I just need to put this out there: the process of setting up a second nintendo switch to be able to play multiplayer minecraft with my 9-year-old kid, who is also playing minecraft on a nintendo switch, is REALLY FREAKING BYZANTINE

Marbles by Ellen Forney is freaking GREAT and I found it deeply helpful to me. If you like a compelling autobiography in graphic novel form, read it. If you don't like that kind of thing then there's something wrong with you #booksky

aaaaand: Gavin Newsom is anti-trans rights now. Thanks for giving a platform for an anti-trans-rights jerk, and for agreeing with them, Gavin! open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Hey, #dorico users who make musical theatre scores - what's your best recommendation for a printer that can print 9"x12" paper?

Curtis Sittenfeld (aka @csittenfeld.bsky.social) is such a total badass, and this short story collection is glorious. 💙📚#booksky. If you like your protagonists flawed and hilarious and questioning themselves (as I do), this is what you need to read now.

Spaghetti Mummy for breakfast. Rory’s idea because Halloween lasts all year.

Hey everybody! Just popping in here to reiterate that trans rights are human rights, that diversity, equity and inclusion are still worthy aims to pursue with rigor, and that the pendulum always swings back in the other directions. Please hang on.

changing all of my images everywhere to trans rights stuff today. It feels like I'm shouting into the void but it makes me feel marginally better

Let's all just take a deep breath in. And then a deep breath out. And then let's do it again:
A deep breath in,
and a deep breath out,
nice and slow.
Okay.
Ignore the idiot and keep working to make things better with every other human you get to interact with today.

thanks, friend
