Victory! The Parker fountain pen I've been struggling with since November seems to finally have started working again. It's my only medium-nib one so I've been super-annoyed this whole time. My fingers are inky, but it's the stain of success.

The artstyle, the music, the animations, it's all just too cute! 🥰

Every day, I log into this site on my browser and glance at this on the right sidebar. Only once have I known what more than 2 of the things are referring to. Today's is a total mystery.

Claude is the system that tried to convince me no character in the play THE CHERRY ORCHARD spoke words to a book shelf, that no stage direction mentioned the sound effect of a plucked string, and that there was a character named Ryan.

I like when people say that if I don't get into AI I'll be left behind, I love to be left behind, that's where going for ice cream lives.

Was it for this, Pearse, Connolly and Sydney Parade died?

Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, Tintin and The Far Side were a major part of my reading journey, so I’ve introduced my daughter to comics like Calvin and Hobbes to give her the same. Except I forgot that she’d start to behave like Calvin. She woke me up Sunday by popping a paper bag above my head.

I have a clear IKEA storage bin, the original purpose of which I've forgotten, that now has two pairs of jeans, a sweatshirt, and two tee shirts folded in it, awaiting their second day in the sun. It's on the floor so technically a floordrobe, I reckon.

Trying to figure out how to sell podcast ads myself (and do away with whatever weird auto generated ones happen now). Anyone out there done this as an indie show and have advice?

growing up with fixed, closer to god, & further down the spiral kinda fucked with my expectations from major LPs in my life tbh. [baby emily takes a long draw from a clove & stares into her boom box] “what do you mean my favorite song is also a totally different song that’s also my favorite song?”

Hellloo I'm about to ~announce~ my side project and I'm looking for journos and press interested in cozy horror/fake OS/visual novel/set in the 90s style games. If that's you hmu! Or if you know of folks pls lemme know! I'm building my own list but I'm bound to miss the perfect person.

This cat really gave me a glamour head turn.

There are a lot of tiresome people giving their opinions and caveats and I honestly wish they'd take up beetle collecting or home renovation instead. I'm not interested in those topics, either, but at least there'd be nice photographs pushed through my timeline.

Can't stop laughing at a story my friend told me yesterday about going to meet a work contact at the gates of Trinity. He went up to another waiting man and said "Are you Michael?" "Yes" "Will we go for a coffee?" "Sure." Over a coffee he realises it's not the Michael he's meant to be meeting.
