Every time someone tells me to use fewer em dashes ⸻ I bring out Big Bertha.

i saw my life branching out before me like the linktree in her bio. from the tip of every branch, a future online persona beckoned and winked: substack essayist, graphic designer, tiktok creator, podcaster, cult favorite with a patreon

T131132 Re-label the "Save" button to be "Publish", to better indicate to users the outcomes of their action From feedback we get repeatedly as a development team from interviews, user testing and other solicited and unsolicited avenues…

Wikipedia have changed the label on one of the buttons.

Something that strikes me is that the ticket was opened in 2016.

I’m also sure some people are pissed about this minor change

It's international nonbinary day. A plea to remember nonbinary means a lot of things. We have a very set idea culturally of what nonbinary looks like--white, thin, perhaps dandyish--and so many friends present that way! But many more don't, and aren't, those things. Free your mind of pigeonholes.

tbh what being nonbinary gets me is mostly just this shiftless feeling of not belonging anywhere, but also knowing without any doubt that that is where I belong. gender is a costume that I wear very well and that's about it haha

beware the ides of july

A deep-rumble motorcycle just started up nearby. As it and its driver took off down the street, they absolutely blasted the neighborhood with the chorus of "Since You Been Gone."

Chef's kiss, truly.

happy non-binary people's day

send your non-binary friends money and/or love today we are not doing great

That’s one way to describe accident detritus.

Software paid for by tax dollars should be open source. Period.

Yikes

I mean, I don’t sportsball generally, so I have a lot to learn there across the board really

Yeah, but you can also decide to not write someone off due to team allegiance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, also — I should’ve known this, but respiratorily this was a bad idea.

Eyes-wise too.

The rest of me also got a little scoured, but that has, y’know, skin and clothes and such ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oof.

Hey now

@johndonmoyer.com you came up in conversation today, btw

hello! 👋

Stepped out during the Chicago dust storm to make sure nothing around our place turned into a projectile (some things had) and witnessed:

1. A tree limb fall on a parked SUV
2. A bird get blown out of control

Also happening now re: dust storm

A screenshot of an emergency alert on a phone, it says: "Emergency alerts: Severe. National Weather Service: DUST STORM WARNING for this area until 8:30pm CDT. Be ready for sudden drop to zero visibility. Pull aside, stay alive! When visibility drops, pull far off the road and put your vehicle in park. Turn the lights off and keep your foot off the break. Infants, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues urges to take precautions"

btwn 10am Thursday and now (7pm Friday), Chicago/Cook County has been issued:
- fire weather watch
- tornado watch
- severe thunderstorm warning
- wind advisory
- dust storm warning
I have received:
- 9 texts from AlertCook
- 6 from NotifyChicago (+2 re: Beyonce)
- 4 from ChiLake
- 5 from ChiBiz

@andy.baio.net 100% every time someone asks about Madison, I will recommend Paul’s Pelmeni. It’s kind of a hole in the wall, but I will never miss it any time I’m in the area.

Also, yes, House on the Rock is a whole experience. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be mildly grossed out & impressed.

Aww, hot off the presses 🥹 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._We...

18F was eliminated outright, so we aren’t in a position to ask ourselves #whywestay. But many of our colleagues and project partners are—and in the face of chaos, they’re still doing everything they can to serve the American people. To all our fellow public servants, #weseeyou.

I love fashion so much. This is art.

Don’t wait until you think you’re “good enough” to try to be in a gallery show, apply for a grant, put yourself out there for client work, etc

You will always change and grow and in ways you will always be worried you are not good enough yet, so start moving towards your goals now

If you ever want to take up a new profession or hobby…

Oh noooo, that is amazing.

These are the types of connections that mashup DJs absolutely LIVE for.

some local indie bookstores that are close to my heart include Women & Children First and Call & Response Books!
