The #sunlamp is an amazing thing, though I do reserve the right to be annoyed that my body seems to need it to be functional.

Hello #HackerOne. We are deeply disappointed that you have started to require ID verification from hackers who want to submit vulnerability reports to #curl, as this now makes them turn away and we miss out on their reports. We have not been a bug bounty program since February and we do not […]

Take away thus far from the seasonal vaccines... 12 hours in. Walgreen's uses bandaids that stick really well, and I didn't realize I had that much hair on my upper arm until I removed it with the bandaid. Also, no shock, the location of the two shots is warm and sore. #vaccine #flushot #covid

my mind keeps reaching for comparisons of the news cycle to grim dark dystopian fictions like 1984, Alien, Blade Runner and Brazil... really, I need mode hopeful solarpunk in my fiction like Psalm for the wild built or absurd fantasy like Orconomics

At the end of the day it feels more and more like the alleged age of slop is just attempts by the rich to devalue labor to chase profit. One could say union busting is the goal, but not all people have those protections, so its more pervasive. I can no longer imagine what the collapse is going […]

The banger that is "Potatoes and Molasses" persists as an ear worm this morning, popping into my brain shortly after waking up. Apparently made by the musicians of "The Blasting Company," who later released an album of the songs from the animation "Over the Garden Wall" #overthegardenwall
