Not sending a slack message to a coworker because you can’t find the appropriate gif to accompany

My brain feels like how flickering flourescent or LED lights look 😔

“Therefore, I will not consider other USB-C charger CPUs as candidates for taking me to the moon.” is not a sentence I expected to read this evening

#Wired news notifications continue to read better if you ignore the comma in between the two stories

It’s been a while since I listened to #Squarepusher, but I’d like to nominate #BeUpAHello as “The best album of the last decade for people who listen to podcasts at 3.5x speed”

[Note: This post is calling myself out. I sincerely and unironically am enjoying this album immensely]

I just won a round of #ButterRoyale without picking up a weapon or eliminating anyone…

(Technically the last person was running away from my melee attacks and ran into the storm, which did the final damage)

Played a lot of #ButterRoyale today (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/butter-royale/id1464623715)

The fediverse has rubbed off on me in unexpected ways: the 🍍 footprint-trail cosmetic was the first thing I unlocked

I appreciate the effort given by the localization team for #NeoCab. Reading this reminded me that I really want to get back into playing it.

I’ve been running low on #podcasts recently and was thinking of getting back into #audiobooks. I unsubscribed from Audible a few months back (to help avoid giving money to Amazon) and was thinking of maybe signing up for Kobo’s audiobook service (though dreading the number of trackers that might include)

While walking around my #LocalBookstore, I saw signage up for https://libro.fm

DRM free, a portion of proceeds goes to local book shops, and a full catalogue… I’ll report back in a few

New year, self hosting. Thanks to @yunohost I’ve started hosting my own #mastodon instance on https://pug.social and #pixelfed instance on https://pug.photos (& plans for an upcoming #WriteFreely instance as well).

Hopefully I can keep the momentum going and resurrect what I miss about the #indieweb
