@davedobson.bsky.social your book is my (very enjoyable!) entertainment as I walk around Charleston. I know I’m one state off, but it’s fun to have one of the Carolinas as my backdrop. #reading #walking.
Distant Olympics. From that first peak you can see five volcanos on a clear day.
7 questions anyone even *thinking* about running for office should be ready to answer. @runforsomething.net @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org @mollyjongfast.bsky.social
Best part of yesterday: *finishing* a puzzle on the ferry. 💪We really applied ourselves—no idle chatter, no staring out the window. Thanks @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov for letting us be the last off. #seattle
#PSA: you'd have to *make an effort* to get this godawful passport. It will be a limited edition only available to applicants at a D.C. location. So, fellow renewers: there is no need to panic (about this). Panic about everything else. Image credit: Jon Elswick/AP
Dr. Robby's now famously weak swaddle 🤣 was a gift of sorts: what a joy to go through old photos and find examples of swaddles done right. At the time, we were quite sure we were doing *everything* wrong. #ThePitt
Common bluebell, don’t listen to those clowns. I think you’re extraordinary. #bloomscrolling
Trying to map, via doodling, where I interact with people and ideas on a typical day…and what, if anything, I want to change about that. #onlyconnect
This is a pic of my dog after surgery, wandering around the house in a Chad Michael Murray blanket. Somehow, it captures how I felt for most of Tuesday. This week I wrote about how chaos is bad for #business -- and what we could do about it. To read: kategace.substack.com/p/chaosand-t...
I spent yesterday rearranging tulips on the Titanic. What a weird and sickening 12 hours that was.
In all the righteous anger about AI slop, I feel like we haven't spent enough time on the fact that this photo is REAL.
I should probably iron more, but also: tulips! #bloomscrolling
On my daily walk, working from home, this is becoming a Tom Hanks/Wilson situation for me.
Post a pic from the #80s that was you playing dress up but might easily have not been.
We're trying to cut our monthly food bill in half by: a) doing almost all our shopping at Costco and b) skipping take-out/restaurants. The problem is: who even knows what lurks in the chest freezer in our garage??? So I took everything out, snapped a pic...and I'm vibe coding an inventory tool.🤞
Was tempted to answer this question from my tax preparer as follows: "Yes, in small, almost imperceptible ways because 20 years is a long time and life is hard." But in the end, I just checked the "no" column.
I am--most affordable midlife crisis ever. Behold: me changing my own f*cking oil.
