Some people get ideas in the shower. I get ideas when I try to fall asleep, and then I can’t fall asleep because of the great idea I just had.

Packing for a whole house renovation reveals all the stuff you don’t need. You ask yourself, is it worth packing this, storing it for a month, and unpacking it later? The answer is very often no!
I have a lot of questions about the local businesses I encountered in traffic today.
So far, cleaning the garage has netted about $50 in random patio chair sales via FB. Plus, I found about $100 worth of unopened, retired Star Wars LEGO sets. Coming to an EBay near you!
I’m binging QueerEye today. I would LOVE a stylist to help me build a look. Is Tan available on loan?
If you’re into #StarWars and haven’t seen #Rebels, I suggest now is a very good time to start! #Ahsoka is coming with the Ghost Crew! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnzNZ0Mdx4I
Instagram sure does want me to buy a rug I can put in the washing machine.
It’s time to hop Mastodon instances again. I’ve loved my time at beige.party and @theropologist@beige.party is one hell of an admin. But, it’s time I chart a new course.
The droids behind the scenes will start transferring my account shortly, so I’ll see you on the other end of hyperspace.
And, if everything fails miserably, I’ll add my instance to the scrap heep and return to the beigest party this side of the galaxy.
Bright Suns, fellow travelers.
$1,000 can make an incredible difference in anyone's life. For the vast majority of nonprofit organizations raising less than $50k annually, $1,000 can enhance programming, expand services, or provide vital administrative support. Today, BryteBridge Nonprofit Solutions gave $1,000 cash or services microgrants to nine nonprofits nationwide. It was so much fun, I wore my party hat all day! Support your favorite nonprofit organizations. They are always worth your investment. #nonprofit #development #grantmaking
I swapped out a ceiling fan this evening. The great home renovation of 2023 has officially begun.
I had the hiccups for hours today. How are you doing?
Today is April 4, also known as exactly nine months after July 4. Look at all those birthdays you celebrated today and know their parents had fireworks sex.
Nurse: “And what is the reason for this appointment?”
Me: “I honestly have no idea.”
Is there a home improvement arm of the #Fediverse? Does anyone have any experience with “luxury vinyl plank” in hot and humid environments?
Can we talk about calls to action (CTAs) — those “subscribe to my newsletter” or “buy me a coffee” links at the end of articles?
What do you think about them? Do you click on people’s CTAs? Do you ignore them? Do you think they’re obnoxious, cheesy, or helpful?
I’m really curious about the perspectives of both writers and readers. Please let me know. Responses will help shape a future article and (possibly) the future policies of @writingcooperative@me.dm.
