Having lived the majority of my life in Seattle, I've seen many folks rocking the Birkenstocks with socks look. Yesterday, I saw that game upped with Crocs with socks.

Dear #webdev friends, if your website is so laden with ads that the page loads SLOOOOOWWW, you're not doing it right.

Unspoiled golden perfection
Fed by warm sunlight

Netanyahu never cared about the hostages.

Everybody knew. That Overton window just had to shift until it was palatable

Amazing story. Have you followed it?

Texas A&M announces a new journalism dean. She's black and she's qualified— and an alum of the school! Ex-New York Times too.

They announce her appointment in a splashy event.

Dark forces of reaction mobilize.

The offer is watered down to one year, with no tenure. She says no way, and withdraws. National news is made. It's negative. And today, the president of A&M resigns!

Birds don't have calendars:

I just spoke with a seagull friend of mine who visits daily across from my window. There are a few that visit me each day for the past 3 years or so, i've gotten pretty good at making seagull sounds (the short low ones, not the high loud ones they are most known for).

Sometimes i interject in English, 'Good morning Seagull!' and then speak in seagull again and they seem to like that, it lets them know i'm a human who also speaks bird.

Today i told the seagull it was Tuesday in case they were wondering, the seagull responded loudly and then we spent a few minutes talking in seagull again before they flew away and i returned to my coffee and browsing the fedi.

I think it's important to check in with our bird friends and occasionally let them know what day of the week it is. I've never seen a calendar for birds and even though they know so much, seeing all of us each day from above, we need to help them when it comes to filling in some of the gaps of things they don't pick up on.

Do your part if you can today, let a bird know it's Tuesday. They can let the others know so no one misses any appointments they have coming up today or later this week.

Instead of running old polls showing Americans' uninformed feelings on an issue (ahem @washingtonpost), Marketplace shows exactly how chilling it is when your state's laws force you to flee your home in fear. https://www.marketplace.org/2023/05/08/a-family-fled-texas-to-protect-their-transgender-child-theyre-still-afraid/

Well, Twitter, in the infinite wisdom of #ElonMusk, is adding to the workflow of bloggers everywhere.

If I were a celebrity now stuck with the blue checkmark of the #EightBuckSchmuck, I'd sue Elon for defamation.
