Drew my migraine today. Pain 8. I feel like shit. I feel like I’ll be lucky if I don’t puke.

These screenshots are from 48ish to 52 on the new Nomads map. Which is basically a Yellow River simulator until late game when the mapmaker runs out of bombs to blow up your last water source, & new badwater sources to poison your water. Most of these rivers are actually water pumped into dry beds.

Timbergnaw Lodge megastructure for Timberborn 1.1. 324-bed apartment complex with direct zipline access on each floor, ground floor food storage, water each floor, medical beds, all decorations, all well-being buildings in or adjacent, & all wonders on or adjacent. Everything a beaver could want.

Asunder, Sweet and Order Distress by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. My brain just perpetually sounds like Lambs’ Breath.

I love Once I Swam In Lakes so much I made a bar far too layered and complicated political protest pin out of it. Exactly one person has ever deciphered it and they’re a professional opera singer.

Ethan Coen wrote, directed, produced, & edited the straight neo-noir crime comedy The Big Lebowski (1998) with his brother Joel Coen, & wrote, directed, & produced the lesbian road trip crime comedy Drive-Away Dolls (2024) with his wife Tricia Cooke (who edited it). Very much a spiritual successor.

This delightful thread plus extreme fatigue & insomnia have netted me my second Pride button pin design for my upcoming markets.

Raishan the Diseased Deceiver from Critical Role Campaign 1 and The Legend of Vox Machina.

Got a reply from Alex this morning, which I will cherish more than any other meme reaction.

The Symphony last night was really good. Our brilliant music director Alex Prior debuted his Blorbo From My Dissertation arrangement of Handel's Four Extractions of Water Musick to move it out of stuffy concert halls and back to the royal barge procession it was written for.

Amazon Creek in Eugene, Oregon early 2025 (📸 Eugene Weekly) vs. January 2026 vs. April 2026 (📸 Me).

Some recent acquisitions.

When even the shithead ally that enabled every one of your fuckass power grabs has one single moment of self-awareness that the face-eating leopard he's been assisting will eat his face, too.

The panel I saw today was The Joy in the Fight: Building Grassroots Power Through Community and Courage. This was a panel of four professional activists talking to a standing-room-only classroom about how they were able to increase participation in the movement through fun, relaxation, & community.

Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do learn history are still doomed to repeat it, but it really ups the quality of your posting game.

This Thursday, March 12 to Sunday, March 15 is the 44th annual Public Interest Environmental Law Conference (PIELC) hosted by the student group Land Air Water at the University of Oregon School of Law. This is by far the funniest panel name and description I've ever seen.

Fanny Farmer's cottage cheese pancakes filled with summer squash, fennel, leeks, vegan bacon, and Marieke Gouda Summer Fields cheese (cow milk, salt, rosemary, onion, tomato, thyme, garlic, and cheese cultures) from the bargain bin, topped with a farmers market chimichurri sauce.

When the 90+ year old owner died the next year, she left it to its fierce editor that sailed thrift the storm lashed to the wheel. She brought back the Activist Alert calendar and we're getting really great issues like this digging into all the things people are doing to resist.

Subscribe to The Onion and you too can get a whole Planned Parenthood clinic laughing at an unpaid advertisement you brought with you to an appointment.

Eugene, Oregon. The adult males will aggressively do traffic control to make cars pass in the other lane to protect the hens & young ones while they eat grubs out of front yards. They’re particularly a menace at the community college in the hills where they’ll trap people in parking lots for hours.

HAPPENING NOW: Students march through the University of Oregon campus. EPD blocked streets escorting them to block traffic, and appear to not be interfering at the moment.

The common experience of a bisexual awakening seeing The Mummy came up while hanging out with strangers at a Ren Faire tavern, & I ended up making this button pin about it. Bumper sticker was one of many on a car clearly driven by a queer theater nerd who hates being honked at & loves being cringe.

I was quite pleased with this button pin design and how much that font and district color coding could communicate.

I fully agree with you. There have been a lot of political figures known to be of deaths door that people have rooted along in my lifetime, but not with an almost conspiratorial fervor like this. I say that as someone who made and sold this pin design immediately upon hearing Pat Robinson died.

Gotta say that this one looks very striking in the boxes.

Artistically expressing feelings of physical pain. A selection of my migraine paintings. I really need to do more of these.

Do it! I have never, ever regretted tiling the bathroom floor in hex mosaic with a border, even though I had to help cut those rosettes out of the tile sheets & the architecture firm intern spent over a week in CAD placing each tile by hand in for the plans. Every time I see it I'm struck with joy.

Another beautiful sunset.

McKenzie-Willamette all the way. They freed my girl the Amazon Creek from this prison (pictured) & she's looking so glamorous with her freshly sloped banks & riparian restoration boulders with the new trees & stabilizing groundcover plants. Come spring she's gonna be wearing wildflower finery.
