Here he is reciting his favorite, Sonnet 116. I love this one too--it's one of a few I know by heart, & I chose it to read at a very dear friend's wedding years ago. @jodyrosen.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/3Gbt9...

Ordered items from a local chocolatier to sell in the museum shop. I joked to the rep that the second I opened the box, I'd be swarmed by colleagues. He sent samples. God bless you, chocolate shop sales rep. They knew the box was here and they were WAITING for me to arrive. 😅

Just used the phrase "pain points" in a meeting and on the one hand, bleh corporate speak but on the other, if you're going to tech bro at me, I'm going to tech bro right back at you.

How my last moments of packing for @viableparadise.bsky.social goes: -Where is my capo? -I thought I bought a cartridge converter for this pen wtf. -Hoodie? Fingerless gloves? Hairbrush? -Should I pack my dice? -Where did I leave that charger. -Okay, *which* dice? -Too much yarn, put some back.

You should hire Michele. They're one of a very small number of developers who, when they reach out, I say, "Yes, now what's the project?"

I know I am An Old. I know that having a paper trail is good, actually. But also sometimes I just want to call customer service and talk to a human to get things sorted because it's SIMPLY FASTER THAT WAY. This cloud-yelling brought to you by trying to order some books for an upcoming author talk.

Making progress and got work, but a lot of it will get paid midway through next month, so boosting again I know we’re all struggling, and some folks I’m signal boosting need help even more than we do So i am forever grateful

I hate to have to do this again, but starting another (hopefully smaller) GFM. We are trying to start new endeavors, but we need to stay housed until then. gofund.me/f1aa8129f

Jewell Parker Rhodes wrote TOWERS FALLING for kids born after 9/11. It doesn't pretend we were a country united after the fact, addressing racism, fear, and trauma. The book is both gentle and honest, and I still think about it 10 years after its original publication. bookshop.org/p/books/towe...

In case you missed it, Hunter spent the night in the expensive oxygen place without issue. That part is great. He is still in the expensive oxygen place. That part is not great. This account will be JAMMING today. If you need to mute me, I will be threading so you can mute threads vs whole shop.

Scheduled my covid/flu shots for Sunday, figuring I'd have Monday off to recover (museum's closed, I can loll about on the couch if need be.) Dentist: Appointment reminder! Doctor's office: Appointment reminder! Damn it, past me.

Listen, I know this is only at 9% of votes counted and the lead may not hold, but I hope that at minimum Stephen Lynch has gnawed off several fingernails.

Happy Seth Moulton Loses Day to all who celebrate!

In light of the Passing of Icons Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, remember what they stood for. Be Good, Be funny, Be weird, Be yourself without compromise, but most of all, be Kind. Be loving, be a Light, shining into the world that shouts "You are not alone and I love you."

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

Study/craft space rearranging continues. I put a shelf in one Kallax cube, Ada instantly crams herself into the space. Fine, okay, it's her pass-through. Swap it to a different spot. Tendi: OH IS THIS FOR ME. *wriggles in* I need someone to organize my cats, apparently.

Just found a necklace I put in Jewelry Time Out months ago and I'm annoyed at it all over again. 😂

Somehow, I don't think this is what the Ikea instructions meant.
