My amazing wife is livecoding again tomorrow night at The Middle East (Zuzu's) in Cambridge, Massachusetts
sorry but
SHE IS SO GOOD, GO SEE HER
I am so grateful that I saw Dolly perform once. She was absolutely incredible. One of the most amazing concerts I have ever been to. I think she changed into at least 2 different bejeweled crystal-spangled outfits during the show, played many instruments, and had more energy on stage than I have ever had in a single day of my life. Her voice was ethereal. What an icon. 80 was too young. 💔
the amount that 2026 absofuckinglutely sucks has officially eclipsed 2025
Dolly

If I get one more email from an industry leader advising people to use AI to write proposals and content, I will throw my laptop into the woods
Actually, I will just throw my laptop into the woods now, might as well
One thing I feel certain about is that I don't want "content with a hand-crafted feel"
So I am supposed to cook my lettuce to 158 F degrees
Under an orange-disc sun
Seems fine
I didn't know about the lake renaming until it came up on a work call and this is how I am getting through This Time
so sad today
Please dear universe, let this be the day

Is this maybe something I can do in late-stage capitalism that doesn’t make me feel horrible?
If we can get funding
Unfortunately I was on LinkedIn today
and discovered that some of my oldest colleagues in nonprofit tech think David Brooks is not only a valid intellectual, but is also incredibly smart
I have been here for half a century and this is by far the shittiest America I could have imagined
why no, we will not support your transphobic conversion-therapy-adjacent WordPress site, no matter how much you attempt to obscure that content

I recently named myself the world’s authority on enby labor ama
Cooking? No

Every morning that I wake to find that the current iteration of the internet is still fully functional, I feel disappointment
It’s like someone put a trap door in my spoon drawer and it’s now impossible to refill it
Today in dystopian hellscape air travel, I had to walk into security in side-by-side formation with a stranger while a cop and a dog walked back and forth around us???
The number of verified profiles on LinkedIn amazes me, all those people used Clear to get a verification badge!
Also, it's entirely okay if you aren't comfortable being visibly trans or nonbinary right now. It's completely understandable.
Sending love to the trans and nonbinary folks out there, whether you're out, or not, or somewhere in between.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility! It sucks so much to be trans and/or nonbinary in This Time! If you are looking for a trans woman to whom to gift a pizza in honor of the great Mira Bellwether, then I suggest my wife @cass@muffin.industries because she is hella trans & does so much for others & she fucking loves pizza. (I'm an enby but I promise I won't eat any of it, it can all be for her.)

Tonight, Cambridge, MA! Go see @cass@muffin.industries livecode at The Middle East / Zuzu's!
