People keep seeing me in my kilts and asking me if I’m going to PortCon. Only for the last 23 years.

Hoo boy, I got up angry todee.

One of the fun bits of my job is the side projects like making tap handles. Also fun: I designed them and nobody is going to tell me not to do them this way.

We installed a gate to stop the kitties from flopping around in the workshop and now he just looks longingly through it

Some baristas will someday be barristers and I can respect that. But I respect a barrister turned barista more.

“Grimace will never ask you for your credit card number, social security card, or blood type, so please do not follow any dubious links no matter what the sender does to convince you he is the giant personified taste bud representing our company,” read an all-staff email

Looks like threads has community notes now

Not me cleaning my fish tank glass because my little niece asked "Don't you ever clean it?"

“Dem nacelles”

Things that I now know I can blame my dad for: a pathological need to eat lunch specifically between 1130 and 130

Just @archimer.bsky.social and I being cute.

Luigi did nothing wrong.

Too much of the conflict in Picard Season 2 comes from one rich dirtbag not building an indoor pool

I am begging these bloggers to do a little surface level research before giving advice on water gardens in Maine. Every post I’ve seen recommends adding goldfish because they are hardy but it’s that hardiness that makes them super illegal to have outdoors here.

Just went to a hotdog place that very specifically does not put ketchup on a hotdog unless specifically ordered. Even if you order it “with everything“ you have to also specify catch-up. As a ketchup on a hotdog enthusiast: I am aghast.

Forgot to take pics of the outside of the treasure box I put together for a friend’s wedding. I like doing these for big occasions, more fun than a card. My favorite part of these is when the recipient texts me immediately after opening it.

Me after being chanted at to chug scotch by a herd of twenty-somethings and replying: time out, we’re not chugging scotch. Get me a cup.

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name favorite sci-fi franchise.

New Fire Emblem!

The Mandalorian and Grogu: Bad title, decent Star Wars. Overall, I liked it.

these are getting weird

Got a compliment on my outfit from a lady while I was walking down the street today so that was nice.

Went to an excellent wedding last weekend, but one of the highlights was going to Medieval Times. Only reason I’d go back to New Jersey on purpose. Red Knight forever.

The judge wrote in his 94-page ruling that it was "crystal clear" that the arts complex was named for the late president John F. Kennedy. He also ruled that the center could not wind down its programming and close for two years of renovations – at least for now n.pr/4uIQCD8

Adorable inconvenient baby.

It’s giving “end of days” ngl 😬

I’m anti fast fashion, but why the fuck is a pair of shorts $30, and a dress shirt $70 for normal brands?

Bless fiddlehead season.

Sometimes I miss having a waterbed.

Fuck you, spotify.

i think the kids call it meekoo hatsoon #MikuExpo

Slightly increase a band: Astatine Zeppelin

My favorite thing about Miku Expo is the parents who’ve got a kid in cosplay who knows all the words. The parents obviously do not go here but they’re still showing up for their kid and the thing they love. Magical.

Drove by this situation today on my way to a concert: www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Our doorbell has two different tones depending on the door. If you ring the wrong one I know you are a foe.

Andre him a boy

I have been sneezing and tensing my body so hard that I cramp everywhere.

No one fights like Gaston Douses lights like Gaston Nobody says Men’s Rights like Gaston

Just found out the dumbest olympic sport: Duathlon. An esport where you ride an exercise bike and run on a treadmill to simulate doing 2/3 of an actual triathlon. Just do a triathlon, like they do IRL every four years.

D&D beverage lineup from right to left: hard cider from dinner to get started, decaf (and Irish) @manyworldstavern.bsky.social coffee to stay warmed up, big ‘ol mug of water to deal with the first two.

I wanted to show my colleagues an assortment of Furcolas photos but Slack doesn't have a spoiler tag to hide the horrors so here's a summary of his adventures so far (feat. Dan Olson / Folding Ideas). #Art #LongFurby #Furby

It’s my book’s birthday!!! (or, “pub day”, as the industry folk call it!!) To be earnest for a moment, I really did make this “Extremely Accurate Birds” field guide to share my genuine love for birding and the natural world around us in the only way I know how: through the dumbest humor possible.

Sunday

I sure do love that the price of heating oil almost doubled in two months

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”
