Play some Traveller with friends tomorrow, tidy around the apartment so it looks nice when my wife gets back from her trip, probably take my dog for a walk or two if the weather allows. If I’m feeling inspired, I want to print some zines on local foraging and go around putting them in Little Free Libraries. Should be pretty chill, and I’m not mad about that!

Accounting. The advice given to me when I went to college was “major in something ‘practical’ and minor in what you love”. I think that was good advice. That way you end up with in-demand skills and a solid fallback, but by doing minors and extra certificates, you get to spend time learning things you’re passionate about, and you can demonstrate to future employers that you are well-rounded and adaptable.

Cool, thanks!

Deleted my account. The app had gone to shit already anyway, it’s a shame there isn’t a comparable service that isn’t wholly enshittified

Handed down or sold, most likely

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline

No problem, and good luck!

I’ve gotten bulk red clover from American Meadows before, and they have white clover too

It’s easier for some people to submit to authority and believe that the immigrants, trans people, antifascists, etc are the cause of all their problems than it is for them to accept that the world is a flawed and complicated place with few clear answers.

How does goose egg taste in comparison to chicken eggs?

I mean, of the possible sponsors out there, Ground News is pretty alright. I don’t particularly need another subscription, but it seems like a valuable enough service

I work in commercial and institutional building energy efficiency. I notice myself paying way more attention to the infrastructure that normally fades into the background. Stuff like “I wonder how big the transformer for this building is?” or “Ooh, that’s a hefty cooling tower, I wonder how much chilled water they use?”

He’s not supposed to be able to. We’ll see if the administration follows his orders or the existing law, or if they’ll listen to court orders. My hopes are, unfortunately, not high.

We had a family or two of mice living under our kitchen a few months back. We ended up killing 13 total. It was horrible. I hate killing things, even if there’s no better way to deal with them as pests. It just broke my heart every time.

Now their hole is stuffed with steel wool and sealed with foam though, so I think we should be safe from their return.

Living in a Christian nationalist surveillance state sure is fun! 🙃

As I’ve begun moving my stuff away from Proton, I’ve adopted Tuta for email and Addy.io for aliases. It feels better to keep things in separate buckets.

Only if you’re okay with bland soups.

If I have the time and space, oil paint. It can be finicky, but you also have so much control over the medium
