I don't mind being mugged by Girl Scouts outside the pharmacy, but parents, you've gotta let them handle the transaction or you're missing the entire point of the exercise.

Sorry not sorry for all the random animal retweets lately, there's so much depressing stuff in the world that I feel helpless to counterbalance other than little bits of joy.

Today is Owen's big day!

It's interview day for his position as a DEN CATS member. His first day all dressed up in the terminal, to see how he handles the crowds.

Initial reports suggest: you got this, Owen.

It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site.

Two golden brown and white dogs lay all over a brown chesterfield covered in pillows and flowery blankets. Sunlight covers them from a large window out of frame

Fluffy gray tabby with big gold eyes, lying on a gray oval cat perch beside a window. Thereโ€™s an odd hexagonal shadow over his head, but itโ€™s his from a bird-strike prevention sticker. We have a whole wall of east-facing windows, and used to have a problem finding dead birds on the driveway below; then I put those reflective vinyl decals everywhere, and it hasnโ€™t happened since.

2, don't make this card, 5, don't make this card, 7 would be my answer.

The problem is that red has a lot of ritual effects and so has the tools to cheat both mana count and color leading to some very ugly possibilities.

In 2023, I managed to slip out before the layoffs hit me, and landed a new role in 2 business days.

In 2024, I managed to secure a new role in 31 days, leaving 3 weeks before those layoffs hit.

Unfortunately, I couldn't keep dancing through the lightning strikes.

I'm now looking for work.

Fluffy gray tabby asleep upside down with his chin in the air and his tongue poking out. His feet are tucked in the bunny foo-foo position, and his whiskers look like a splash of white graffiti on the gray couch.

I took a walk and a nap and I'm still hot under the collar over some of the opinions I saw cross my TL from people who'd actually made some good/educational content.

And hey, if you're looking for someone with 10+ years of experience in game dev as a designer, producer, community manager, and editor-in-chief, hit me up. I keep a look out for problems that I am uniquely positioned to help solve, and if you have one of those, I will likely be interested.

Galen did not bite, scratch, or yell at the vet. So that's something.
