Are you shopping for a home right now? Or were you planning to buy a home -- but are now putting it off? Did you just buy?

I'm working on a story for @npr.org, and I'd love to hear from you.

Drop me a line with your situation and a good phone number to reach you. I'm at lwamsley@npr.org. Thanks!

It's easy to build as on well. A can of sliced, black olives, some capers, canned tuna, and/or some herbs can shift the flavor profile.

Everyone should know about Moonshine, the emotional support dog. She's a silver-grey lhasa apso x keeshond cross who is friendly, loving, and has a fabulous sense of style. Her signature color is chartreuse, from her blankie to her water dish to her jaunty little hair bow.

I’d love it if you and/or @viticci.macstories.net did a deep dive on the zeitgeist of the community on this topic.

The first car cosplay I’ve seen in the wild.

Thanks! I had meant to read that but had not gotten to it.

It feels like one who is in exile has the right of return in a way one who is banished does not. Also, banishment feels more personal (Someone, like a King or a lover banishes someone from their presence or place — banished from court or their sight) while exile is political/geographical.

Ten whole years!

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Share "The Living South" with your friends The Living South is growing the old-fashioned way, with people telling people they like it.

Why should you share this?

Social media companies don't want independent media to succeed unless they pay the social media company. So let's grow the old-fashioned way, by people telling people they like this. ❤️

This is a brave decision — unsurprising, given your track record. Nevertheless, I am impressed and proud to be part of the MacStories community.

Bravo!

@lorepodcast.bsky.social Hi!

One thing the Progressive Left (where surveys often place me) may need to consider is whether they make it too difficult to be an ally. That may be driving some away even though they are in sympathy with its causes.

I can’t find the app’s name, but there was a note taking app (back in the skewmorphic days) that I really liked that was purchased. I believe that they used it to build Apple’s handwriting engine as those features appeared in Notes a little afterward. I’ll keep looking to see if I can find it.

Right now, I need to finish a project on Sam Gamgee’s different devotions to Frodo and Rosie and what it can tell us about the fictional history of the LotR so I can finish thinking through/writing on the influence of John Dee on WB Yeats’ A Vision.

I’ll have time for that any day now.

If your silly little cartoons bring us a moment of happiness, you’re doing a lot for us.
