I just made risotto for the first time while listening to horror movies, and I put in probably too much Swiss chard and some wild boar sausage that was Reduced for Quick Sale. It looks like goop and tastes divine! (I loved wild boar when I ate it in Europe. No, not the same. But good.)

I saw The Umbrellas of Cherbourg for the first time tonight (in 4k restoration) because the live-scored showing of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari got postponed.

The Alamo Drafthouse Queer Theory series is so good that I sometimes have to steal an extra order card to write down citations for later. Today I wrote a note to follow up on this: sunypress.edu/Books/T/Toni...

Love Hurts was really good and funny, by the way - strong recommend, great fight scenes and sweet but not too sappy

The high wind conditions interrupted my movie at the theater, so I’ll take the opportunity to say that I’m sorry about how they’re going to keep making more Jurassic movies for the audience of me, the dinosaur movie trash enjoyer

I should back this up a bit: even right now, I have to say how sincerely that my new job RULES. I am working with people every day who are focused on doing a good job providing government services that actively help people.

I am honestly still figuring some things out in terms of being in civic tech now as a people manager in a contracting position, and what I would feel comfortable saying vs not saying on social. It is definitely different!

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it makes perfect sense. I want to once again offer that it's so much better to immerse yourself in only one or two things. Follow the news about just those focus areas. Importantly find concrete small actions to take in those specific areas. Key is consistency.

My original Virginia birth certificate has my hyphenated last name and also still has its hilarious dot matrix printer edges intact for whenever I have to prove myself to someone official.

My favorite thing as a software engineer who has had a hyphenated last name since I was an infant in the 1980s is filling out an online a healthcare-related form in the 2020s that doesn't believe in hyphens and I have to guess which way they want me to fix that for them. The best!!!

I worked for Lutheran Social Services of Iowa when I was there, on the AM shift, in a house of 12 and later 13 kids. We had hardly any money at all. Our kids needed every penny in our budget. Defunding orgs like LSSIA is an act of violence against children. Puts one in the mind of a green plumber

Without thinking I used “we” today in conversation with a work bestie from my old company but I was talking about my new company, so I guess it’s really real!

Taking down a 12ft Home Depot Skeleton is truly a two-person job, and today was the day - to the neighborhood stroll person who witnessed me packing up the limbs and said “ohh.. I liked looking at it” - me too 💕

Emily bought me a Kindle Voyage for one of our early wedding anniversaries and if you can find one, I hear it’s easy to jailbreak (which I haven’t done yet), easy to replace the battery (which I need to do soon), and I am not concerned about it trying to do much beyond being a fantastic e-reader
