A storefront window with white vinyl signage reading Harmonies Pizza & Ice Cream.
My friend Will, late of Handsome Pizza on Killingsworth, has against all odds opened a new parlor in St Johns, PDX.
He was kind enough to ask me to design a logo for the new spot and managed to get vinyl installed in time for last week's friends & family opening.

Will's a friend of mine as well! Love the logo design, great work on that. Happy to have access to his pizza again, even if the new location is quite a hike for me out in Gresham.

A person stands next to an ice axe on an icy surface. In the distance is Mt. Saint Helens erupting. The second photo shows the same person now seated with their hand on their head and the eruption is now ominously larger.

And then little dots of calamine lotion on the mosquito bites.
@billturner we were just talking about that the other day. In Wisconsin they sold that stuff in gallon jugs and my mom and grandmother applied it with a mop...
😊

I still remember the unholy sting of grandma's mercurochrome on all my cuts and scrapes.
@Xedrik OMG, yes!
Literally still dream of grandmas garden!

square phone pic: a closeup of a light blue shirt and royal blue hoodie, folded so their logos are adjacent. the light blue shirt has the cursive MLKSHK logo, and the royal blue has the MLTSHP deelux logo.
happy anniversary, you weirdos!
on this day in 2017, we went live thanks to the time and energy of so many wonderful people.
nine insane-assed years later, MLTSHP is still a source of daily joy, support, and discovery for me. i have art, music, and goodies from MLTSHPers all over my home. i’ve shared meals and adventures with many of y’all; i’ve commiserated and goofed with even more of y’all. here’s to many more.
(BTW, i happened to wear my lovely ol’ MLKSHK shirt to the farmers market this morning. tried to get a selfie in it for my celebratory post, but i was not lookin’ particularly sassy. instead you get an even older MLKSHK shirt and said beloved hoodie sans me. the hoodie and a bunch of other great stuff designed by heyitsal is still up in the webstore:

I think I still have the black on black shirt
I know I still have the black on black shirt
We should try to organize something for the 10th anniversary, maybe a global MLTUP day?
@wjcstp a great idea; i would love that!
Out of curiosity, when did MLKSHK launch?
@BennyTheIcepick i can’t remember an exact date, but i remember it being in beta late 2010 or early 2011? i think it did publicly launch in 2011
I know I discovered it at my first job, which I left in 2012, so your timeline fits with that.
@nikkineko @BennyTheIcepick I was going to say it was already a habit of mine when I started a job in 2011. I decided to check!

@pk ah, thank you for the sleuthing! to pin it down. (and for the donation link, that is important!)
i knew it was still in beta when i started posting (jan. 2011) and that other pilers had been using it for image embeds for a few months before i asked for an invite, but could not pin down better dates. i appreciate that framework!

Still awesome.
My stealth shirt is so stealthy I cannot find it in my pile of dark tshirts
Y'all rule.
Never forget: https://mltshp.com/mlkshktheme
Been lurking around since the mlkshk days and so grateful.
Thanks to all who make this work. This place has been one of my internet homes since early mlkshk.
15 years?? Wow
Plate of shrimp: I grabbed my old mlkshk stealth logo tee to wear today for the first time in at least a couple of years.
BTW, I love y'all, but we need a member drive.

@foist we've talked about membership drives in the past but it's never really solidified into anything. it would be good to get the conversation going again, see if we can capitalize on the growing demand for "unenshittified" web communities.
I also still have that black on black shirt. it's wonderful.
@foist Someone needs to build the code for a "have an account, give an account" widget. I think Al has the designs ready to go. I'd love to do that. Also let's be clear: we are fine with money. A member drive would just be to get new folks in here, share the love etc. <3 everyone.
Keep Circulating the Tapes
I always get the reminder on this day as my scoops renew
Hells yeh!
Happy MLTSHP/MLKSHK Day. Thank you for nearly ten years of happiness in this community that is so appreciated.
<3 <3 <3
I just re-scooped after I canceled my membership in a bout of cost cutting measures somewhere during last year. Mea culpa.

