Me, responding to Jackie (asking if I want her to close the house up): “Don’t do anything on my account. Do whatever makes sense to you. Or, if nothing makes sense to you… be confused.”

“That felt like going downhill,” said Jackie.

“We’ve been living in Central Illinois too long,” said I.

(To be fair, it was downhill—just barely.)

“Be a good dog. Don’t boop my laptop with your snout,” I said.

“What should she boop it with?” asks Jackie.

If you don’t want to get hit with a sword, you might want to consider a different hobby.

I think this is hilarious: a very expensive Pixel Watch (like I recently bought myself) with a case and watch face to make it look like a cheap G-Shock knock-off.

I immediately got the aesthetic they were going for, but half of the commenters are like “Why would I want to do that?”

Just saw a toot wanting a feature to add subtitles to videos, but read it as wanting a feature to add subtlety to videos, which seems like an even better idea.

Somebody should develop a breed of really big cherries, and then name them “tomato cherries.”

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
