It was heartening to get a major round of applause for @pandangit.com's work in my recent conference talk. 😁

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today
A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

Got some opportunities on the horizon as I push through current projects, but struggle time is NOW.

So if you're in the market for a design, tarot reading, or some fun art, or just feel like putting some tasty bamboo into a hungry panda, keep me in your thoughts, pls & thx.

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
Scooby I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time 1d RookaTX This is the way Scooby • RookaTX Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures. 1d

I was at a show where a mosh pit opened behind me and started to pin me against the stage, and some random dude managed to get his body between the pit and me and braced himself around me and against the stage. Then other folks noticed too and helped him get me safely out. ❤️

Mosh pit rules also apply to gender. Be supportive, kind, and have fun. 🖤
Meme with a photo of a mosh pit. The surrounding text reads: There's three mosh pit rules Pick 'en up if they fall If they want out, let 'em out If they want in, let' em in These can be the rules of masculinity

Kindness is often cheaper (thus "fiscally responsible") than the punitive approaches we generally try:

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Well, shit, i love that.

In another age I worked at Circuit City and their POS terminals had functions assigned to the number row and any manual number had to be done on the numpad. Couple years of that and my fingers still dance so much faster across a numpad.

Gladys Mae West (1930-now), a Black mathematician, made pivotal contributions to GPS technology through her precise satellite geodesy calculations. Her once-overlooked work is now foundational to GPS. She was inducted into the AF Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2018. #BlackHistory
An elderly Gladys Mae West wearing glasses and a warm smile is seated in a striped chair. She is wearing a black hat, a navy blue blazer, and a colorful scarf with shades of pink, white, and gray. She holds a cane in her lap and appears to be in a well-lit indoor setting with a blurred background featuring framed artwork on the wall.
