Be kind to yourself today, ok?

No holding yourself to a standard you’d never expect of others.

Doing a “perfect day” for my partner today.

We started doing this for each other years back. Basically one of us just announces the other is getting a perfect day in a few days, we clear our schedules, and then just pamper the other all day long. Sometimes we do it when one of us is having a rough patch, other times we just do it spontaneously because it’s been a minute.

It’s one of my favorite couple traditions we have.

If I had more energy I'd be tempted to write a snarky, satirical, 21st century Jetson's style short story set in a future where all the dot-com 1.0-3.0 hype turned out to be true and faithful predictions of our lives in 2025. Just so I could explore the unanticipated drawbacks ("oops, the Amazon drone delivering your neighbour's new dishwasher just fell through your roof; meanwhile trades.com only shows you roofers who live in Boston, England, not Boston, MA").

@cstross Sega never stopped making home consoles…but they also never moved to 3D. Things were dicey for ~15 years, eking out on the strength of 2D MMO Sonic platformers that sold to a highly dedicated audience—an audience so obsessed with doing what Nintendon’t that they managed to keep The Sega Channel service viable indefinitely.

By 2020, the AAA gaming industry was so bloated, Sega was able to bounce back on the strength of the retro trend. Sega Channel is now the most used Roku app.

@hannah They demolished a 150 year old mansion on this site but the balcony just…wouldn’t go.

Tools couldn’t mark it. The wrecking ball crumbled on it. When they finally tore down the rest of the building, the balcony remained, floating impossibly, unsupported, fixed in space.

At that point the new owner had to admit it wasn’t worth the escalating costs so they incorporated it into the new design.

@Cyrus @alex @infernusgoatus This reminds me of how I used to visualize the old USPS logo. Someone must’ve told me at a very very young age it was an eagle, but how my little kid brain interpreted this for years was like the looney tunes dodo bird

The dodo bird from looney tunes. It has a green body that vaguely resembles a kiwi bird, actually? Also wears little boots. It has a pointy head and beak that look like the USPS logo from the previous image, and it has a little umbrella on its head so you it’s silly.

Like holy shit this is unreal

I gotta find the button for “print this shit on paper and mail it next year” because this website is basically unusable

Finally got what I needed(?) by taking a screenshot of a print preview. Everything else I tried resulted in my browser locking up).

Part of the reason this took so long is that they still have my contact information from high school and were trying to send 2FA codes to a landline that probably doesn’t exist anymore. I got them sent to my email instead, which was a 5-10 delay every time.

I tried updating my contact info but it would say success and then immediately forget it every time.

This also feels like a situation where the activity on the account is so insignificant it would not affect our taxes by even a cent if I just totally forgot it

But it’s taxes

So it also feels like if I forgot it, this would be the one year that we get audited and it would turn out filing that one form could have kept me out of jail but instead they’ll be taking me to a CIA black site

Hey all. There’s a comic book shop near me that’s struggling at the moment. The owner is disabled and nonbinary and dealing with some personal hardships too. They could use some sales.

They do mail-order, so if you’re in the US and looking to pick up some comics or graphic novels, maybe give them a look? (I bet they can order stuff that’s not on their site too.)

And if you’re not in a place to order something, could you give this post a boost?

Here’s their website: https://www.comicsmongers.com

jepyang,
@jepyang@wandering.shop avatar

This shop is a really special spot. The owner and most of the staff are queer, and they stock a ton of queer comics and books for all ages. They’re possibly the only business left in the area that is masks-mandatory. They host drag storytimes and they’re active community organizers.

They’re awesome, I really appreciate everyone on fedi showing support.

If comics aren’t your thing or you just want to give directly, the owner also has a gofundme here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-future-4-xtian-wz-reader

I mean, it checks several of my personal boxes—

  • ontological mystery
  • post-apocalyptic lost technology
  • crisis in a closed ecosystem
  • interesting world-building
  • intrigue coming out the wazoo

—but I think it’s pretty compelling TV independent of those factors. High production value…which has not been the case for a lot of recent SFF prestige TV, IMHO.
