Ok internet: what in the good goddamn is the word circled in orange?

I added to my shopping list and I have no idea. Maybe part of it got erased.

I’m annoyed that I’m not going to know until it’s time to deliver the viral borga cookies that I promised I’d bring to the antifa bake sale.

This will make the most marvelous mudlarker’s companion! I constantly wonder why I’m finding where I find it.

Spouse gave me this for Christmas, but it has many gaps for my needs. An additional 400 pages should help.

I’ve spent the day in the basement trying to troubleshoot my janky little 3d printer and printing 1000 whistle cards. In the process of tweaking settings, I created this little blob but that took hours during which I could not look at the internet.

Mudlarking!
Wherever you go, you can find human history under your feet if you spend about 20 minutes looking at old maps or the history of an area near any waterway whatsoever.

Gas company digging up street? Opportunity to see pottery shards and old bottles!
I find many doll heads and marbles

The juxtaposition of assembling ice alert whistles and listening to the inaugural speeches is pretty damn jarring.

Oooo! I’m gonna use the gifts instead of saving them for some unknown future. Tossed a smelly bombe into the shower and it was weird but now it’s all rosy and lavender-y. Had some fancy jalapeño strawberry jam on my toast as I planned to use new shiny watercolors. All gifts I was saving!

900 whistle cards assembled today! Mostly newcomers.
Almost everyone felt empowered to take a bundle of 25 to canvass here in Flatbush.

Flatbush has language free whistle cards that don’t need translation for diverse neighborhoods where canvassers might not have common language with neighbors!

@dansinker.com we’ve got graphic whistle cards that work great when you don’t have a common language with all your neighbors. And lightens translation loads on very diverse neighborhoods.

We punch a hole and put it on a key ring.

Emergency whistle kits for anxious parents at a school near tonight’s abduction.

In Flatbush, we put together a graphical whistle code card to reduce translation needs. Files are here if you want to adapt for your neighborhood. Outside NYC, just print front. We're doing mini whistles because we can 3d print them for 5-7¢ each. We keep us safe. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Happy Cat Making Biscuits in a Crinoline Day to all who celebrate!

Sitting eating my sandwich in Fort Washington park and a woman just walked by listening to Raphael sing ave Maria and serenaded me. We spoke briefly in Spanish about this gorgeous day and place and I love this town more than ever.

They will have to come through me to get to her.

If they say ”you sure? Or you don’t have to do that”, you smile, wave your hand and say “we take care of each other” or nothing at all.

That’s it. You don’t make a big deal out of it. Practice doing it in your head and it is easier when you need to do it.

Found this the other day: seems to be a rouge plate from late 1800s. Rouge powder was pressed into the grooves on the plate. I thought it was a lid for a cosmetics jar, but it was delivered just on plate. One didn’t travel with cosmetics in one’s reticule. Gasp.

I love #mudlarking.

Bought a couple drawing pencils in a case at a stoop sale and this was in the sketch pad.

Yes, kid, you’re awesome.

The overwhelming majority of the people who show up week after week holding signs over the highway with my ma in yolo county are 80+!
October 18, 2025 at 10:19 PM
If you’re making signs, there’s a free font called we the people based on the preamble to the constitution that makes everything look pretty badass.

Still working on tomorrow’s, but here’s my June one.

I've finally given up
attempting to buy this part for a project. Who do I know who could help me design and 3d print something based on these? (Don't need or want
metal)

Mine’s today. I’ll share my cake with you. I’m pretty sure it’ll be delicious even though it’s very crooked. The kids made it with a lot of love and zero help and covered the bumps with sprinkles.

At least the pig buns were good and cute.

Added a wee bit of coal to my treasures. There were also many rocks. It’s raining in earnest now, but the downspout’s been extended an extra 5’ from foundation into a shallow trench.
