I tried implementing a server-side #atproto auth client from scratch and gave up after a few days because it turns out it’s just… not possible?? Not without a pretty deep understanding of OAuth and JWTs and JWKs and PKCE and PAR and DPoP and and and…

Skill issue, maybe, but not a great experience.

The fish market workers take refuge on the fish market roof and look down to the street where the fire-breathing Chihuahua is blasting a jet of flame at their storefront. Heathcliff stands smugly by holding a freshly pilfered fish. One of the workers says, "Everything is catching, Yes, everything is catching on fire."

if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now.

the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE.

we need you to call senators: reps.fyi

Update: I went to the gym five times and walked and ran on the treadmill very slowly, which still turned out to be too much too soon, and I injured my knees. Now I get to do physical therapy for a couple months. 🎉

It's a reinterpretation of Magritte's "Treachery of Images." Here, we've smashed it together with pod racing from Star Wars Episode 1: "Now, _this_ is une pipe."

The "Cracker Barrel" logo which substitutes capybaras for the man in the chair. One capybara is in the barrel, the other is standing in front of it. The logo says "Cappy Barrel" and the caption says "Half restaurant. All Hup."

every democrat who does not speak out about this enables it. what the administration is doing here is a large-scale tactic to isolate trans people and strengthen future attacks on us. the gains we have made are built on visibility and public knowledge of us and our needs.

Rendering of a prehistoric marine arthropod with a long, segmented body with many fins along the sides, five round, black eyes, and a long proboscis with a claw at the end.

There was once an active Facebook fan group for this guy, Opabinia, where they called its proboscis thing a “snabber” or “snib-snabber.” I remember this. But now I can’t find any evidence that such a group existed, or that anyone ever called it a (snib-)snabber. This is my personal Mandela effect.

Computers were down at the pharmacy so getting my prescription took about half as long as usual. Remind me why we have computers?
