Fun Fact: the Duress Face that you can use to wipe your netslab when the cops force you to face-unlock it, used to be called “Duck Face”. Some historians think this is a reference to the slogan “Duck the Police”, others think it refers to an extinct pre-collapse waterfowl.

I hope this email finds you under a balcony and kisses you in the shadows until there's nothing left of you but sparkling fairy dust, and in your weakened state, you ask if she wants to hang out next weekend, and her face clouds and she goes, “Ohhh."

I made a new Mastodon bot, called "I Hope This Email Finds You.” Twice a day it proposes a novel way to conclude that sentence that opens so many emails. (It uses phrases from Google Books that include the phrase “finds you.”) I've been having fun reading these, so I turned it into a bot because you, too, might have fun reading them. https://botsin.space/@thisemailfindsyou/112295528875440987

Any of y'all been involved in running a #repairCafe? I'd love to hear some tips & tricks, pointers, fun stories.

new hobby: adding action lines to my cat pictures

A lovely blog post from Mike Cook about the design wrinkles of making a Downpour game. Mainly the thing about making a non-linear document of a personal, and necessarily linear, experience.

This month’s stitch patterns designed from a word suggested on my Patreon are based on the word Cedar (for the birders out there, I’m told it was inspired by Cedar Waxwings).
