I feel terrible for everyone in Erie today. My heart is with y'all through yet another senseless shooting. ❤️ Support each other, we're all we got. #erie #eriepa

It's autumn, which means it's finally time to get comfy.

A photo of me, wearing glasses, a headband, and a black Kiffiyeh. I am sitting on a porch and smiling. The image is dithered and colored like a Gameboy screen (green, 4 colors total).

I've received more notice of data breaches this year than any year prior. This includes more sensitive data than ever too. From organizations that I've never heard of, because I didn't know that my data was being shared with these organizations. We are boiled frogs. Cyber Security is a joke […]

i feel a rising urge to work on my forum today 🤔 i think i settled on how to handle notifications... I think I'll make a Matrix bot. That way, you make a chat account on the same server, and you can receive them there. that is a newer Synapse server stack, so it should be able to support […]

A wise man once asked me, "what effect do you wish to leave upon the world?" The acoustics in his dojo were terrible, so I just nodded and awkwardly said "haha, yeah."

Everything begins and ends with food, and nothing good happens WITHOUT food. To put it in Abrahamic terms, it's time to hammer our swords into plowshares.

Your etymology for today is that the word "tabby" comes from the Arabic root loanword, "'attabi", from "'Attabiyyah", a neighborhood in Baghdad where taffeta fabric was first invented.

Aht seeing Guster at Longwood Gardens. Beautiful venue, very small. Confusingly ik one of the youngest people here. The old ladies seated behind me are debating which is a better snack, pepperminds or wintermints. #philly #philadelphia

An expansive outdoor scene of a large event setup. Rows of simple chairs are arranged on a grassy lawn, facing a central stage covered by a white canopy or tent. The area is heavily framed by tall, lush green trees. The photo is taken from the front, showing the arrangement of seating, the natural setting, and the soft light of the late afternoon or evening.

as you can see, we're up to some diabolical shit here at the lab today. #music

A screenshot of Plexamp, on its 'Sonic Adventure' feature. It allows you to select two tracks that are very different, and it will use its Music Genome Project / Picard API controls to make a playlist from your music that "thematically" guides you from A to B.

I have started with Neil Cicierega's song "Just a Baby", and ended with "Not My Baby" by Alvvays.

i added some reliable external relay services to my server, as well as set up a fresh FediFetcher instance, so hopefully that should resolve my issues with not seeing some of ya'lls replies. DM me if i seem to be ignoring you, it's probably not on purpose!

i found this old t-shirt design i proposed. it's pretty cool. i wish this one had gotten made. #design #graphicdesign #art #creative #tshirt

A graphic t-shirt design featuring a stylized, retro-inspired computer browser window set against a dark navy blue background with a dense, horizontal linear halftone pattern. The browser window has rounded corners and a thick bright green border, complete with three small circles in the top-left corner representing minimalist "traffic light" controls. Inside the window, the text "CLICK ALL DAY" is displayed in a bold, heavy sans-serif typeface. The words are arranged vertically: "CLICK" and "ALL" on the left side stacked atop each other, and "DAY" running vertically down the right side. The entire graphic uses a vibrant neon green color palette with subtle gradients, giving it a high-contrast, synthwave or vaporwave aesthetic that blends tech culture with street style.
