The LAX theme building is just. So. Good. Compelled to take a picture every time.

It’s a great day in the world of Avengers and Automobiles, Heroes and Hatchbacks... Normally the construction wall isn’t the project- but these have been so much fun and make me giggle every time we have a review. (It’s no small feat to bring together earth’s mightiest studios.)

The candle topology game is really happening.

‘Symposium’ originally meant a boozy party, so clearly we’ve lost our way.

Reposting for the evening crowd since I don’t know when I’ll ever get anybody to hype me up this much again. I did request that the thumbnail read “Designer… Storyteller… Dreamweaver… and also Programmer” but I guess Ron didn’t get the memo.

The split in my timeline right now between ‘the independence of our central bank is under attack’ and ‘omg golden globes’ tells me 2026 really needs to chill out.

Recast all Johnny Depp roles with Jenna Ortega. I mean this in the best possible way. (For Jenna)

For most of my time at Nonchalance, I would try to describe my job… and halfway through the person would say “So, like that Michael Douglas movie?”

Young Sara would have killed for this treehouse.

I always read ‘Sorry’ in a Canadian accent when it’s written in this font.

I know some marking geniuses will say ‘Flix Brothers’ is the obvious choice… But I say, be bold and capitalize on the HBO cache with ‘Flixbo’

Posting these for reasons.

If you want to understand my brain: Ten hours ago, I saw a sign on a storefront that was crooked. Not intentionally crooked, just a smidge crooked. Not a temporary sign — a full, dimensional, mounted to the side of a building sign. It’s 11:30pm. I’m laying in bed thinking about the crooked sign.

Have always loved McMansion Hell. This ‘how we got here’ look at the evolution and continual reinvention of Rococo and the current state of the Oval Office is just A+ Also “grindset kitsch pianist” as a description of Liberace is inspired. www.patreon.com/posts/mcmans...

There’s obviously a lot to unpack here … from undisclosed private donors… to the lack of approvals and review… But what no one seems to be focusing on: “Trump said the project had grown in size and now will accommodate 999 people.” Is this all a misguided attempt to make the Haunted Mansion?!?

#NoKings at Pawnee City Hall. Leslie Knope is somewhere in the crowd managing the inflatable costume repair table.

Just out for a quiet neighborhood walk full of affirmations, duckies, and severed arms.

small poem. i've been playing a lot of "name the 500 biggest urban areas in the US" type games lately to keep my mind busy when i'm fretful

It’s been so long since I lived in San Francisco, I couldn’t remember the name of the fog. I had to look it up.

Surely you too have a collection of favorite utility panel covers?

Am I playing this wrong? With the exception of actual Tom Clancy titles, much every other book is ruined, right?

New overly aggressive autocorrect just makes me sound dumber. Previously, I’d go back and scan for little squiggly lines and fix my typos. Because my typing is terrible. Now my Ty porosity turn into entirely new words unless I watch very carefully. Please am it stop. I’m egging you.
