man, imagine if instead of wasting my time, then insisting I needed to show a receipt from '17, the support center would have pity and send me the $7 (retail price) fix that's what I would have done anyway. maybe it's good I'm not in tech anymore anyway I fixed my keyboard! for $7, and lost time

in October I like painting pokemon in the #bulletjournal (I'm real pleased with the shading on that Mimikyu)
Bullet journal cover page for October: the month name written in brush marker pen, a mini-calendar with moon phases, and room underneath for important dates & tasks (not written in yet)

Underneath is a gouache painting of Mimikyu (ghost pokemon who looks like they're wearing a clumsy handmade Pikachu "sheet" costume) backlit by a huge full moon, wandering through some stone ruins. They've found a tiny pink flower and are holding it with a black ghostly tendril

The facing page is "one line a day", with the days of the month numbered down the page. For readability, the weekends are highlighted in brush marker stripes.Bullet journal spread for last week. Brush marker stripes separate each day of the week, with room at the bottom for Notes and Goals.

The center is a gouache painting of a bucket of apples under an apple tree in an orchard. Applin (apple-shaped pokemon who eventually becomes a dragon) looks at the bucket, curiousBullet journal spread for this week. Brush marker stripes separate each day of the week, with room at the bottom for Notes and Goals.

The center is a gouache painting of Pumpkaboo (flying ghostly pumpkin pokemon) floating above a forest clearing where someone's placed some glowing carved pumpkins.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

What boring and weaselly people don’t want you to know about living in cities is that there’s a very small chance you’ll meet someone who wishes you harm because you’re not the right race/creed/whatever, but there’s a much greater chance you’re going to meet Hussein.

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.
A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".
