The Child, age 4, has a powerful urge to decorate for any holiday. We are making increasingly tiny christmas trees. This one is for Mouse Christmas. Where will it end

The Four-Year-Old has begun to insist most vocally upon the importance of zero-indexing

im not legally allowed to post my actual thoughts on the government

@firefox.com Firefox once again re-enabled this stupid-ass RAM-hogging bullshit "use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups" setting even though I keep disabling it. Stop shitting up the last decent browser goddamnit

Re-potting a plant is a really intimate act. Maybe that's why the prospect stressed me out so much when I was a beginner

I can't commit to sweaters. Too much hassle to be getting on and off multiple times a day. There has to be a better way! (It's shawls)

Looking through my photos on my iPad, I saw some of my reply comics to @crustaceansingles.com. Some of these stand alone and I don’t even remember what they went to!

I should be allowed to put a spoon in the microwave a little bit

I've just written something about a really esoteric pursuit of mine, except I wrote it for the dozens of fellow cactus grafting nerds on the internet, meaning it has no glossing or explanations for normals. I posted it free for all to read on my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/post/Dear-re...

Sorry. Had to.

Air? Never breathe the stuff. Plants fuck in it.

"Keep talking with you-chother," said the four-year-old. The Child is too ungovernable to submit to further elicitation on the point, but I do believe that's a second-person plural reciprocal pronoun, which is neat.

When all you have is two hammers, one of them starts to look like a nail.

I do not feel very hopeful but I must have somehow some kind of hope, because I keep buying seeds.

To be immediately good at everything one tries is, of course, toxic to the human soul. But as an occasional treat, it is fantastic for morale

No plan survives contact with me thinking about it just a little more

Trying to figure out how to up my income, since not having much money seems increasingly unpopular

Now the Child has started answering my pleas for reason with a matter-of-fact "You can't stop me." This has often proved unfortunately correct.

I don't like this one very much. People said they wanted to see the ones I didn't like, so here it is. All told, with constant interruptions and the weaknesses of the fleshy vehicle, it took me at least an hour, which hardly feels worth it.

The night meds are kicking in. The mind, desperate to avoid sleep, shouts "Wait! What if we made a sandwich out of anything?" I can see these possible sandwiches in a branching tangle of timelines. Improbable and inadvisable, they call out to me. But it's too late; the body is about to zonk.

I strang together some paragraphs in pursuit of figuring out this awful quiet stretch. If you've run into anything similar, I welcome your insights. ko-fi.com/post/Why-am-...

I became this way as a joke, but I don't remember what the punchline was supposed to be.

Love being described as "rabidly" something. "You're rabidly anti-AI." "You're rabidly opposed to grass lawns." Hell yes I am. "You're rabidly biting me right now

As if the minor misery of illness wasn't enough, I have once again hit that perfect storm of sinus and throat bullshit that makes me sound exactly like Louis CK for a few days.

Two weeks later & I'm still kind of reeling from the revelation that I'm the *least* aphantasic member of my immediate family and household

Hello. Your hair looks strong. Have you been enjoying smells lately? I would like to observe a tree or a beetle together sometime.

On Facebook, I would often reply to @crustaceansingles.com’ daily comic with a reply that really beat the dead horse, took his one or two panel punchline, and carried it on to greater absurdity so his punchline became the setup. This is one of those replies. #wizardposting
