Last year a groundhog ruined my garden. This year I have a raised bed and fencing. I saw this fuck sniffing around, but no salad greens for you, groundhog. Farmer McGregor would be proud.

Fyre fest but for even shittier people.

“These other queens ain’t got no flow Bye bye honey, you’re hot to go!”

“My name is Chappell, and I’m here to say…”

#nowspinning Tres Hombres by ZZ Top. 1973. Dad is in town and gotta play the music we both like. This album wins the award for best gatefold food spread by a landslide. Some day I’ll get it framed.

I love watching students push themselves outside of their comfort zones at the ropes course. And I love that the lead teacher pushes me to go outside of my comfort zone. Here’s my first time climbing using claws to fix a lead line that fell down.

Goodbye, light fixture I hated (and didn’t take a before pic of). Hello, fandelier! Fortunately the idiot that flipped my house didn’t fuck up the old installation too much. With no central AC having a fan in this room will be nice.

#nowspinning Viagr Aboys by Viagra Boys. 2025. The absurd satire of masculinity is back. A little chaotic and the cover art rules. Bonus: the track listing is like a pick-your-own flash tattoo.

I respect a solid grudge. Look who is angry now, goose

On May 18th, 2013, magic happened. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, DENNY’S!? #knowyourhistory youtu.be/9t1aUWlT1TI?...

I love when the taste of espresso lingers in the mouth. Been pulling Craig’s coffee Guatemala beans lately. 18.5g in, 37g out. Using a Londinium profile. The chocolate and melon notes definitely come through. #espresso #coffeenerd #gaggiuino

I loved the first two seasons of Pokerface, but this season has shit the bed. I’m watching for Natasha Lyonne. I don’t need 15 minutes of awkward shitty acting before she even shows up.

The Pert Plus of vaccines is coming!

Screen printing at family day at Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit with @erindwyer.bsky.social and our daughter. I’ll leave it you to guess who created which one. I’m so glad that MOCAD has continued to do family days and provide a free way for people to try different techniques. Next one is 6/14

#nowspinning The real Work by Part Dozen. 2022. Saw them play last night with Lambrini girls and they absolutely ripped. It’s chaotic. It has saxophone. It’s fun.

The Lambrini Girls concert in Hamtramck was a fucking blast. First time in the pit in a while. My ankle is a little banged up, but i would do it all again. Their crowd work was fantastic. And Party Doze. Was a fun opening act. Glad I picked up their record.

Student: Teacher, why do we learn? Socrates: For life! Freire: For liberation! Dewey: For democracy! Neoliberal EduWonks: To mitigate overhead costs for employers and increase future projections of GDP!

Can confirm. This was a perfect cocktail post yard work.

Just got my Keep Growing Detroit seedlings and some seeds into the ground. Last year critters ate most of my seedlings. This year I’m trying raised beds and chicken wire to keep my plants safe. The cold crop distribution is a test run. Stay safe plants!

Welcome, spring. Let the apple tree blossom.

A point of teaching citations is for students understand that sources can be looked up by others. With LLMs there is no way to see the what sources were used. In my experience I can’t always get reproducible results. It negatively impacts how students understand knowledge construction.

Is this seriously happening again. The audacity to flub getting signatures last election and then to ask me for money this election. Get on the ballot first, Hollier.

The Dead Milk menned so the Viagra could boys.

The bar I’m at for union happy hour is playing hamster obstacle course YouTube videos that my daughter watches. This! At a bar!?!? Old man yells at cloud.

The bears have spoken. #duolingo

Craig’s Coffe of the month is Costa Rica Tarrazu, Montano Anaerobic Honey. Tasting notes of blackberry, cinnamon, mango, and raspberry. Pulled using a Londinium profile at 92oC. 18.5g in and 37g out. With a longer pull it gets too bitter. #espresso #coffee

Been a great start for o my crit season. Three races: 2nd, 1st, and 2nd. Two weeks ago I was beating opponents who could be my kid. This week (beating and getting beat by) opponents that could be my dad.

Le Tigre is now tv commercial music. This one hurts.

DMs are open, and I will cover any Harry Potter tattoo for absolutely FREE. Also I don't know anything about tattoos or how to do them or have any equipment

The hot new cocktail is Malört-ischewitz

Record store day spin number 3. #nowspinning Mr. Heartbreak by Laurie Anderson. 1984. It’s been about 25 years since I first picked up Big Science. Her second album has a similar weird but is much more jubilant. I’m digging it. #recordstoreday
