TIL that “catamaran” comes from the Tamil (a South Asian language) word “kattumaram”, meaning “logs bound together”. So cool, although I wonder why English can’t just call it a kattumaram. Like, we have all those sounds. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m just a slightly #colorblind boy, standing in front of the internet, pleading with web developers to make on/off indicators have high contrast and/or very obvious color change. It’s gonna look dumb if you can see this easily, but I can barely distinguish between these.

This was part of a cast gift from a #SteveMartin -penned stage play called Meteor Shower, that I was in. Obviously her name is Moonjoy, now. And since she’s clearly an on-the-moon ‘naut, as soon as the first woman to walk on the moon does so, she’ll be named after her too.

Lil early birfday present to myself. I never experienced, like, “dormroom-chic”, so I’m making up for it in my 40’s, I guess? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #fallout

Y’ALL. I have just made the most gorgeous & functional spreadsheet of my life, for a current project, based on Gwen Hayes’ “Romancing The Beat” story structure. Much spread. Very sheet. Big excite.

I love all the layers and occasions that this shirt works on, so much.

evan austin, author @evanaustin.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

How I think I look while working vs how I actually look. 🤣 Either way, don’t touch my music.

‘Round these parts we call it “If it hurts, make it art,” but I guess “turn your trauma into content” works too. 🤭

If this were my band’s set list, and I was only singing lead on ONE song, which would you guess?

Say hi to the three-headed, two-tailed pipe cleaner dragon my son made while I was tuning this piano.

All respect to #CharlieCox, but….why was he cast as #DareDevil at all? Like, based on WHAT? I’m truly baffled, given this interview: youtube.com/shorts/24rAi...

Sometimes I get a little down about the mess is my life. But then I realize it’s a mess of pretty awesome stuff.

My son was reading to me tonight and we came across this word, so we looked it up, and now you know it too!

Spent some time going through the script of the show I’ll be directing in the Fall, to make note of every sound effect or music need. #communitytheater

I don’t always build theater sets, but when I do THE DOORS ARE FUCKING LEVEL.

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’ ‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’ ‘Hello’ is not related to either. Goodbye.

I think humans are obsessed with our own hands (eyes, a close second) because they’re the primary sensory tool. …which makes me think that non-human societies would similarly represent themselves in their art. Something to consider when #worldbuilding

I know this high, around-the-ribs style has a name. And I know social-web-people will know it. Help!

Human-made art (or as I like to call it, art) is often a great reminder of the value of looking closely, and also from a distance.

I mean, if we’re naming it by the most common thing kept in it, shouldn’t it be a fastfoodnapkinsbox?
