We adopted Blixa 3 year ago and she's a loving, stubborn, and absolutley wonderful companion.

Photograph of a dog sitting on a tile floor, its front paws neatly tucked under its chest, but back paws splayed out on the floor. It is looking up at its human expectantly. Walkies? Food?

shiny black sticker that says in all caps, "why would I ask ChatGPT when I could ask my local queer ADHD autistic bike mechanic"
Seriously, any bike mechanic will have better answers than an algorithm.
if they are queer and neurospicy, the answers will be even better!

vintage photograph of a couple wearing matching purple and yellow floral short-sleeved shirts and very short shorts, with scrunched up socks and brown leather shoes. They are standing in front of a lavender and green house, with a flower garden behind them and a small rose bush to their right. They're smiling at the camera, and the woman seems more pleased than the man.
The Problem We All Live With
alt text
Norman Rockwell's oil painting "The Problem We All Live With", showing a young Black girl carrying her books and a yellow ruler, wearing a white dress and sneakers, walking on a sidewalk past a wall covered by a large racial slur and the remnants of a hurled tomato. In front of and behind her are four white men in gray and tan suits and yellow "Deputy US Marshall" armbands escorting her; the composition is such that they are visible only from the chest down. Rockwell's signature is at the bottom center of the painting.

Yesterday was Ruby Bridges' 72nd birthday; she's still alive and living in Louisiana and still working for civil rights. The past isn't dead; it isn't even past.

I was so lucky to have been able to see this painting last month, it is currently on loan to the lucas museum in los angeles.
powerful painting of a powerful girl who became an amazing woman.

It's worth noting, on the same point, that Barbara Henry, the Bostonian teacher at William Frantz Elementary School who was the only teacher willing to have Bridges in her classroom (having had experience teaching integrated classrooms to children in the military), is also still alive at 94. She spent every morning of the 1960-1961 teaching Bridges and Bridges alone, because every white child transferred classes. Here's a photo of them in 2014: https://i.guim.co.uk/img...

An interesting monster needs an *interesting* hairdo.
"Oh no, a giant monster!"
My I'll bet you monsters lead interesting lives. I said to my girlfriend just the other day ... gee ... I'll bet monsters are interesting, I said. The places you must go and the things you must see.

A boylan’s shirley temple in a bottle
We had what appeared to be a tripped breaker earlier today, and now I’m a thousand dollars poorer and my house is entirely torn apart and I’m supposed to leave town for two weeks at 5:30 am and I haven’t packed AND this Shirley is not nearly dirty enough.
getting phở-cked up in San Jose

I needed to go to San Jose for work. I just finished a12 hour day with a UAT kickoff with two separate presentations to cover time zones. Several marathon meetings on New with requirement gathering, and fixing a bunch of issues the users reported already.
I'm about to feast at Pho Bel Air.

In front of pho in San Jose is a happy place to be.
Decent pho is one of the dishes I miss most about not living on the West coast.
@m3moellering the are “phở islands” in the oddest places sometimes, though. When I was living in Madison Heights (Michigan) there were three decent places serving it within walking distance of my apartment.

Nigerian food in Columbus
alt text
A plate of delicious jollof rice, fried plantains, and riast goat
We live in the northeast part of Columbus, which is where a lot of immigrants set up shop. Found this place on Cleveland Ave, Pat's Delicious African Restaurant. It is real-deal Nigerian food. It felt like going to someone's Nigerian mom's house for dinner. Give it a try if you are in town!
I'll put that one on our list!
I'm constantly impressed by the variety of amazing food we have around Columbus, especially in that part of the city. Last year my wife came up with an "eat through the alphabet" idea where we pick a restaurant or cuisine style starting with a different letter of the alphabet every week. We found some great places, and it was no problem finding something for each letter. One of the favorites was Brazilian Grill & Bakery, also on Cleveland Ave.

She is brave and tries to keep up with her older brother.
I love them both dearly and want to keep them safe. I also know that you have to let them experiment, have fun and graze an occassional knee.

@urlnotfound 100%. I like that phrasing.
@bencmeissner It was on a poster than hung in my classroom when I was in the fourth grade (age 9-10). It is a quote from some person of note.

Panoramic photo of a crowd gathered on a dusty desert beneath a stormy sky before a massive stage set made of two immense wooden sculptures representing the SS Titanic ripped in half by an iceberg.
An orchestra of 30 or 40 musicians sits on risers in the left half of the sculpture, and a few dozen choir singers in white clothing stand on the right half.
The white-bearded photographer of the image is seen at far right in an aluminum firefighter’s helmet and red kerchief.

It was the best of the burns, it was the worst of burns.
Gorgeous times and a lot of hard work (building the observation tower for Hobo Camp, six 6hr shifts on Gate/Perimeter/Exodus) and a suicidal shortage of sleep wrapped around a gooey core of deep conversations with old friends (👊@zeitgeist) and new acquaintances - and three straight days of utterly shit weather.
Bonus: I got to join the Playa Choir (https://playachoir.com - right, and me at far right) and the Black Rock Philharmonic (https:/blackrockphilharmonic.org - left) to perform “Dies Irae” from Verdi’s Requiem atop the tippy-top of the vertiginous risers out at “Titanic’s End” for an audience of easily 1,200 people in a stiff dust storm.
I thought it was pretty epic … until El Pulpo Magnifico (center) rolled up to play propane percussion, somebody started triggering the two gut-punchingly colossal flame poofers in the Titanic’s funnels, and the whole scene went straight off the hook and into fking orbit.
Re-entry right now 5 days later in a dusty, trash-filled car heading north towards Seattle past the asphalt stench of road crews repaving I-5 is kinda … awful by comparison.
I still can’t entirely believe I got to do that.

Me wearing a sweatshirt that says "Read books. Drink coffee. Fight evil."
I'm down at my sister's place for my birthday, being an extra set of hands while she recovers from surgery (she's doing well! it's a weird bone thing not a "get the cancer out" thing) and we did a very low key birthday hang here. Jim got me this sweatshirt and I really like it.
Congratulations!
But also, what’s the story with the weird wooden device clearly meant to torture cats behind you?
