Hi all. It's been a while since I've asked, but I'm here again asking for you to support your local fediverse instance. I know many instance operators struggle to make ends meet each month, and there does seem to be a downward trend on donations across the board. If you love this place and are in a position to and your instance supports it, please consider supporting them. Thank you!

Remember to stay cool and push to prod today.

Coping with the heat

Wednesday motivation

I’ve been drooling over this forever. It finally goes on sale when I have no income. The universe hates me. I do have the single head 1200j model and it’s a joy to use.

I am pretty sure Thor used the 15th of his 9 lives this week. It’s been a rough one for him (and us) but he’s doing better today. He’s 19, diabetic, deaf and now apparently has kidney disease. We’re now trying to prioritize quality over quantity of life for him. Today, I brought his favorite toy (a stuffed can of white claw) to him where he was laying and then went to my bedroom. A few minutes later, I hear him howling and getting closer. He walks up to me, looks up, and drops the toy in front of me. Send happy thoughts to my buddy, please.
