Monologue has been an absolute game-changer for how I use my Mac. Selfishly, they're giving out some really cool swag for people who get the most referrals, but I also just genuinely want more people using this app because it rules. Good vibes and great functionality monologue.to?ref=COGVBIY

@zottmann.dev - feature request for Browser Actions: it would be AMAZING if you could get it to work with Dia from The Browser Company. I know they haven't been the most friendly to automation in the past, but if there's some way to get it to work that would be 🔥

I’m entering my journaling era (mostly Hobonichi but a range of things) and I’m really loving it so far. Fancy stationary is so fun

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Excuse my language but what fucking business is it of the united states government whether Brown undertakes this kind of medical care for parents and their kids who fully consent to it and desire it? Insanity! Pure discrimination in an agreement trollingly cloaked in preventing discrimination.

it is absolutely maddening to me that we have “canceled” upwards of five trans megastars over very ordinary and common human mistakes
while bands like whirr and brand new and arcade fire get to come back, stay active and we all just normalize their returns because “anti-woke” or whatever

how does one actually find IRL trans community/friends? I feel like everyone talks about how important it is to make trans friends (which I agree with!) but no one ever talks about *how* to do it. I live in SF and I feel like it should be easier here than in many places, and yet it remains a mystery

I gotta respect the effort and hustle that Nori (our cat) puts in to trying to con me or my partner out of getting extra food after one of us has already fed her. She does it practically every time and we *basically* never fall for it, but she is undeterred.

I think this post will stick with me for a long, long time. I've lost track of how many times I've jumped around between different productivity systems. Maybe the best system is, as @joanwestenberg.com writes, "simply, no system at all"

if the holy father of the roman catholic church, by canon of the faith a man with a direct line of communication to the creator of the universe, can admit he is an out-and-out fan of the chicago white sox and not the cubs, it is beyond the pale for a politician to do the "i like em both" schtick

after having dealt with a *lot* of dysphoria in recent weeks, it was really a breath of fresh air to have multiple different servers and hotel staff gender me correctly this weekend (e.g. "how's it going ladies?" when coming up to our table). Maybe I look more like a girl than I think 🤔

one of my favorite authors put up a zine for sale over the weekend. I missed the announcement while on a trip and it sold out. I emailed asking about extras and he had some stashed aside!
I guess the lesson here is that it's okay to ask for things and often people are nice and want to help!

I feel like I'm in a weird bubble where literally all I can think about is the game Blue Prince, which came out a few weeks ago and is excellent. The world continues to go on and I have to participate in capitalism and such, but the only thing I want to be doing is exploring that fucking mansion
