watched The Fifth Element last night with @nicksuda.com • Reached 23 consecutive weeks of weight training

Looks like Yves Tumor opened for Swedish House Mafia with a noisey industrial set and was booed offstage? The audience are all cowards. I should have been at that show instead

Rest in peace Hermeto Pascoal. I wish I got to see you perform live when I had the chance. youtube.com/watch?v=lZbf...

Super addicted to this Adam Ant song rn

!!!!!!!

I went outside to try to organize my cluttered balcony, and was startled by this big orange thing. I may have scared it too, cause it closed up its wings. A MONARCH BUTTERFLY!

I'm writing a little retrospective/process blog post from the Katamari Fanzine project I did a few years ago. The digital merch was so cute that I set them to randomize on my MacBook. This one's by @casualrad.bsky.social ❤️

I have such a long list of drafts for art blog posts I’ve been meaning to write and am determined to get through it, even I’m afraid that the moment for the writing’s passed. 😤 ✏️
