This morning's #MarieBakes #BreakfastBake is a sourdough boule! Well, partially-sourdough boule - I added some yeast to the dough after our end-of-weekend starter wasn't active enough. It came out okay anyway but I hope I can be without extra yeast next week.

It's Wife Appreciation Day today! Here's my wife at almost the top of San Francisco. She's really great at travelling with me and living life to our fullest. 💖💜

Starting a thread of bass players because 🤩🤘🏼

Tonight's excursion is Shonen Knife at Sonia (next to Middle East). My first time seeing them and the openers were both great too.

This morning’s peaceful green space time is Weetamoo Woods in Tiverton… where the creek is, somewhat disturbingly, completely dry.

Today's excursion is a totally amazing Clam Bake in Newport, RI. The spoils.

Whelp. That wasn't in my plan for today.

Tonight's diversion is Garbage in Boston. Love this minimal stage setup, we saw them open a few years ago but I'm hyped for this show.

So far in EoE Standard I have avoided playing the deck that is almost certainly the best, just because I'd rather have fun. But I'm definitely in a waiting room until the next release where I'll dive into drafts and I'm looking forward to not needing to see Vivi anymore for at least a week.

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

What an expertly called shot

Meant to post this as a good morning but I forgot. Anyway. Good morning.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. 🎶 Would you like to swing on a star?

Reskeet if u agree

The keycaps for my daily driver keyboard were getting a little sad, with a few of them failing. I often have to scrounge for some low-profile caps since that's my preferred, but I was able to find some really cute new ones. Travel bunny, that's me! 🛄🐰

Tapping the sign. www.w3.org/Provider/Sty... (but seriously, this is a reason that archive.org is incredibly useful)

Reading a list of tips for ND people to interact well with NT people and I'm pretty sure I'm not that far down that scale but lots of them seem like great tips regardless for anyone whose social development was stunted for ~reasons~

Tonight's excursion is Wet Leg in Boston! They are really great but some of their lighting design is very "do not look at stage with remaining eye"

Today's moments of zen brought to you by Breakheart Pond welcoming us back to our Sunday hikes in Rhode Island.

Back in Rhode Island and let's get started with some RIFC soccer! Let's go lads! #ForeverFaithful

Home is where the bidet is. 🍑⛲🌬️

One of the best parts of my regular urban hiking route when I lived there. We went a different way that was easier to get to the start of on this trip.

Some good news. Neighbors, go get your shot!

We had a very nice time in San Francisco (and San Jose) the last two weeks, but it's time to head back east home. We gained a new friend for Grey and Theo.

It's definitely anecdata but over three days in the Bay private transportation has been at least an hour late on their ETAs and my public transportation has only been late because of missed transfers on my end.

I understand why you separate one stall bathrooms by gender but also wish it was more socially acceptable to use the opposite gender one when it's convenient.

Today's "we always find the best things" is Everclear, who is 110% aware that they are 90s alternative.

More true than I realized when I made it.

First they came for the trans people. And the NRA got it right? The ducking NRA? Is that where we are at now? * walks into the ocean, which is actually thankfully close *

Today's SF institution: the Tonga Room And now, your moment of zen.

Back in a city I called home but knew it wasn't forever from the start. Lots of personal history and change here.

Post a meme made by you

Using my tech support knowledge to get the #RIFC match on in San Francisco since galazo isn't available here. It's good news as we're up by 1! Let's goooo! #ForeverFaithful

oh my god it is it is genuinely wow to see @capublichealth.bsky.social explicitly encouraging respirator use. THANK YOU

i found a @dariaphoebe.com and a @marie.tech ✨

Hard to believe it but yesterday was our first flight of the year. It was delayed, then un-delayed, then we got to Chicago early, then had to sit on the tarmac at ORD until we were late. But we made it.

GAME CHANGER, "Samalamadingdong" (2025)

It's raining in New England but let's watch an RIFC match in the Cup! ⚽⚽

Hard Mode Quiz! If you were a NON-LEGENDARY creature, which would you be?

Today's #BreakfastBake is a simple butter muffin. They came out well and think it could be a good base for other more flavorful muffins. We had just a little blueberries left so I added a couple on top.

I definitely need to get a new therapist but I really wish I either didn't care about being noticed or was less easy to pick out as a trans woman. I'm especially not happy with the addition of fear for my safety I need to worry about in situations recently.

Hearing that most of the other people in the bar are going to the Hearts of Pine game tomorrow is really nicer than I expected. Unfortunately we'll be home by then.

And it's time to be at a new venue again. We start with a band I got keyed into by our bartender for many years, Sammy Rae & The Friends! Love the vibe.

Went to see some art, as we are apt to do in places. Memberships to local art museums get you into other local art museums. Some of my favorites from today.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I love that my former state (Minnesota) and my current one have good flags. Theoretically Rhode Island should be on a strange ratio as well, although no one does that. It's also way too much to ask for the fringe to actually be on it.

Minnesota: 10/10 I know there was a lot of DISCOURSE on this one (and yes, I have a soft-spot for Laser Loon), but I actually think this one came out looking pretty great. An unusual color palette that catches the eye, and I like how the field looks like the state.
