    Do others on Micro.blog truly get RSS updates in their timelines? I’ve subscribed to one and even though there have been new posts, I’m not getting the content. Same goes with a Tumblr blog I follow. Wondering if it’s just me.

    At a friends’ kids’ birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and I’m pretty sure this is how Covid started.

    Notes

    This last week has been kind of hellish in a sort of funny but not too funny sort of way.

    We’ve all, at various overlapping times, had colds and conjunctivitis. Yep, pink eye.

    Thank goodness for the extra days off. Sleeping but not well, and my wife has it in both eyes 👀. Looks awful

    😖😳🤣

    New air fryer owner, here. So I picked up some Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites from Costco to try cooking them in it. Might have a new addiction.

    This is about the most American post I could conjur.

    An excerpt from an interview with Noam Chomsky prior to the October 7 conflict.

    For 50 years, Israel has been explicitly trying to use the Holocaust as a propaganda weapon to justify crushing the Palestinians, occupying Palestinian territory illegally, practically destroying Gaza [which is] almost unlivable now. A million children can’t even get potable water. The constant atrocities in the West Bank. You read journalists like Gideon Levy, Amira Hass, others, daily reports. They think they can get away with this as long as they can wave the Holocaust in front of people’s eyes.

    People have tried to get me to eat fish my entire life. It makes me gag. One of my favorites protests is: “you’ll like this, it doesn’t taste fishy at all!”

    But why are people trying to get me to eat something that’s threshold for quality is that it doesn’t taste like the thing that it is? 🤔

    Maybe a weird question, but anyone know if there are any free and open source budgeting apps for iOS with bank account sync? Or is that just way beyond what anyone should expect from FOSS?

    I hadn’t logged into my Pixelfed account in a while. The Progressive Web App is a lot nicer now, IMO. Very polished.

    Thinking of my brother on his heavenly birthday today. He would’ve been 41. Miss you.

    Wrapping up week 4 in the new job and enjoying it. The first few months are all about finding your bearings. I’ve got a supportive team helping me grow into the role, but I’ve already had a lot of uncomfortable situations. Just picking up the discourse, the new language, is always a challenge.

    Micro.blog down?

    Apologies to anyone following my music listening history and sees everything from Elmo and Fugazi.

    After two days of public transit and traveling around downtown Portland and Seattle, I’m really saddened by the fact that that my son was just about the only child I saw, and I honestly questioned my parenting by exposing him to certain things on this trip. I left with him for the KISS concert wondering if maybe he was too young for the show, not even really thinking about the realities of our cities.

    I left with him for the KISS concert wondering if maybe he was too young for the show, not even really thinking about the realities of our cities. I figured our quick public transit trips would be no big deal, but our homelessness and drug issues are just so bad, and I regret not driving us up there.

    I am used to having regular fears. I’ve lived …

    On a packed bus and some lady is on speaker phone buying something and repeated her credit card number, expiration, and security code, OUT LOUD. Seriously, how dumb can you be?

    More Seattle fun. We rode up to the top of the Space a needle with a load of Hindu monks. They were very kind to my son and let him ride by the windows in the elevator. Nice littlle extended weekend getaway for us boys.

    Me and my boy saw KISS in Seattle tonight!

    Waiting for our…bus.

    Figures. Haven’t taken the train in forever and now it’s going to be a bus ride due to a landslide.

    Looks like Micro.blog forgot to fall back today, all the time stamps are an hour in the future.

    Three years ago, I was recognized as an Italian citizen and I’m going to visit the Veneto region where me and my children are registered. I’m really excited.

    The paint I got on my watch yesterday unlocked memories of seeing similarly speckled paint on my dad’s digital watches growing up.
