Me: goes into the woods, trying to leave my trashcan of a life behind me, just for a few minutes of peace My life: ...

Yesterday I: - bought groceries - shopped for shop supplies - had a family dinner with wife, both kids, and my dad - watched our standard Sunday evening YouTube videos ($1 house girl, Italy guy, Laura Farms, etc.)

Today's accomplishments: - we (the family) attended a craft show and made than we did at our last craft show (ie we made more than 72 cents)

Today I: - prepped for tomorrow's craft show (my kid and I will be spending the day cosplaying as extroverts) - bought some milk from the local farm store - got some cash to maybe, *maybe*, buy some leather supplies next week - watched a movie (A WORKING MAN) - made dinner (tacos w/ Spanish rice)

THE GOLDEN KEY is my favorite... "boy band." It's a long one but worth reading. And re-reading.

Today's accomplishments: - crawled into the crawlspace of the project house - came up with a reasonably viable plan to replace the rotten rim joist and baseplate (see photo) - had lunch with my dad - watched some leatherworking videos - unpacked my kid's car since they're home for the holiday

A priest, a rabbit, and a cleric walk into a tavern. The rabbit says "What am I doing here? I must be dyslexic."

Today I: - bought groceries (my wallet is now devoid of cash and the will to live) - finished a leather project (a pretty teal clutch purse) - watched about 5 hours of local government meetings (and wrote accompanying articles about them) 1/2

Today's accomplishments: - leatherworking, article writing, and making dinner (chili) - and maybe more leatherworking after dinner

Yesterday's accomplishments: - watched my kid get recognized for their hard work by being nominated for the college's highest award (didn't win but a nomination is considered a win)

Today's accomplishments: - worked remotely (while my coworkers watched a literal dumpster fire on location) - did laundry and dishes - did a wee bit of leatherworking - read and watched TV

How I look when I try to build something outside.

Today's accomplishments: - went to work for a few hours - saw the most unique school mascot ever (see photo of griffin) - played D&D with my usual group (well, technically is was Pathfinder 1e, but close enough) - that's it!

Yesterday's accomplishments: - fixed my fubarred leather project - made coffee for the week - gave Chet a trim (his neighbor was the real reason for the trim but Chet got some attention too) - went to dinner with the family - prepped for today's race

The best time to make coffee is before you try to make coffee without putting coffee grounds in the coffee pot. BEFORE.

For those that care (all 3 of you that follow me), I changed my profile pic and banner.

Today's accomplishments: - had lunch with my dad - spent most of the day shopping with my dad (tractors, wood trim, tools, workbench, etc) - watched several videos on how install a vise to a workbench - wrote an article on local gov - didn't cook dinner (because screw it, I wanted a day off)

Today's accomplishments: - went to the dentist for a cleaning - screwed up a leather project (see photo) - spent the rest of the day shopping for stuff and buying nothing because I couldn't find anything - did dishes - made dinner (steak, potatoes, and onions in the oven)

When you have a day full of bad luck/bad karma and come home to find your copy of BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES by @travisbaldree.bsky.social in the mailbox, you can't help but think your day has turned around.

My brain after 9pm.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Today's accomplishments: - finished a wallet from last night - went to lunch with my dad - bought milk (and lemonade and apple cider) - finished writing an article for tomorrow - swept the kitchen floor - made dinner (pasta with sauce and crescent rolls) - reorganized my briefcase for work

Just some new pieces I've finally finished. #leatherworking #leathercraft #barqranch

Serfs up!

Today's accomplishments: - spent most of the day on my back recovering from getting my flu and covid vaccines yesterday - still managed to have enough go juice to clean my mom's gutters in the morning - and I gave myself a haircut - watched crappy movies (except HOSTILES - it was decent but sad)

Yesterday's accomplishments: - all of yesterday's accomplishments are moot because my daughter's supervisor said I looked younger than she expected

Today's accomplishments: - I watched 2ish hours of a townhall and wrote an article about it - I wrote another article for next week - I wrote a breaking news article - I ate leftovers for lunch - I tried to do work at Starbucks but their wifi wasn't working 1/2

I shop here. I sell here. I feel safe here. I see this as an attack on Kevin and Dragan, an attack on me, and an attack on everyone else in the community. Kevin and Dragan are some of the nicest people around. It makes me so sad and so mad to see this.

Today's accomplishments: - helped create shopping list for renovation project - shopped for tractors - had lunch with my dad (and heard new stories from his childhood) - bought supplies on previously created shopping list 1/2

Today's accomplishments: - came up with a plan for our renovations (I like that we have a plan but I don't like what we have to do) - totally rebuilt my compost bin - tinkered with antiqueing some leather - made dinner (meatloaf, potatoes, mac and cheese, broccoli) - scheduled an eye appointment

Today's accomplishments: - removed 2 bags worth of insulation from the crawlspace at the project house - Lunch with my dad - tooled and dyed several leatherworking projects - made dinner (pizza and fish sticks) - took a picture of a gross snail [see photo] - scheduled time to pick up free pallets

Good news: My smoke alarms work. Also good news: Dinner smells great. Great news: My Ryobi portable fan really helped me see what I was cooking through all the smoke from the burnt onions. #notsponsored #housespouse

Mine would be: Have you read THE HOT ZONE?

This is the way.

If I opened a dispensary, I would call it Starbase 420. The house strain would be Wesley Kusher.

Me hugging coffee this morning after a long workday yesterday.

My reaction when I read about Carl and Donut in any #dungeoncrawlercarl book.

TIL Mr. Rogers, as in THE MR. ROGERS, made one appearance as a fictional character on a TV show. And I just watched it.

Why?

Friendly reminder that if you're into anilingus that's your business, but its never OK to make others watch your kink without their informed and active consent.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

0345 start time for work hurts. Had a good day but man, im gonna need a nap tomorrow.

Unexpected #dungeoncrawlercarl

The best part of this place. Well, the people are pretty cool here too.

Me and my friend looking at the sky hoping there's an alien invasion soon because it feels like that's the only thing that will save us from the madness we live in now.

I will be there in spirit!

Visually impaired peeps, I need your help. I'm looking for a tool that allows me to automate Alt Text image descriptions. Suggestions? Sidebar: While I'm okay doing the work manually, I'm afraid I'll get snarky or tired and put hidden messages in there.

My sister Sarah's illustrations accompany this children's book on Benjamin Lay, out today. ❤️‍🔥

Me yelling at my bank account for being so empty.
