Go Make Things

There’s an older deaf gentleman in my town who’s very friendly, and likes to communicate with rudimentary hand gestures, but I have a hard time understand what he’s trying to say.

Last week, I needed to make some pretty major updates to a web component in a design system I use for clients.

We recently moved from a rural suburb in Massachusetts to a small coastal village in Rhode Island.

About 14 years ago, we moved out into the rural suburbs.

I saw this on Mastodon today (saved the image, lost the source), and it just brought me so much joy!

I just ordered a bunch of leftist patches to put on my backpack, because virtue signaling is good, actually.

I’m loving the resurgence of zines!

In native gardening, the most effective way to prevent unwanted plants (aka weeds) from growing is to crowd them out with plants you do want.

Today, I realized that running my own business (successfully for a while) is a big part of what made me hate capitalism so damn much.

Almost immediately after finishing the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, I started re-reading the books.

In countries outside of the US, “libertarianism” is often synonymous with anarchy.

So many anarchist principles seems like they would “never work”… because they literally cannot under capitalism, but would work just fine under a different system.

I made another unhoused friend today.

This weekend, I finished tending my guide on AI that I had planted a seed for in my digital garden.

I don’t particularly care for Dolly Parton’s music, but I loved Dolly Parton.

There’s a rather popular flavor of social media content focused on helping unhoused people.

This week, I had to write CSS for a design where a list of elements got a bit of extra design treatment if there were at least three nested items inside it. <!

Back in March, I shared a bit of a sad update on my unhoused friends.

I’m a huge fan of the Buy Nothing Project, a movement that promotes the sharing and giving economy over one where people buy ever more shit.
