Just your normal person who enjoys a good read about normal person interests such as trains, Soviet Politburo politics, and birds. Seattle native hanging out in Philadelphia. I do coding stuff for @mcsweeneys.net sometimes.

First image: no filter Second image: Hoya Alpha filter

Pretty sharp image of some colored plastic

Same image of the colored plastic (more-or-less) but decidedly less sharp with a lot more ghosting

You may not like it but this is the ultimate calculator pairing

A picture of a beautiful TI-83+ Silver Edition and a TI-86 graphing calculators. They are both perfect and have no flaws.

Which house you sorting into. These options encompass the entirety of human personalities. Space Medieval Wizards Ahoy

It’s a lodge at a summer camp. There are four posters that say space (with an astronaut cat and UFO), medieval (with some cartoon cats sitting in thrones), wizards (which honestly is just some squiggles. These kids weren’t very artistic), and ahoy (which is a diving cat and underwater creatures).

There is also a terrifying figure in between the posters.

I’ve only recently come to grips with how much reading The Far Side books growing up influenced my sense of humor.

A cool-ass Far Side book cover of a dinosaur. No cows present.

When the dining room of a pizza place looks like this you know the food is gonna be legit

A basic booth-style dining room. It’s dimly lit and the walls are covered in graffiti. Most of the graffiti is proclaiming great the Philadelphia Eagles are. Go birds.

We went to Morris Arboretum today and it was super fun! Lots of neat plants and the layout was superb.

A lush greenhouse full of green ferns. It looks humid af

View of what's perhaps a willow tree that has a nest on it. It's very green and droopy. Kinda like how I feel in the humidity

Sculpture made out of wood that depicts a neurotic-looking squirrel. The squirrel has huge eyes and is holding a pinecone made up of branches.

A platform that has nets around trees. You're surrounded by trees and can pretend you're a squirrel by walking and rolling around these nets.

TIL there was a train named “Jawn Henry.” And it was massive.

Picture of a book with a bunch of train facts regarding steam turbine engines. The largest one was named Jawn Henry

Gotta figure out how to get an adult-sized shirt like the green striped one I’m wearing.

Family photo of a male child maybe three or four years old, and a younger female child. The older kid is wearing a sick-ass 80s shirt that is pastel green with rad as bell horizontal stripes.

Sometimes you find a real kickass used book like DESIGN OF SMALL DAMS and it's what you've honestly been looking for your entire life.

A rather large-ish book that has a blue cover. It is by the United States Department of the Interior (Bureau of Reclamation) and is titled DESIGN OF SMALL DAMS. All of the writing on the cover is gold and with a very sexy sans-serifed font. The background is a bunch of books. It is perhaps a bookstore.

Just some benign rapid transit moods. Nothing to see here.

Just an underground SEPTA station of the MFL. There’s a train in the opposite direction but not for us.

In this house, we don't cross virtual picket lines—even by accident.

We've received many mailers here in Philly. The best interaction was a mailer from our local ward. We're new to the area (so low-information first-time voters) and this mailer has useful things: * sample ballot * how to vote * bespoke written blurbs about all of the candidates they're endorsing

Mailer that contains democratic sample ballot and voting instructions

Instructions about how to mail-in your ballot, where your polling location is, and the endorsed candidates

Nice lil surprise when visiting IKEA

Decaying hulk of the SS United States with its unusually large funnels. The ship could go unusually fast but will now probably be a reef in Florida. As it goes.
