Starting the day with French toast and some quality cat time, before a chosen-family Thanksgiving meal with our sisters.

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you get to have a queer one!

Amy and I have 4 days off, a rarity.

Tonight we went to MicroCenter and I bought a 24TB hard drive & filament.

Then we are some excellent sushi.

A good start. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving with our chosen sisters, Chicago style.

A couple years ago, I ordered a few ItsyBitsy boards from @adafruit.com to learn about the SAMD21. They were great designs to start learning.

Ultimately, I ended up with my Coin M0 for my text adventure games and I designed it to also support CircuitPython 🤩

Scarlett and I will be spending the day with the best sisters ever.

Chosen family is one of the absolute best things about being queer.
Equating holidays with fealty to nuclear family is a miserable trap.

Consider what you might do for and with community instead.

I was obsessed with making some sort of collection. So I made a 'Field Guide'-like shirt design of Adafruit boards. Lemme know what you think.

There's an easter egg, too, for those who have one of these boards. But you need the shirt to see it.

Now that Bowie is gone it feels like I never go outside.

We used to go for walks 4-5 times a day. When he was younger, 'cuz he loved to walk. Older, he needed to.

Anne & I have taken up what used to be his big afternoon walk as our walk time. It's good for us and helps fill the gap left behind.

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”

Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

This afternoon we went to the Chicago Griffin Museum of Science and Industry for a @caltech.edu Alumni luncheon. 80 folks networked and listened to president Rosenbaum discuss the Institute. We then looked at a U-boat, the Apollo 8 capsule and other cool stuff. A nice experience.

I've been dusting off my wedding purse. Downsizing to fit in a smaller form factor.

Remember this shopping season:

There are businesses that capitulated to the administration like Target, Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, etc.

Shop at stores that kept inclusiveness like Costco, Best Buy and Apple. And local stores.

We're fortunate to have many accepting stores locally.
