I'm so glad I took monday post gen con off of work, all the compiled exhaustion of the previous week finally hit me and I napped so hard today
what I've learned from gen con bathrooms is that men are not eating enough fiber bros are locked in the stalls for 30 minutes
gen con day three!! daggerheart workshop with @deldubbin.bsky.social with the new hope & fear expansion
gen con so fun...I love games I love my friends I love game with friends and hearing about friend games
winning my child of the year award by driving halfway across the cities in rush hour traffic to go to my mom's birthday party, expending every social battery I have to be interesting to old people, and then booking it back across town to hockie (all this the night before gen con)
feeling quite chuffed today got a s/o during team retro from my manager bc I contributed to an external repo owned by one of the higher level individual contributors in our org, and the IC was v impressed with my work ready to ollie out at the end of the day on a high note for GEN CON!!
anybody else have the thing when your subconscious sends you one of those fuzzy warm, feel good yet simultaneously confusing dreams where you just want to fall back asleep but then it also got you contemplating way too much, so you partially go back into the dream to figure shit out
thanks for stopping by for da teal keeb building stream!! teal spent a little more time playing legos, and this is what they decided on! it came out so cute and sounded so nice. everyone tell teal they did a good job picking out switches
hehehehe *playing more board games with friends* I also convinced brian and nic to play fate of the fellowship with me and it's so much harder yet dynamic in co-op. I'm spreading this game to as many people who say yes to playing it with me >:)
guys my new overlords took away our annual bonus (I only got it for one year from the last acquisition anyway 💀) but they give us a smaller "experience bonus" that we're supposed to use for like, travel, events, or concerts now accepting your best/worst ideas for what qualifies as "an experience":
the state of AI in tech these days means I'm forced to read my coworker's overly complex AI generated slop, which I KNOW for a fact he doesn't get how it works but it's either my job to try and spend time to understand it in code review, or else just hit the lgtm and move on with my fucking day
my other gym closes on sundays so I had to go to the other close one. and what the hell is wrong with people here dog there's a lady barking (like actually yipping) on the stairmaster and a guy on a face time call in the middle of the gym yelling on at the top of his lungs
RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

As ICE captures spike across the US, re-upping this story about Habeas Flight Watch, an activist-built tool to help you know when an ICE flight is headed to your city. Can help legal teams/community members triage habeas filings, flight observations, etc. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...
Yesterday ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father, husband, and beloved neighbor who spent 35 years building a life in the U.S. Our hearts are heavy with grief for his family and all those suffering at the hands of ICE, CBP, and this administration's unrelenting cruelty.
my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up
s/o to MSP metro transit for doing such a good job with bus coverage during the light rail maintenance. I was not aware of it when I went to catch the train today, but the signage + bus service was just as good as the train. public transit saves me so much money and it's so convenient when I need it
