Listen to every word.

We are likely going to extend this call for papers, so it’s not too late to send something in!

Cana Island, Door County. Gorgeous area that circles Moonlight Bay. During the season, a tractor is used to drive over a shallow, water-covered road to the small island and its lighthouse. #doorcounty #dcwi #wisconsin

The Sturgeon Bay Canal trail was ready for a sunny morning. The waters of Lake Michigan are pristine this time of year #trailrunning #doorcounty #dcwi #sturgeonbay #wisconsin #landtrust

New Big Black Delta album has such juicy shades of 80s/90s new wave. #bigblackdelta #musicsky youtube.com/watch?v=QvKS...

Is there a word in any language that encapsulates that feeling when, while enjoying a bowl of oatmeal, one suddenly becomes repulsed by the texture? #oatmeal #healthyeating

Now do right to repair

The cowards that make up the WIGOP are ghosting town halls rather than face constituents. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r... #wisconsin #forward

Idea for next year: a 5k on the frozen bay...who's down? #doorcounty #thesturge #trailrunning #potawatomistatepark #widnr #wistateparks

Finally sorted out the audio issues so TGSF is finally ready to start streaming. Jason Stanley's How Fascism Works has been a good primer and, based on his chapter "The Mythic Past," am going to start off with BioShock Infinite. Now to figure out the schedule... #thesegamessmashfascism #videogames

@zackkruse.bsky.social

Have been part of the Google ecosystem since getting my Gmail account invite. Between this and the Gulf bs, it's clear the "do not evil" days are toast. Time to ghost this joint. #google #gmail

I miss rocketboom but am glad Paper Rad is still kicking. #retrowebring #worldwideweb #netscape

King Gizzard in the SB commercial bumper? King Gizzard at the bowling alley jukebox? Must mean a new album is coming out soon #kinggizzard

Doesn't look it now, but some killer interactive installations are going to be developed here, in the new studio space. Surely some painting as well...

Today's short run was a bit rough on every joint from the waist down...the reward was the inspiration for an assignment #placemaking #writing #iat #iceagetrail #trailrunning #wisconsin #doorcounty #dcwi

Musk & cronies are purging data from US archives, but critical information can be recovered by people who are tech savvy. This Reddit post & the comments on it provide key information to preserve this important material.It takes a collective effort. Coders Please help. #USDemocracy #BlueCrew

February's Antifa Action Of The Month Challenge: Show Them Where You Stand! Do something to show people that you oppose fascism & stand with the people targeted by fascists. Why you should do this + resources to help you do it: antifaintl.substack.com/p/february-2... #antifa, #antifascism

@maryengel54.bsky.social @officiousbrick.bsky.social @slkp.bky.social @Ekab28.bsky.social I followed You and other Family Members as well. Lots of Parakeets today.

Recalling a rhetorical analysis exercise where we critiqued Reagan's speech after the Challenger explosion, comparing it to the regulatory shortcuts and budgets cuts his administration foisted onto NASA. GOPs replacement of experts with (if anyone) bootlickers is going to cause many lives.

Platforms like substack are precisely why I created a platforms literacy course. Too many are unknowledgeable and quick to hand the keys over to these "services" that are little more than fronts for this brand of bullshit. #platformliteracy

DeepSeek's privacy policy and terms of use atm. #gai #deepseek

Wasn't quite ready to call it a day at the @globalgamejam.bsky.social so used some assets made for others to try out GameMaker. Have a few more details to add (animate player, change background for win state). #whatamIdoing #gamemaker #ggj

Spending the GGJ kicking off the These Games Smash Fascism project. No more mulling over branding - time to put something together and commit. Now editing the first podcast recording and then streaming starts next week. The GGJ has been good for the dedicated time but also the inspiration. #ggj25

All the more reason to take business to #Costco (unknowing supplier of sugary and salty consumables at our Green Bay game jams). #Target has moved closer to Wallymart in quality and vibe anyways. #votewithyourdollar

The Global Game Jam has begun! Steaming some amazing speakers before the theme reveal: twitch.tv/gggreenbay @globalgamejam.bsky.social #ggj25 #gamejam

A couple more from this morning: Cave Point and another from the the highest dune in Wisconsin (93'). Love how the cloud wall may still be seen in the horizon. Hard to capture the icicle formations, sound of waves beneath me at Cave Point...will bring Nikon next time. #wistateparks #doorcounty

Trailrun on the Old Baldy trail, Whitefish Dunes State Park. At twelve degrees, the lake air saturates to the bone, finding breath a bit more labored. Rewarded by an encrusted shoreline peppered with shards of sunlight. #lakemichigan #doorcounty #trailrun #pixel7pro #widnr #wi #wistateparks

Couple more from the Ice Age Trail over the weekend; learned that lithium ion batteries don't work well when it's this cold. #pixel7pro #trailrun #iceagetrail #iat #dcwi #widnr #potawatomistatepark #doorcounty

This might be my favorite art challenge. Who else is doing this? @gnsiart.bsky.social #sciart #scicomm #vizscicomm

I'm so very, very close to convincing my folks to get off of Facebook... #fingerscrossed

Trail run through Potawatomi; sure there are other trails but the various segments all offer something new. Today was all about the silence...outside of the Fincantieri horn, it was nothing but wind through the evergreens. #iceagetrail #doorcounty #wisconsin #dcwi #widnr #wistateparks

The Wilfred Sykes docking with a little help from "Jimmy." #sturgeonbay #doorcounty #dcwi #boatnerds

Falling behind but here's today's pixel-in-a-minute. #asprite #pixelart

Today's "pixel in a minute": an industrial area featuring a single smokestack. Asprite's jumble tool made the smoke much easier. #asprite #pixelart

Last trail run of 2024, Potawatomi State Park, Wisconsin. A small stretch of the Niagara Escarpment. #widnr #wisconsin #lovewistateparks #doorcounty #dcwi

Not my first polar plunge but first with snowfall. Temps were mild, unlike my once-agreeable son's attitude when his alarm went off (he still went!). #polarplunge2025 #doorcounty #dcwi #sturgeonbay #wisconsin
