I wanted to like this book. It has a very interesting premise, but also has one of the most frustrating main characters I’ve come across in a long time. I didn’t enjoy inhabiting her brain while reading this. Probably a 2.5/5 for me. #booksky

the users of Bluesky have largely turned to poisoning the well against Ai and I think we should say; good work team! A lot of unqualified execs have lost the narrative and can't get it back, keep shitposting, shitpost harder

Saw this unopened pack of Starburst from 1987 on eBay. I'm still mad they took this away. I showed my brother who said he's still mad that they replaced Lime with Cherry in the original yellow pack. It's possible Starburst played too big of a role in our lives. @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social

We’ve reached the point in the South Carolina humidity where my hair goes from somewhat wavy to full-on Frodo Baggins overnight.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. But also good vibes to people who have lost their mothers or just never had a mom worth celebrating. This day is hard for a lot of is out there.

Gnats have very short lifespans. I wish I could convince them to find a better use of their time on this earth than flying between my sunglasses and my eyes every time I walk my dog.

I try to be cool with snakes, but a finding a black snake hanging out on my black garden hose while trying to detangle it is not cool. I thought we had a deal, snakes.

Thanks, mom.

Seems bad. No one wants an unhealthy back end.

This guy just got all A’s in his first semester back in school.

My hope for the future is that we discover how to add even more tags to the inside of men’s shirts. Longer ones too.

We’ve crossed a line. @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social something for a future “with protein!” post.

My hair naturally does a curl in the front. Woman at gym today: “You just need glasses and you’d look just like Clark Kent with that curl.” Me: “It’s Superman that has the curl. Clark Kent slicks it away from his forehead.” Maybe the most Steve interaction I've ever had. Def in the top 5.

Years ago, I used to illustrate and sell posters of coastal stuff. I forgot I ever did this one until I found a whole box of prints under the bed in the guest room. I guess I was burnt out by this point because I don’t think I sold any of these based on how many I have left.

It's awesome when you hear a song perfectly captures everything you are feeling and speaks to your very soul. It's not as awesome when you go to find more, but you find out that artist never made anything else that even remotely sounds like the song you love.

The index card industry should send me a hand-written note expressing their thanks for taking this class. Final exams this week.

Found this while doing some yard work for my mom. No one seems to remember where it came from.

The Weather Channel popping in at the end of April with some timely advice.

I gotta think some people that attended this awards banquet walked away disappointed. @garbageskeleton.skin

There are days in my life when I don't have Back on the Chain Gang by The Pretenders stuck in my head, but today is not one of those days.

Will my computer ever acknowledge that the word Figma, and not Sigma, is something I sometimes have to type?

Everything about this post is loosening what little grip I still have on my sanity.

I found out today that a guy I've seen at the gym several times a week for 5-6 years is actually two completely different people that look a lot alike. I saw them both at the same time, and it blew my mind.

I use mechanical pencils. I had been using Papermate Sharpwriters for most of my life. It did everything a pencil needed to do, but like everything in life, it was replaced with an inferior product that barely does anything a pencil is supposed to do. I've been on a search for a replacement...

The thing about depression is that it can be a perfect sunny Saturday during a 3-4 month run of feeling good, and you can wake up feeling like someone tied an anchor to your neck. Or at least I can.

Would the president getting kidnapped by ninjas really even be that bad?

I feel you, Hulk.

Sometimes the flash cards I make for studying are weird.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

If I was granted 3 wishes by a genie, one of them would definitely be "Make it so I never automatically get logged out of anything again."

“I don’t want to get up but I don’t want to stay in bed either.” Rereading East of Eden. I highlighted this quote the last time I read it, and it still summarizes how I feel half the time.

Age verification? I am followed everywhere by a large ghostly projection of my face, as caught on camera here.

All of this AI bullshit. At least during the dot com boom, the Super Bowl commercials were funny.

In a lot of ways, I feel like I’ve outgrown this series, but I have to admit it was pretty fun living in this world again for a few days. Probably a 4/5 compared to other novels in the series.

I guess I'm old school, but if it can't be literally played on an iPod, it's not a podcast.

Not feeling great today, but still having a good time in the snow.

My dog got sick yesterday. Took him to an emergency vet last night because we probably can’t drive today because of snow. They sent him home with us last night. He pooped in the car on the way home. During the night he pooped himself, and then jumped in our bed. It’s a nightmare.

So a sick dog and snow. Not a great combination.

Speaking as a professional designer for two and a half decades: if a client asks you to make sure the whole brand system you just designed for them is set up in Canva so they can "switch some stuff out" it's time to walk away.

I missed 1 out of 150 questions on my medical terminology Kahoot review. I'm no longer at the top of the leaderboard. I can't abide by this.

Things are terrible everywhere, but to everyone in the path of the ice storm, take care. I hope it's not as bad as they are saying it will be. If I get frozen in a giant block of ice, please don't let them unfreeze me until after all the shit out there gets fixed.
