Super excited about my first ride with the Colorado Drivers Co-op rideshare! Super affordable and quick pickup. https://www.coloradodrivers.coop/

Welcome to #MarchMaskness! To commemorate the 5th anniversary of the introduction of mask wearing to the general public*, we’re bringing together masks and respirators in this epic tournament to determine which is the greatest respirator/mask of all time* […] [Original post on zeroes.ca]

Archipelago in the #Seattle Rainer Beach area is fantastic. Fancy Filipino food, fascinating history lessons about Seattle history with each course, and the coolest music I’ve ever heard at a “nice” restaurant. It’s just all around lovely.

I’ve been having trouble uploading videos to Mastodon mobile app for a couple weeks now so I decided to try a new client. I downloaded a couple and liked #IceCubes the best. It works really well and also it’s very aesthetically pleasing, and makes the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I watch the first three episodes of Only Murders in the Building and I’m suddenly seized by the desire to learn to play a concertina. I somehow missed that these delightful instruments existed? I have an unholy love of the sound of accordions - and these come in such a cute package! Wonder how […]

Some say tomorrow’s economic blackout won’t impact the economy much and that’s probably right but if we can stick together for one day next time we can stick together for two and so on. It’s a flex and maybe we can grow it into a stronger flex.

Anyone here use https://marginalia-search.com/ ? Non-commercial, privacy oriented… I was delightfully startled to search “weaving” on there as a test and have a few #tabletWeaving results come up.

Random, but I was cleaning up some of my library stuff and stumbled across the "Unfuck your ..." [boundaries | consent | anxiety | other Mental Health items] that I got as a Humble Bundle years ago. I'd forgotten how solid these were. But even more importantly, I forgot that they came from a […]

For all I like Linux Mint, my goodness the Update Manager reminds me of '90s era Windows. New updates practically every day.

For #seattle and #washington state updates on public k-12 governance and politics check out https://rainydayrecess.substack.com/ podcast. Really informative short updates recently on what’s happening with the “big 3” related bills in the state legislative session (Big 3 education funding […]

Really fascinating piece of SF history: The Chinatown Telephone Exchange "Both male and female operators had to remember nearly 1500 names along with the owners place of residence. They had to know all of the languages spoken in Chinatown as well as all of the different dialects. These […]

A partner shared this with me about #polyamory -- https://yalereview.org/article/brandy-jensen-polycrisis I cackled out loud at the line "separated from my nesting partner to go solo poly, although lately I’ve been thinking I’m actually more of a relationship anarchist" as a way poly people […]

Right before each session, I make a line of fidget toys to my side. I seem incredibly skilled at dropping or flinging them somewhere mid-session, and I'm of course not going to fetch them while talking to a client. But I do have to chuckle at the mild sense of panic I sometimes feel as I work […]

TIL about Cleo, the pseudonym of an anonymous mathematician active on the mathematics Stack Exchange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleo_(mathematician)

Started watching #Pantheon (Netflix) on a whim this weekend and now into season 2 after a binge. It wrestles with really interesting questions. Also the jargon is hilarious — writers clearly had some access to a person with a computer science background, there’s an NP-complete joke in there […]

I am eyeing the bursts of strong wind outside with some trepidation. The bomb cyclone nonsense a few months back … scarred me a bit. Lots of Douglas Firs whipping back and forth. #seattle #redmondwa

The International Refugee Assistance Project is hiring a senior director of technology Remote role requiring travel 1-2 times per year to each IRAP office including but not limited to: Berlin, Amman, NY, and DC / min. 4 weeks of travel a year. And availability to work -5 to +3 GMT time zone […]

I love pho and ramen as much as anyone, but those aren’t the only types of noodles. I grew up eating ‘kon lo mein’, which is Cantonese for any type of ‘dry’ noodles tossed with seasoning. It can be wanton, brisket, shredded chicken, or mushroom. Or anything. Almost every noodle culture has […]

Right now, I'm working on an article that shares tips about making terra sigillata (a refined decorating slip) from #wildclay, which builds off of some older writing I've done. Here is a blog post from last year about finding and foraging clay in nature […]

Just discovered my bridged account over on bluesky has actual followers?! Hello! Amazing. Hope folks over there know they need to follow this account https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy so we can interact between the two places. More info here https://fed.brid.gy/

THIS HOTPOT IN SEATTLE IS SO GOOD. not just one, but THREE boiling temp soups Qiao Lin at the Seattle Center. There’s a Hai Di Lao across the street, which I always love, but Qiao Lin is similar maybe even better, and 30% cheaper #Food #Seattle #chinesefood

Permission to post a #dog on holy #Caturday?

I have bought a paper copy of Usha’s Pickle Digest from Thrift Books because I can’t get the electronic version out of Kindle, and it arrived today. I am now awash in pickle recipes that look delicious and have no idea where to start.

Tried Gemini the other day on my work account, asking it to tell me all calendar spots on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays that were free every week and which ones were free every other week. (Super useful for therapist scheduling.) But of course, that was too much to ask for, and it said […]

I kicked the weekend off last night with a rollicking and delightful cozy evening at home with my bff (@gairdeachas ), where we created a new in joke about garlic. Today I have a friend over for tea, and tomorrow another friend over for crafting. I think this is basically an introvert party […]

This morning while making my coffee, I left the door open to the porch, because there was absolutely lovely birdsong outside. Unfortunately was too cold to do it for long, but that’s such a lovely quiet moment.

April Elliott: Pineapple Express expected in Pacific Northwest April is a meteorologist in Portland that I worked with during my time there. She’s very knowledgeable and her new blog is well worth a follow […]

I have made it to season 2, episode 12 of Parks and Recreation and happy to report that it’s finally gotten funny. (Much of the episodes up to this point were a second screen to Stardew Valkey or tablet weaving, not that I slogged through all of it fully.)

Chris Kluwe did a civil disobedience! (If you don’t remember him, but recognize the words “lustful cockmonster”, that is his phrase.) https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2025/02/19/chris-kluwe-arrest-maga-protest/79240528007/#

Hmmm, #Calibre confusion: I've got a Calibre server up and serving my library to local devices on my home network. But Sync doesn't seem to be working (or I'm misunderstanding what it does)? If I open a book on my phone, I can read to a certain spot and come back after closing the webpage. It […]
