There’s a pair of great horned owls calling back and forth outside my window and I am so thrilled I don’t even care that it’s keeping me awake.

There’s always a place here for you and yours!

You are the master of your fate.

One of these days, I need to figure out how to get rid of all the sports-related “trending hashtags “ on my feed.

Look, if you really want to stay up till 2 AM, that’s on you.

Think of all the things we put in a ziplock bag without a thought. Folks in the past had the same needs for small storage, but no plastic. So this could have held anything from a set of every day handkerchiefs to a fancy pocket watch to a little glass dish used on special occasions.

The shahada is the phrase one says to convert to Islam. Like there’s a phrase to say to convert to Christianity.

Did not have “Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns” on my bingo card for today, but here we are.

But not my skill. Someone else’s skill.

Fair.

I already won two major knife fights, and I’m not eager to test my luck!

Look, you. I’m hoping to _avoid_ that bit!

Here’s the first hour, if you’re interested. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ojkx...

Ok, here’s the deal: you’re going to want to keep track of Rae and Type Speaks. The chance to talk about design from a different angle than I usually get to explore was an absolute joy. Rae is a great interviewer and I hope I get a chance to do a Part THREE some day.

Oh heck! This was so fun.

This is exactly the humility/honesty/courage to say "I don't know that word" that I was talking about the other day with @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social More like this, please. I want statespeople who are willing to learn things live on air, be corrected about things, and incorporate that new info.

Thanks for your kind words! Acupuncture didn't seem to help in 6 visits, but moist heat and massage give some relief. And of course arnica cream like it's my job.

I've come to love speech-to-text for a bunch of stuff, but it sure doesn't work for doing textile work 😂

I wear a wrist brace almost all the time these days, and we will be trying to ergonmicize a way for me to work. Thanks for your good wishes!

I know the anti-cancer meds I'm on can have a degenerative impact on joints, but it's not like I'm going to stop those, so my mind chases itself around. It was easy to say thanks & goodbye to my boobs, but my hands?!!? Fuck that. Hate that. Not doing that.

As with any chronic pain issue, half of it is physical, but the psychological part is as brutal. So much of who I am is tied up in the work of my hands, & in our modern age, so much of my connection to others is through typing.

What is de Quervain’s tenosynovitis? De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is painful swelling around your thumb tendons. Here’s how to treat it, and what you can do to prevent it in the future.

Wrist pain, folks. Damn. This has been going on since August of 2024, when I blew out my wrist on a writing job. I did OT from Nov 2024 to March 2025. It helped, but this current flare, that started about a month ago, really does suck. Take care of your hands.

True, but it would be rude.

Ok, it’s fixed. I’m going to bed and everything is tidy. Whew.

Ohhhhhh noooooo!

I fully remember putting important stuff On Top Of My Shoes for that exact reason.

I think Vincent would find that unfair.

Alas, I must persevere!

Ever do that thing where you pull apart a whole mess and spread it out on your bed so you absolutely Must deal with it before you can go to sleep?

Ever forget you did that because other stuff came up?

Yeah.
