I’m parked on a city street in front of a storage facility waiting to pick up a table my wife bought off Facebook and the manager has come out 3 times to see if I “need any help.” I’ve been here 10 mins.

The fact that he thinks air strikes will topple a government to the point that I are med civilians will be able to just “take over” just proves how very little he paid attention in college and how little he’s read since then.

Good morning from wild birds, chickens, coyotes and wood peckers.

It's great when you have Office set to NOT auto update and then it informs you there's an update to install and you ignore it and then it fucking auto updates anyway and doesnt autosave your open docs because they arent saved to OneDrive and office only autosaves if your doc is saved to onedrive

Yeah, I was there at the birth of modern Seattle sports. @brittneybush.bsky.social might be the only BSky person I know of that might think this is anything close to cool. :-) I was also at the very first Sounders game against the NY Cosmos. I saw Pele play!

I summarily block, on any platform, anyone that posts “Why is this the save icon even though most computer users never used a floppy disk.” Special bonus blocking for those that reply with “and that’s not even ‘floppy’ so why is it called a floppy” Jail! Straight to jail!!!

Why is it that clients insist on replying to 5 Yes\No questions with an invite to a 20 person, 2 hour long meeting to 'discuss?' Just take the responsibility and answer. Are you really SO afraid of taking a stand that EVERYTHING needs to be a committee decision even if you have to invent one?

Looks like we have 2 Dickens books to choose from this month. :-) Great Expectations and Bleak House! 🍰 📖 🌿

It's the final day of the Leaves of Grass reading group. Thanks to everyone that took part. Im sorry my personal life got in the way of me being more engaged but you all had some GREAT conversations. It was a fun experience for me! Thanks 🌿

How did I experience the 80s? Let’s just say that Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s version of Born to Run is better than Springsteen’s.

No, Shauna, if “it” was on earth he’d be on the Voyager probe.

I created an IG account to look at a series of videos my son is doing. I told it I was a man. I looked at ONLY my son’s cold plunge videos. My TL is FILLED with high school cheer videos. The IG algorithm assumes all men are pedophiles. It took 20 mins of hitting ‘not interested’ to cleanse it.

Being a Gen X kid was dominated by being simultaneously being told to sniff markers AND scolded for sniffing paint.

The BEST part of a new gig is the 3 days of utterly mindless required training about security. I particularly love the ones that spend 2 hours training me what to do if the doorway badge reader doesnt work...for a gig where I will never leave my own house 2000 miles away from a door

Ritz Crackers Serving Size: 5 crackers FUCK. YOU. Everyone knows it’s 1…sleeve.

March is Great Expectations month! bsky.app/profile/did:... 📖🍰

God help me. I don’t want to like Yacht Rock but when you are an 8 yo in 1975 and the very coolest people in your life were listening to the Doobie brothers, Christopher Cross and the Eagles you end up liking it against your will.

In prep for tomorrow I present the 1980 Fame version of I Sing the Body Electric 🌿

Remember right in the middle of the whole “Macs are the greatest” era we found out that the worst security issue for Windows machines was QuickTime, a terrible and ubiquitous video app made by Apple? Good Times

Sorry I’ve been absent from the 🌿 reading. It’s been a hard week. We had to put the family cat down after 20 years. My daughter was 7 when we got Gizmo. She spent her first 10 a barn cat and hunter in Whatcom Co and her last 10 as a cat of leisure in apartments in Seattle. Rest easy gizmo

Does anyone know of an app that will look at a set of photos on my computer and categorize them into folders based on what's in the photo? Seems like one of the very few times I'd like to use AI but I also dont want to upload them somewhere. I want it local and private. Ideas?

Photos of my cargo bike loaded up from the time I moved my aunt into a new apartment using only my bike (except for her bed and her antique china cabinet. It took 10 trips but the looks I got with the chair on it made it worth it. LOL #bike #cargobike #cargobikes #bicycles #bicycling

Whitman was 37 when he wrote Leaves of Grass and he has the wide eyed optimism and sense of wonder of an 18yo college freshman that just took their first meditation class at the student union. 🌿

The concept of 'keeping an existing customer is cheaper than getting a new one' is a foreign concept to Comcast. My wife opened a 2nd location for her dance studio. The 1st one pays $240 for Internet. The new one will pay $100. I tried to downgrade the 1st one and they wont let me.

My wife saw Maye and immediately started calling him “Juice Box” because he looks 11.

I don’t speak a word of Spanish but that was the best halftime show I’ve ever seen

A Seahawks just sacked the NE quarterback using a NE offensive lineman as a club LOL

It’s Song for Occupations Day!!! Here’s a little bit of analysis to help. Remember in the 1855 edition the poems didn’t actually have names yet so your book might not call them out like that . :-) 🌿

Looking into Taijijian (tai chi with a prop sword) and Iaido (Japanese kata-based martial art with a sword) as a more meditative addition to my workout routine but also feeling like I need to be careful NOT to stray into the “weird old white guy with the Asia fetish” territory. It’s a tightrope.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “If you think a project schedule is something you build once to get your funding, you aren’t a project manager, you are a con man.”

Smartsheet laid off a ton of people this week and LinkedIn is absolutely AWASH with Smartsheet people that DIDNT LOSE THEIR JOBS lamenting how hard it was FOR THEM to say goodbye. Their “friends” lost their jobs but it’s about them having to still have a job and how hard that is. What the fuck?!

Strive to be as curious about the world around you as your cats are about when you clean their litter box.

I read something somewhere that suggested that in Song of Myself "Houses and Rooms" symbolize society and social groups and "perfumes" symbolize people. Something to think about. 📖🌿

How are we doing with old Walt today? Once I got the hang of how to read it from the recording I posted I had a better time working through it. It's been said that it's best to read it straight through but my ADHD doesn't support that very well. :-) 🌿📖

Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth Primitive Radio Gods

My tiny friend, Rowdy got a haircut finally!
