taylor tomlinson: being bipolar is like not knowing how to swim. it might be embarrassing to tell people and it might be hard to take you certain places. but they have arm floaties, and if you just take your arm floaties, you can go whereever in the hell you want! but what if people judge me for taking arm floaties? well, those people don’t care if you live or die, so maybe fuck those people.
great bicycling on the Monster Cookie ride today.. until it wasn't. Shattered at one point. Made it through, even held the wheel of the group I'd found. So thankful for them.

Watching Heather Armstrong.
You know, I’m crying about Dooce. Fuck. Amazing person.
Crappy photos showing the trees are in bloom in Portland
@hotdogsladies@mastodon.social did you watch the "self-aiming hoop" thing from Stuff Made Here after John mentioned it on RecDiffs when you were talking about your can crusher.

lolwat Eric Swalwell was on the second season of Jury Duty (aka Company Retreat)?
rekt by this.

@alexcox@mastodon.social I thought you might like it for the pokemon type reason. glad you do!
Was musing last night about growing up in a flavor of conservative Christian religion.
Everyone talks about sex before marriage.
That isn’t the goal of heathens. It’s living together before marriage. Of course sex is a component, but it’s missing the focal point.
Current status is basically “allergies or man flu or flu?”
these are harmless baby spiders but is it a good entry for spider league? @alexcox@mastodon.social
the One Chinese BBQ, on 20th and Hawthorne, advertises on the back of their Cybertruck.
Guess I won't be going there.
