Hey folks, things are getting a bit more desperate here in freelance land. Work has been very, very sparse for a while now. If you know of any opportunities for digital comms or social media stuff, do get in touch. All budgets considered.

I've listened to several Mastodon songs over the years, they've made their way onto playlists, mainly for the gym. But tonight was the first time I've listened to an album, WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME HOW PROG THEY ARE?!?! The deep cuts are like metal Rush, it's incredible

Now our kitchen remodel has finished I need to wean myself off meal deals and lose 15-20lbs of weight as a result. Anyone got any interesting lunch recipes?

After 3 years I've given up on mechanical keyboards. I'm so much faster and accurate on my MacBook keyboard. I'll miss the clickety clack

No weeknote this week, feels weird to write about tiny little work stuff. I'll share this instead michaelrosenblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/fasc...

I found a book of stamps + some ziploc bags so I have made up a dozen packs of stickers left over from Govcamp and my Sticker Shop days - if you would like a pack DM me an address and I'll post them this week. Each pack has 10 stickers - one pack per person! 1st come, 1st served! **FREE STICKERS**

Working at my parent's doesn't cost any money, but I pay in other ways, such as tech support, or listening to gossip about distant family friends

Had a page redesign to implement today that seemed huge so I just typed until it was done and it's done now. I don't love coding, but I love *having* coded

Time to stop starting every day with a 15 minute gaze into the void. Sorry bsky, you really showed promise but the current world situation means I'll only come here for notifications and the occasional share from now on

Love this TV storytelling/editing insight. Sort of obvious, but great to have it broken down... joelmorris.substack.com/p/the-traito... (picked up via @undermanager.bsky.social’s very excellent newsletter — buttondown.com/russell)

I am and have always been DIY inept. I have big clumsy hands and poor patience for fiddly tasks. But I also just managed to replace my bathroom extractor fan and I’m overjoyed
