I know we're all adults, but, on occasion, everyone needs scooping off the floor by their irl friends & family. Reins taken for a few days; told that you're loved despite everything; given cake? Basically, what you'd do with a sad child. Adults get weary, and the nuclear family is waning.

How I'm feeling today:

i’m so tired

I’m a slut for eggs at Eggslut

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

My #Bitsy graphics app is now called PynkDraw (from the song) Feat: * primary color overlay (pencil tool) * 8x8 blocks of color underneath * bucketfill * undo/redo (100 states) * brush thickness * import/export * clipboard copy/paste * HSL picker #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

Ugh braised quail eggs are my new favorite snack. I wish there is more of a savory midday snack culture here

my daughter really captured my essence in this portrait of me “at work”

I have just learned that autistic people who ask questions because of curiosity and seeking clarification are viewed as antagonistic and argumentative and that explains so many interactions that have ended poorly in my life

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Super Typhoon Ragasa, a T10 (highest possible typhoon warning) is wrecking Hong Kong at the moment. This is video from the Ocean Park Fullerton Hotel.

Dear friends, As have become a habit, I mark each #autumnequinox by sharing a small poem by Xin Qiji. I also start my translation cycle of Chinese and Japanese poems and prose that mark the twenty-four lunisolar micro-seasons. Translation notes blogged here: #everynightapoem

Why is everyone talking about the rapture

NGL this whole thing reminded right we don’t actually watch Disney+ but are somehow still paying (after rewatching Andor like 3 times) and so I just cancelled with a note pointing to their cowardice as the reason

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

AHIP, as a rule, does not come out with statements to the general public saying "we're going to pay for [class of things]" — this is unusual.

for people too young to have lived through it the whole internet used to be stuff like this, other than pages about linux development or porn, but otherwise, all stuff like this

Temperature today in the Seattle area. 53F to 89F. Lmao

whichever neighbor is cooking up some steak at 10:30p, I applaud you, but also holy crap I want to eat some right now why are you so cruel

bsky fam, I need some costume drama that will feel like my brain is eating the most delicious-and-unhealthy chocolate cake, maybe adjacent to the Gilded Age so my eyes can feast and my brain will stfu. Any recommendations

Just checking my itinerary for tomorrow.

Really glad I got tickets to see Flow in Concert at the Seattle Symphony. Could use a bit of lovely art and music right now

I have been continuously squealing at the video of the baby capy eating while chilling in the salad bowl

Everyone say hello to Tupi, a lil’ capybara baby at the San Antonio Zoo. 🥹

the thing about "just make it exist, make it good later" is that unfortunately three key challenges in game development are 1. deciding what should exist 2. deciding when to make things good 3. deciding what 'good' means

Full agree with this, with the caveat that it cannot be overstated how much you need to train your taste to be open to this sort of play. I know first hand how easy it is to lose the patience for this sort of play of you immerse yourself in the constant reward/progression cycle that’s everywhere now

More train, FTR:

This is the type of result you can get if you also tweak some shader and post processing stuff

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

I'll keep saying it: RFK Jr. is a deadly threat to our public health and safety.   He is razing CDC, NIH, and other health agencies to the ground—putting politics and deranged conspiracy theories over science.   We need bipartisan oversight immediately, and he must be FIRED.

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor. In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

My love for Janelle is eternal. Also Aurora. What a great night at Bumbleshoot.

In Kochi City Station there’s a statue of Berobero No Kamisama, a nude, pink, spiral-eyed figure who is the local god for drunkards.

If you are in Seattle for PAX West, you should allot some time to go to the Seattle Art Museum catch the Ai Wei Wei retrospective. It is an extraordinary and poignant exhibit and very well curated. Read every plaque if you do.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

Having lived in California drought land for over 15 years it still awes me that Seattle is the land of fountains like this. Just water shooting everywhere. *for JOY* (it’s 9000 gallons that’s recycled)

Really enjoying SLICE, didn’t know what to expect since this is the inaugural year. Awesome attendance imo! Thank you @seattleindies.bsky.social

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

I just wanted to see how bad it really was. perfect, adobe. no notes. great tech.

➡️ 2 large-capacity kitchens ➡️ 260+ cooks ➡️ 900+ pots ➡️ 50,000+ pounds of food Here’s a look at what it takes to prepare tens of thousands of meals daily in Gaza. Behind every number are people showing resilience in the face of crisis. #ChefsForGaza

Learning well
