me at 23: no amount of hedonic stimulus can satiate my desire for sensation and experience me at 34: hot damn, what's the spice blend they used on these peach slices?

just thought the phrase "really beautiful overnight oats." being in your mid-30s kicks ass

for every notch on the less-than-business-casual scale you go, you balance it with an extra layer of technical expertise and/or actually delivering. and you keep a pair of normal dress shoes in reserve for when you have a Big Presentation, fancy work dinner, etc.

I wore ACGs almost exclusively while I was consulting, you can absolutely pull this off. you think only venture capitalists are wooed by the smart-person-dressing-down schtick?

if you don't like lighthearted support of subsidized grocery stores, my friend, I am probably not someone you want to continue interacting with

supplies can be depleted; you can be replete with almost anything. seldom is something in a balanced state of plete

but there's no foolproof way to find people whose work you admire who also Get You, so it's not especially helpful advice. try being transgender? that worked for me

to echo @garthgreenwell.bsky.social's sentiments here: while I've found some writing workshops incredibly helpful, nothing has come close to finding other writers who understand my ~project~ with whom I can talk about my work (& vice-versa)

I think you gotta assess your relationship with a given mountain as you would with a stranger's large, terrifying dog. maybe it takes a shine to you. maybe it decides you've seen your last sunrise. critical to read the room

not entirely sure why everyone is talking about mountains the same week I finished Into Thin Air, a book that encourages you to treat mountains with the same wariness you would a toddler holding a handgun

it's got the heart of an El Camino wrapped in the aesthetic of a PT Cruiser, and all the rugged practicality demanded by a lesbian couple in the Upper Peninsula. what more could you ask for

a Hilux is fine for arid environments, but when you're fighting a winter campaign in the north you're gonna want something with a low center of gravity and tire chains

now if I *had* to own a car, would I want to get a used Subaru Baja? we'll never find out, because I live in a city with functioning public transit

Calvin Kasulke @kasulke.co · 05/08/2026

I reject the appellation "subaru socialist". rude of you to suggest I own a car

am I wrong in thinking that the compound bows were as unique to the Huns as their skills using them on horseback were? small, cheap drones are available to everyone, but you can argue that countering a years-long invasion is as close as you're gonna get to "trained to do this from birth"

I am walking to your home. we are either taking you to urgent care or jail

embarrassed to have participated in a PEN America event mere weeks before they pulled this shit

Calvin Kasulke @kasulke.co · 16/07/2026

they keep presenting this as a problem and not "fewer rats, less trash on the street, AND fewer cars" like my friend this is all upside

no reason to ever try and type my last name into anything, that way lies madness (or an egg factory in Brazil. no relation)
