This little friend took a nap in our gutters today. They have moved along for the night, but are super cute! The little tail!! 🥺 Did not pet!!

I'm having a ✨ riveting ✨ Saturday night reading an article about the history of clubmoss in New England 😂

Spending my NYE down with pink eye AND strep at the same time. I haven't had strep since I was a kid (and I likely got it from my kid...) and it SUCKS as an adult. Elizabeth keeps occasionally coming into my room and spraying Lysol in my general direction. 🫠

If you ever feel lonely, highly suggest (just kidding, I regret this immensely) putting your phone number into a moving quote website, bc damn these people are relentless 😂

Saw a show on BBC home and garden when Z was all of four months old about making a holiday garland of your baby's onesies from when they were itty bitty. We templated some hearts, trees, mittens, and stars on a box of seltzer. And now that she's 27.5 months old, I finally got around to making it. 😂

Huge shout-out to the very kind folks at @edera.dev for sharing not only a phone charger, but offering me a spontaneous invite to their table for a slice of (amazing!) pizza as I randomly ducked into a pizza place to find somewhere to charge my phone. Your generosity is very much appreciated! 🙏😁

Thrilled to be here at @rejekts.io today!! Looking forward to seeing everyone, and please come see myself and @workbrew.bsky.social's awesome Brandon Valentine speaking this afternoon in the main theater at 2:35 PM today! #Rejekts2025 cfp.cloud-native.rejekts.io/cloud-native...

too damn much of this stuff this year, "shutting down after 50, 100, 200 years"

Made it to ATL! Looking forward to speaking tomorrow at #Rejekts2025 alongside @workbrew.bsky.social's Brandon Valentine! Brewed for Scale: How Homebrew Virtualized macOS DevOps with Kubernetes :: Cloud Native Rejekts NA (Atlanta) 2025 :: pretalx share.google/vmOdCjFhMK1X...

Anyone else going to be at #Rejekts2025 tomorrow? I'm co-presenting a talk and would love to see some familiar faces!

Who do I know here that's going to #Rejekts2025? I'll be co-presenting an awesome talk and would love to see folks!

Some exciting news: Kodak announced two new types of film today, and, notably, said it would be directly selling the film to shops, sidestepping a complicated licensing agreement where Kodak hasn't had the right to sell its own film to stores www.404media.co/kodak-is-sel...

How dare I kiss her on the head? Do I have no respect for personal space? 😂

We all got rotavirus (thanks, daycare!!) and I am about to spend the same amount as my car payment for my kid to have literally been at home sick for the last two weeks. Love it, feels great. (None of this feels great actually, especially when also sick).

Got some super cool news today!!

Can’t wait to introduce bird-based storage into my backup system

Binged the entirety of #DungeonCrawlerCarl and did a total 180 to 'Heretical Fishing'. Wrapped up 'Bronze/Silver/Gold Ranked Brewer' also. It's a good time for LitRPGs over here. DCC is fantastic and is definitely in the running for my top series of 2025 so far.

just wanted to be honest that something i do sometimes is doordash off the 55+ menu on iHop because those deals are so good and they don't verify your age through doordash. so yeah... secret's out

New job is going well!! I have it on good authority that I'll likely be at KubeCon this year. Excited to reconnect with folks!

Cutting federal funding wouldn't just threaten smaller public media orgs, such as New England community radio stations. The impact would ripple across public media — putting national shows, shared music licensing costs, and more at risk. My latest: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/b...

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

It's my birthday, so that's cool. 🎉

the ADHD ability to go from “i’m a genius” to “what if i never amount to anything???” in under 3 seconds

I don't know who needs to hear this, but start living. The days are flying by, and all you do is work, pay bills, and stress. Enjoy what you can-walks, sunsets, music, laughter. Joy doesn't have to be expensive. You deserve it.

Smoking a brisket today and hopefully making some gochugaru quickles to go with it and some smoked garlic olive oil Yukon potatoes. Fusion time. 😂 If folks aren't feeling that I'll whip up some lamb kebabs for them instead lol.

I s2g some of y'all didn't play FFX and it shows.

I should probably get back into writing at some point. I miss my @krakencollective.bsky.social folks like @roannasylver.bsky.social and @clh2oars.bsky.social. So many plot bunnies. We'll see if I actually get to drafting anything 😂. Who knows, maybe I'll finally dive into writing a #LitRPG.

Did you know that March is Small Press Month? I’ve put together a list of my top 12 sapphic books published by small sapphic presses. I had initially planned to do a top 5, but it was tough to narrow it down. 1/13

Finished a wonderful third book in a series (Hell for Hire) I'm enjoying by @rachel-aaron.bsky.social. Also started one from @tkingfisher.com that's delightful (Clockwork Boys). It's a good day for reading. #BookSky

we could all use a bit of wonderment right now 🌊

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Thousands of federal workers performing essential functions—from food safety to forestry and fire management to nuclear safeguards—have been illegally fired. The Department of Justice has abandoned more than 150 years of independence. The president has claimed that he is a king. It is day 31.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason

BREAKING: Donald Trump issued an executive order tonight aimed at ending several decades-old and highly successful government programs. Among the programs Trump says he's ending: The Federal Executive Boards and the Presidential Management Fellows Program. What do they do, you ask? Key things!

The wolves are at the door, Your contactless delivery of wolves has arrived!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.
