spotted a wild turkey literally around the corner from my reasonably urban house *and* saw the lovely sparkly blue car with a VWORP license plate, feeling hashtag-blessed today

yes, I know I cannot go buy everything in Lush's new Moomin collection, not even the adorably sneaky-looking Little My soap for my spouse, but what if I did anyway https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/c/lush-x-moomin
sometimes the local meat CSA gives you a small brisket and you are practically FORCED to make this with lightly pickled green beans and rice https://meimeidumplings.com/blog/2019/04/17/double-awesome-chinese-food-cookbook-sesame-ssam-jang-brisket-lettuce-wraps

Really enjoyed our first trip to the Peabody Essex Museum, and one piece I especially loved was Diné artist Ryan Singer’s vision of Cthulhu vs. Columbus
@haineux@mastodon.social heading home after consuming our weight in the outrageous local blackberry flavor. Wish you were here ❤️
it has been pouring out and now things are cool and breezy and i can switch into full pj pants instead of shorts and maybe even want to put on my slippers? g o d, please bring on fall, this is the most wonderful taste of it right now
me, a seasoned professional consultant who definitely did not forget to include my proposal attachment for this new amazing lead that just fell into my lap 🙃
(it's okay, the prospect is very chill, I'm just a little ARGH)

@courtney I finally gave up on self-hosted email maybe a year and a half ago in favor of Fastmail and have no regrets. I made the change for exactly the same reasons you did: it was just too annoying to keep on top of all the configs, and now it's someone else's problem. Totally worth the money.
"I'm a 47-year-old man. Nothing is more exciting to me than going to bed at a reasonable hour." Kumail Nanjiani and I understand each other. #Taskmaster
A Teaspoon And An Open Mind (whofic.com) temporarily unavailable while our hosting provider deals with urgent security upgrades for us and many other servers they host. The site is up, but stories are not visible. (They're still there! Just temporarily inaccessible.)
More updates as we have them.
received an email reply this morning that included an LLM-generated summary of my original text, now turned into something more formal, less detailed, and missing my original bullet-point formatting for clarity – well done, slopmakers, that's definitely an improvement 🖕
We're back! And I will be having a chat with our hosting provider about rolling/compressing *their* log files more often, since the issue here was outside of my control 😑

@courtney@pdx.social Will trade you some beef/feta kofte with garlic-yogurt sauce for a taco. Why does the food transporter not exist???
