Slowly, progress is being made on righting the house. The dining room has been reorganized, the vacuum run, and it feels so much better. It never ceases to amaze how much some elbow grease and a few hours of work (spread out over many days) will transform a space. I can hang art in there now! Yay!

Choose kindness. Choose love. Choose the good kind of mischief. Choose old libraries with rolling ladders. Choose wild places to wander in, and remind yourself who you used to be.

Dolly Parton was the queen of teaching us the power of kindness. Tim Curry was the king of reminding us to embrace being weird. Losing both of these legends at the same time truly feels like a huge chunk of magic has been carved out of our world.

somewhat motivated by everyone’s response to Dolly and Tim Curry passing to remark: if you were moved by them be what moves you. Be kind, generous, make weird fucking art, help people, sing bawdy songs and do drag

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

do not abandon your streamers. your time watching is more valuable to most streamers than anything else, if you don't want to give money to twitch you don't have to. look for your streamers alternative support methods. if you want them to make content, they need you there.

Strawberry economics

A four frames comics about how I can afford strawberries as a 34 year old adult. The first frame shows a bunch of gariguette strawberries in a box at the supermarket. The text reads: "STRAWBERRIES ON SALE". In the second frame I am holding the box of strawberries happily, saying "And I have enough money left to afford them!". In the third frame I am eating them and saying "Mmm a scrumptious treat...". In the fourth frame I am closing my eyes and thinking "The economy is very bad".

May 20 is World Bee Day. 🧪🐡🐝 There are ~20,000 different bee species in the world. Here in Ontario we have at least 400 native bees (none of which are the honeybees, which are from Europe).
