Whoops, forgot this platform existed for a few days. Here, have a tasteful nude as consolation.

To my NYC loves: I'm coming your way in just a few weeks! I'll be in town May 3-6. Drop me a line now to get on my dance card! For reference, this is how cute my butt looked last time I was there.

I have now taught my stepmom the term "competence porn" ... doing the lord's work corrupting the boomer ladies

Someone just told me that my tiny lisp (thanks, dental crowns 😑) is cute, and it changed my perspective for the better ... I guess it is on-brand! 🤓 Pairs well with glasses.

Yes, and I get to be *inside* both of them 🥵

"Sinners Pizza," which has charmingly over-the-top Satanic branding, just opened across from a Christian coffee shop, and they've been bringing each other pizza and coffee across the street all day, it's cute af So I guess I ship them now? (The businesses, not the people ... very Chuck Tingle)

"Oh shoot, I'm covered in lint." "Lint from the kangaroos?" "No, lint from the blanket I hid under when I found out that Hank Green is bisexual." "Bisexual blanket lint." "I think all lint is pansexual." - A conversation I just had that contained mostly never-before-uttered sentences

(In fairness, I do need my PhD, and most of what I learned from it, for my day job, and I no longer regret going to grad school ... but I do look back and marvel at how bad my mental health was, despite my insistence at the time that I was fine)

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

I think I need to regularly clarify that the "doctor" thing is not some kind of medfet bit, it's an attempt to signal that I have a PhD for those who are into nerds (and I might as well get SOME use out of having spent my 20s in a dark tunnel assailed by self-recrimination and doubt)

Last year, I started my April newsletter with an announcement that I was retiring to become a bhikkhunī (Buddhist nun), followed by "lol just kidding." The number of email responses I received saying "you scared the crap out of me" was extremely gratifying.

Best excerpt from today's Signal messages so far

A screenshot of a text message that reads, "Although that's not the first time I made stupid sexual decisions as a result of learning that someone was a math nerd so maybe it's not drug-induced"

The AI Doc is exceptionally well done. It could've erred in so many ways, and it mostly managed to navigate the Scylla and Charybdis of the subject matter while being both accessible and beautiful. And it's (further) evidence that the humanities have the potential make a tangible difference.

So optimistic of you to assume there will be "future" film makers 😓

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Yes/no, as in, "Does the esteemed reader agree with my assessment?" I recognize that I am writing like a kid on Tumblr and I am not especially sorry

Which were some of the most challenging foods to source, and how did you manage to find them?

I'm sorry that your pet is the second-cutest, but sometimes that's just the way the cat treat crumbles

"Having all of my sexual buttons pushed at once by a quantitative methodology podcast episode about fungible parameter estimates" was not on my bingo card for today, but here we are

This library is so empty ... I think it may be possible this week to fulfill my lifelong dream of having sex in the stacks without getting arrested Anyway my schedule's pretty open this week so

I thought it was spring, but when I left the house this morning it was 35 degrees, so I'll just have to dream of reading outdoors for a few more weeks

This might be my favorite sticker I've ever seen in Seattle

A photograph of an orange-and-white striped traffic barrier with a sticker of an alligator (or is it a crocodile?) with its chin in its "hands" like a 14-year-old girl at a sleepover saying, Tell me MOOOOORE."

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

What is up with LLMs' apparent compulsion to declare things "real" "XYZ is doing real work here" "The concern you raise is real" Nobody writes like that (I hope), so it's not in the corpus and must somehow have gotten trained in by RLHF???

Me, going about my business: I am the very paragon of normality, the standard against which normal behavior should be evaluated, so sensible and sophisticated Me, accidentally hearing an audio recording of myself speaking: Now THAT is an autistic person

The food was attractive AND delicious--that shaggy thing that looks like the dragon from The Neverending Story is a pile of mushrooms with white kimchi, truffle cream, and parmesan--and my date said that my outfit made him think I could be an anime villain, so I'd say the evening was a success.

Proud to have taught my mom the terms "thirst trap" and "down bad" within the past 24h

When I was in college, I just bought OTC asthma meds + caffeine pills at the pharmacy, and yeah, it was a decent time

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Wow, same! I'm not a prodom(me) and I've never seen one myself, so I think I always pictured medfet as torture, but it just occurred to me recently that it could be an act of care (and maybe a liiiiitlle torture)

Sometimes you just need a break to admire your own abs.

I feel slightly uncomfortable to admit that I enjoy medical procedures (and medspa visits) for this very reason, and it's a relief to hear I'm not alone

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Coincidentally, was just discussing the fact that you are fucking hot yesterday afternoon (with a gent who is traveling to SF in a few weeks)

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

I enjoy doing your laundry. Knowing you've made full use of my space, remembering our meeting as I take your towel out of the dryer the next day .... I don't aspire to be a trad-anything, but there's something so sweet and intimate about domestic acts.

Aw, neat! What function(s) is the salve intended to serve?

Goodbye to the vast glittering plain that is Phoenix! Follow my newsletter (robinalbedo.substack.com) to find out where I'll be next. (This month's edition will be a bit delayed.)

Oh man, I've lived in Seattle for six years and haven't reached that echelon. Best I've done is taking my polycule and parents to a play about Mormon lesbians, or maybe wearing flannel to a Kraken game

Why yes, I am bisexual. I am aroused by both (1) "period-typical homophobia" warning tags on fanfiction and (2) that moment in Frozen when you find out Hans is the bad guy

Introduce yourself as 5 concerts you’ve been to: They Might Be Giants Dragonforce Simon & Garfunkel Open Mike Eagle Nine Inch Nails 😈 ... yeah, that's pretty much my personality

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Interesting! When someone mentions that he's white in an inquiry, my interpretation is that he's implying *I* care about his race for some reason (e.g., that I'm racist). Which is ... not exactly endearing, either.

Dr. Robin Albedo | SEA+PDX+FMTY @robinalbedo.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Hello there, Phoenix. Are you ready to indulge? I'm settled in and still have a few openings in my dance card now through Tuesday afternoon.

These may not be the sexiest photos of me ever, but I think "sentimentality about humanity" and "hey guys, there's an ermine!" provide key information about my personality

In the foreground, Robin gazes at a granite slab labeled "History of Humanity" and engraved with a John Donne poem on its shortest face and with historical information on its longer sides. In the background stands a small chapel with blue doors on a mound of reddish earth, against a blue sky.

Robin points at another granite plaque engraved with images of small mammals, including a stoat and an ermine.