A red text-based public artwork by Frank Riot displayed in a JCDecaux advertising panel outside Holborn Station in London, UK. The poster reads: "When you've got rid of all the mosques but the costs of life still rise and you'e built your fortressed borders but the NHS still dies and the Muslims are all gone and your town's a wall of white but corporate vultures are still pillaging every facet of our lives who will you blame then? What will you have gained? A badge for barbarism against a backdrop of decay." Pedestrians walk past the bus shelter on a busy city street.
Oh, there will be no lack of scapegoats.

My open palm holds roughly a couple tablespoons-worth of broken glass above a garden bed full of basil plants
The second collection of bits of safety glass I’ve picked out of the dirt of our basil patch so far this spring. Hasn’t slowed down the basil’s growth!
Garden diamonds.
@ang I’d sell ‘em you you but I threw them away already.

A macro photograph of a teeny tiny basil plant that is about half the size of the index finger fingernail that’s pointing to it
I have two volunteer basil plants this year (first time ever for me!), and this is one of them. So wee! Itsy bitsy! I will protect it fiercely.
good luck!
i love fresh basil but the couple times i tried they sadly did not make it. i hope you have much better luck than i did!

@nikkuneko Thanks! Like most years we have several plants that I expect will be waist-high by mid-summer or so, but I’ve never had any volunteers, so this teeny little super guy is a fun surprise.

three expressive individuals in front of a sign that says “privy.”
We made it to the faire on the final weekend. A lot of fun but WOW is the parking situation in Irwindale fucked! It took us more than an hour and a half to get out.
No crossbows allowed.
Irwindale has always been fucked. True story.
Yay ren fair!

"Francine, where's your hat!!!??? Do you 'want' to be kicked out?"
@roonie we already had this out with Midge last year. Some of us have sensitive scalps! You just mind your beeswax. You sing too loud.
I'm very sorry. I get a bit itchy myself sometimes.
And I will try to keep the volume down but I can't make any promises.
When the spirit takes me, Lordy!

an e-ink display at a supermarket donut display, showing NaN (not a number) in large letters. in the bottom corner in smaller text, it reads "NaN per LB"
local supermarket chain likes to use these e-ink price tags, which occasionally leads to pure magic.
Priceless
NaN is the price on the contract that Satan hands you with a brimstoney flourish
Means they're free, then
Baked fresh by
So go up to the counter and ask them what the change is if you pay with your grandmother.
It just means you have to pay in "favors"
Not flat enough to be naan
That's what I was thinking, @bennytheicepick
Never wanted a flipper zero more than when I saw these at IKEA in Palo Alto
@dreyfusslugado two carmel candies and a couple of buttons from her danish cookie tin
@dreyfusslugado two carmel candies and a couple of buttons from her danish cookie tin
in california, markets must honor the price tag shown.
these e-ink price tags might be a boon for those with low funds and a flipper zero as @idogcow pointed out :)

The actor Yul Brynner, in a film called Westworld. The film deals with a fantasy resort for the ultra rich, which kind of blends into the future of AI + robots. (We don't have to capitolise robot, yet.)
I made this post to stick in this delicious quote, from a well, and archly written article.
"Only Westworld has the potential to foresee that the ultimate fantasy of the AI age could be the chance to spend the rest of our lives being told we’re really, really special by a gorgeous robot ranch hand on a billion-dollar luxury retreat for people no longer emotionally equipped to handle reality."
Mltshppers think I'm special, don't they, don't they???

I do!!
(raises his hand)
Absolutely.
I have a roommate who does her Master’s in AI and regularly says I’m very special and pretty. That is better than any LLM. (She might hallucinate too, but who cares?)

An orange construction dumpster with a URL of www.dumpsterdudez.com painted on it.
I’m not going to that URL.
Unless you need a dumpster, you probably don't need to.
@me3dia Even if I need a dumpster, I’m not.
"those dumpster bois are at it again"
also, yes, "dumpster dudez" is the film i made that one time in college when i couldn't make rent

A dark night: a grayish sky, with a bright green full moon. In the foreground is a tall, blocky tower that looks like a tenement building with no windows and only one arched door. On the side facing the viewer is a green, glowing eye. At the pinnacle of the pointed roof is a small rod with a sphere and three crossbars. Behind the tower is a row of trees, illuminated by the moon. This is a primarily indigo and green painting, signed "Chris Silverman".
