Maker of things, stuff, and experiences; currently undergoing a literal renaissance.
I live in an old house in Boston with a big black cat, a little white cat, and a curvaceous redhead. How did I get here?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

About once a month I remember I have an account on here and I scramble to find all the people I want in my world on /this/ platform and post some blather about how annoying it is that I can’t find a single tool that posts to all my social media accounts
What? Too meta? Er…so to speak

Saw Paul Simon in concert last night with @missminamurray.com I’ve seen him 3 times - each show so different.
On another note, I really want one place to post things that distributes to all my platforms. Does such a thing exist?

Saw “Triumph of Love” at The Huntington. Enjoyed everything about it except the play… great acting, beautiful lighting, clever script—but the main character ruins a bunch of lives to get what she wants. Made me uncomfortable to think of her as a “hero”

Musk Xed that Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim had ties to organized crime. Within minutes, Slim canceled contracts with StarLink costing Musk $7B. He also announced a shift of a planned $22B over 5 years from Starlink to non-U.S. companies. www.msn.com/en-us/techno... Smooth move, X-lax.

I am trying to post here more often but I don’t love the interface and my brain apparently doesn’t shape its thoughts well to 300 character tidbits.

On the more pleasant side, I saw a quirky exhibit at the Center for Book Arts in NYC. It was a collection of “Blooks” — objects designed to look like books, but aren’t books. There were game boxes, a set of different wood samples from the Maine forestry service, and a kids’ spy set from the 1960s

This is going to get dark, but I’ll start with the lighter stuff, and you can bail out if you need to
Tomorrow (Feb 28) is Albert Day.
Albert brought out the best in everyone who met him. He was kind, and patient in a way which now (owning another cat) seems supernatural.

More “barging”, please. Also “storming.” We could use more “storming.”
Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office unscheduled on Wednesday and challenged him about Elon Musk's team gaining access to a sensitive payment system at the Treasury Department.

Story Prompt: you stop in at a diner in a small town. Just passing through. You sit down and discover that someone has left this pamphlet on the table. Maybe your phone is low on batteries, maybe you’re just that bored… but you pick it up to flip through it.
