Every time my partner goes away my neighbors see me and are like “are you eating? Are you ok??” And then when I go out of town they see my partner and are like “YASSS GIRL”

Sleep tight, Red Sox Nation.
The Red Sox Bowser figurine sits on an equipment trunk in the Red Sox clubhouse at Yankee Stadium. It is wearing a Red Sox Postseason clinch t-shirt along with several other Red Sox jerseys.

we're working on the v2 of our standard.site link cards. these cards currently link to both the article (top part) and publication (bottom part). they show a "Subscribe" button when possible, otherwise a "View Publication" button. what changes would you all like to see in the next version?

nothing makes me crash out almost instantly like a crowded grocery store. trying to make it out of there in a fugue state dodging 90 year olds and families of 17. seeing random shit like this that boris yeltsin would’ve loved. takes years off my life

Spent several hours cutting, planing, and steaming this stupidly angled canoe rib. Clamped it on. Started tacking it in. Then it snapped. A metaphor for most things in my life really.

Last week, the Bluesky app shipped a content visibility declaration setting to let people opt out of having their posts appear in feeds like Discover. How your app might use that setting is all about intent and reach. bsky.network/blog/content...

i would like to formally apologize for the high crime of building things that aren’t meant for everyone i really should have considered that trying to cater to the whims, preferences, and personal obsessions of everyone at once was a much smarter and sustainable path i will try to do better!

10 years of app development
i'm nearing the 10 year mark of when i started my career in app development. maybe you've used some apps i've worked on before! or maybe not. i've had the privilege to work on almost every type of app possible: i feel its cliche to say i've learned so much along the way because, like most things in tech, the industry standards and patterns have changed so much. every single app is completely different and only a small set of learnings i've picked up actually end up carrying through to other apps...

A meme that has been sitting on my phone since 2022 apparently. Das Kapital and 9 to 5 represented by torches. 9 to 5 glowing significantly brighter and with far less pointless heft than DK.

My mom: make sure you cover your finger in the shower so the glue stays on Me: no it’s fine, the doctor said I can shower without a bandage. So anyways for an unrelated reason I need more glue now. Curious
