The protective case for my new laptop arrives today, which leaves me with some very important decisions to make. What stickers go on the new case? (In addition to these two, of course)
I can haz sweater! I could have gone a bit more drawn in at the waist, but it’s pretty good. Now to figure out what to do with the remaining 500yards of Aran weight Shetland 3-ply.
Not only is the hoodie finished, it is now feline approved and covered in cat spit.
Work in progress, with feline supervision. (Tracy hoodie, patten by Cocoknits)
The Identiverse Call for Proposals is open, which means it’s officially “that time” again. You know the time: when the hallway rants, hard lessons, and half-formed ideas either stay memes… or become talks. If you’ve got a topic you keep wishing someone would cover—this is your sign. 📝
The paw crossing as she “helps” me pack is killing me.
AND! My flight was cancelled so guess where I am hanging out now? (Floret has tasty cocktails, just sayin’)
Wait, it’s a travel day you say? Well then obviously I must be at Floret @ SEA!
All you people who have been coaching my cat on how to hide in my suitcase so he comes with me on trips, you can stop now.
I am so grateful for cake and dessert wine for dinner this week, I can’t begin to tell you. This month has been kinda shit.
When home for only a few days between trips, kitty snuggles take priority over working (especially on the weekend).
We are SO MEAN to this cat. Her life is one of hardship and woe. Just ask her.
New podcast ep is out: Bot or Not? Why Incentives Matter More Than Identity. Spoiler: Knowing who the bot is doesn’t fix overloaded servers. sphericalcowconsulting.com/digital-iden...
Mercy graces the morning sun with her presence. Spoiled cat.
And there's a podcast episode if people would rather listen!
Mercy has informed me that’s she is not receiving enough adoration.
It’s a good thing I have two windows in most rooms, that’s all I’m sayin’.
Bummed I couldn’t get a travel charm for Geneva or Switzerland, but at least I found ones for Malta and Madrid!
