Not quite the same but I used to work children's birthdays dressed up as D&D monsters. Costumes were made of horrible, cheap plastics and masking tape. The amount of sweat meant I ran through the shirts and pants I used every two months or so because they were too disgusting to keep wearing.
reminds me of driving home from the liquor warehouse at 2AM, drenched in beer and wine from exploding cases, hoping no cop pulled me over.

Former sprouts sorter here! Used to work the baby sprouts line at night in the freezer plant on Chestnut Street. I'd walk home at 3 in the morning & leave my boots & plastic apron on the front steps so as not to bring the factory smell into the house.

It's so good that I can't easily listen to Transatlantic because Neal Morse is trying to make his Christian music streaming service that will never succeed or whatever the fuck that man is doing

I bet it would feel so good to have my pyschosphere self annihilated by a Searing Bolt (lvl 7)
Firing a searing bolt at your phantom image, which travels by way of some tremulous connection in the psychosphere to yourself, thereby destroying you utterly

Not sure what YOU need this morning but maybe it's one of the grooviest albums ever made. London jazz, Ghanian groove, exquisite production (like some of the best I've ever heard). One of my favorite groups of all time. Throw on the first track, trust.

comics are so good
Wherever I’m With You (Putnam 2027), a co-created graphic novel by Suzanne Samin and me, follows two former best friends from the Bronx: Aran, a Syrian American teen, grappling with his mother’s death,
and Tao, a college basketball star, who have to face life and old feelings once Tao moves back.

I love these functions so much, such a better way to capture adjacency than parent-child relationships
A great, practical article teaching you about the newer sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions in CSS.

Staggered Animation with CSS sibling-* Functions
The new CSS sibling-index() (and -count()) functions are perfect for staggered timing affects. This goes a little step further staggering both before and after a selected element.

Not sure if anyone following me needs this reminder but I am vehemently and materially on the side of trans people. The trans struggle for liberation and freedom is the struggle of us all. Support and protect the trans people in your life in whatever way you can. A better world is possible.
