I don’t care what someone’s politics are, making negative comments about their body is so cringe.
"Hey Siri, how might Michael Foucault approach the term "urbanist" as a discursive object?"
Thought I’d check out WordPress to try out the Automattic updates, just for fun. Spun up a site, imported 2500 posts, and now it’s toast. I guess that experiment is over.
Shout out to all your coworkers who are wrangling little kids and still working remotely during these storms. They’re barely hanging on but still keeping your shit running.
Also shout out to libraries. Today’s work is sponsored by Spider-Man books and Scooby-Doo DVDs.
On some of these dark and cooped up winter nights, I have too much time with my thoughts and memories. Tonight I was feeling nostalgic for the places I used to live, even though I know I’m better off with where I’m at now. Still, the present can feel so suffocating at times.
Signed up for a 3-week language class at PCC and the first two classes are cancelled due to weather.
I've been trying to figure out a way include my kids' grandparents in my POSSE adventures since I will never pry Facebook from their hands. Every time I leave the site, I invariably get complaints about them wanting updates. This is pretty much the only reason I wish Threads would federate.

I was 9 years old the last time the Lions won a playoff game. 🏈
One of my favorite accounts on Instagram is Zillow Gone Wild. It’s a great study in the American mind.
After a 25 year hiatus, I’m thinking about getting back into hacky sack.
Learning about custom routing and collections in Ghost. I’m thinking this might be the key to hosting two blogs at one address (micro and otherwise) while keeping their content separate.
Got our wish
Offloaded my new planning blog from a subdomain to its own domain. Hoping I didn’t break too much in the process.
I need to research easy-to-use (and free/affordable) data visualization tools for web publications, particularly map data. Looking like maybe Leaflet with Mapbox.
Had some fast food for lunch today and the sesame seeds reminded me of this bit by Mitch Hedberg:
Tech companies who use two-factor e-mail verifications where the numbers are visible directly from mobile banner notifications are doing god’s work. Few things are as unnecessarily annoying as having to click over to open the email to copy/paste.
Couldn’t stand the guy or his cult, but I’ll concede Reagan got one thing right:
If you’re explaining, you’re losing.
Currently experiencing the complete meltdown of the Fred Meyer curbside grocery pickup system. Been here almost 2 hours waiting on a pickup that was already an hour delayed.
