The fight scene at the end of the odyssey felt like a setup for a pretty excellent Jackie Chan comedic kung fu bit and then didn’t deliver on it. I’m devastated.

One of my hardest-won political lessons is that it’s never, ever worth it to treat ppl as ~indispensable no matter what they do~ —bc we *see* the contributions & potential of the abusive men & we don’t get to see that in the women they drive out. We never actually get to know what we’ve squandered
this dynamic described by jenny racicot is, as i understand it, very common among progressive women in maine. they’ve been put in an impossible position and feel like they’re tanking platner’s campaign when in reality he did that on his own by being a violent and reckless person.

Update: three tubs of roasted red pepper hummus (two into the freezer for later), and a pint container of beans waiting to be crisped up to top lunches
Currently making Sunday beans (2 cups of dried garbanzos in the instant pot) for the week ahead. We could all use more beans.

Finally made the calendar app I've been wanting

sufficient.software/menu-calendar/

Drops down from menu bar, pull events from Calendar.app, join button that forces correct google account for meet links, quickly build a copy/paste block of availability for sending in emails/chats

Got fed up with none of the various “tablet as a monitor” apps not working with my ePaper boox tablet, so I rolled my own. Folks, it is as good as I imagined. Finally unlocking working outside in full sun.

I am raising money for a winter festival in Milwaukee. In 2024, 200+ people came. This years dates are Feb 8 and 15, 2025. Food, fun and bonfires. Donations go toward keeping all the activities free to attendees. Bring a little joy to deep winter.

Gave my first radio interview this week. This is Xcaret Nuñez of @wuwmradio.bsky.social, who is so good at her job that it was actually fun and not terrifying. We talked about www.winterbreakmke.com and what it means for Milwaukee.

shame on @cbs58.bsky.social for firing Sam Kuffel for naming Elon Musk’s Nazi salute

shame on Dan O’Donnell for mobilizing trolls to harass her & call for her job

this dark chapter of our country’s history will eventually be over and we’ll all remember who showed integrity & who didn’t

Went to the doctor for the first time in a while today

Receptionist: “Are you still at [address I haven’t lived at since 1991, age 2]?”

It hasn’t been THAT long…
