I couldn’t even muster 50%.

The magic you’re looking for is in the work you’re avoiding.

– Chris Williamson

Um, yeah, fuck no.

The magic I’m looking for is avoiding my work.

New Holiday Unlocked.

Soup Day.

Can’t wait.

Not a bad day to do some yard work.

Now I think it’s time for a nap.

TIL - they make crop hoodies.

I do not understand this piece of clothing.

Well, isn’t this just a fantastic photo by Alexander Wieck

Stunning.

These are the cries of the carrots.

Remember when we were going to ban TikTok because of China spying?

Henry Rollins on the song Bottom by Tool

If I let you, you would make me destroy myself
In order to survive you, I must first survive myself
I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you

There’s no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you
I’ve gone to great length to expand my threshold of pain
I will use my mistakes against you, there’s no other choice
I’m shameless now, I’m nameless now, I’m nothing now, I’m no one now
But my soul must be iron ‘cause my fear is naked
I’m naked and fearless and my fear is naked

My favorite calendar of the year is back on Kickstarter for their 2024 version.

Minimalist Wall Calendar

Love the idea of seeing the entire year all at once.

Back the project here

Today in headlines that annoy me

U.S. Officials Fear American Guns Ordered by Israel Could Fuel West Bank Violence

You fear violence in Israel because of guns, but you don’t do anything about the violence in America caused by guns.

Got it. Makes sense. Total sense.

Tell me the mobile web ate the internet without telling me the mobile web ate the internet.

I love it when we get zero trick or treaters. The power of turning off the porch light is strong in this house.

Came across this wonderful painting by Dawid Figielek

Sometimes less is more.

Listening to some past favorites tonight.

Linkin Park was fantastic. I have hit 👍 on every single song on Hybrid Theory.

The irony of hiding the dark side of our humanness is that our secret is not really a secret at all. How can it be when we’re all safeguarding the very same story? That’s why Rumi calls it an Open Secret. It’s almost a joke - a laughable admission that each one of us has a shadow self - a bumbling, bad-tempered twin. Big surprise! Just like you, I can be a jerk sometimes. I do unkind, cowardly things, harbor unmerciful thoughts, and mope around when I should be doing something constructive. Just like you, I wonder if life has meaning; I worry and fret over things I can’t control; and I often feel overcome with a longing for something that I cannot even name. For all of my strengths and gifts, I am also a vulnerable and insecure person, in need of connection and reassurance. This is the secret I try to keep from you, and you from me, and in doing so, we do each other a grave disservice.

From Peter Elson: Great example of excellent 70’s Scifi art.
