I am very much enjoying how, in @500songspodcast.bsky.social , both David Bowie and Rod Stewart keep turning up in the narrative extremely minor and _drastically different_ ways.

I have made it through three days of peak prednisone. I am feeling enough better that I do not want someone to bring a bar fight to my bedside. I can go out and look for one myself. I dislike predisone.
I doubt anyone on this app cares, but my LinkedIn account was apparently hacked and I don't care enough to give them my government ID. So, if an apparent Swiss blonde bombshell asks you for money or something via LinkedIn, it is not me.
It is a particular satisfaction to report a bug and later see the bug fixed in a patch.
Hey folks! I'm going to have a little medical downtime in early September (cataract surgery) so I'm taking advantage of that enforced rest to offer 4 writing mentoring sessions at $750/each.
Listening to @500songspodcast.bsky.social, one of the many things I am struck by is the absolutely unreal amount of bigamy going on. I guess recordkeeping was not really up to keeping track of marriages and divorces.
Weirdly, I think I'd be fine at running a Poshmark store. I'd have to do a bunch of pricing research to catch up, though.

Cheese. Preferably something close to Michael's proprietary cheese sauce but melted whatever will do in a pinch.

Turns out our minisplits have "formicary corrosion" which is an evocative name for what turns out to be a materials issue that our plumbing company, WHO WE DO BUSINESS WITH REGULARLY, could have _mentioned_ at some point in the several years since they realized it was a problem.
Rule 1) No nazis. It doesn't matter if they're upper- or lower-case "n"; they're out. It doesn't matter if they did a thing out of irony or conviction; they're out. Rule 2) Repeat Rule 1 forever.
A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

I eat hotdogs either naked or with cheese. The virtues of the proper Chicago dog are lost on me.
John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · 3mo agoHere I invite you to be a micro-heretic. To bring small shame on your people. Tell me about a highly praised thing in your hometown/area that all locals LOVE except YOU. I’m from the Seattle area. Taco Time is nothing special. Bland. Not horrible but not worth going out of your way. Now you go!
You know what I miss from most of the modern radio music I hear these days? The kind of extravagant musicianship that used to be easy to find - instrumental solos, guitarists whose fist I can pick out whoever they play with, that kind of thing. Who's doing that this days that I'm missing?

People look at my sketches and say "hey you're pretty good at that," not realizing that getting to "pretty good" involved art classes through AP Drawing and Painting and literally hundreds of hours of practice. I look mildly talented! I am not talented! I am a highly trained and experienced doodler.
Anna Phylaxis@quatoria.bsky.social · 4mo agoSO many people think that art is a talent you're born with, instead of a skill you learn, develop, and hone, like any other skill.
"Live off the rain and the dirt" is one I'm hanging onto, thanks.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
