For nearly the past 30 years I've been haunted by an—as far as I can tell—specific-to-me cryptid, and I figure since I'm new to bsky I've never told this story on this platform.

I want to talk about the Pigeon Man.
Started 2026 by opening a container of runes I hadn’t opened in months only to find that one had fractured and one was missing so, uh, hm. Don’t like that.

(Anyone wanna crowdfund me replacing these bad boys?)

Just wanna drop this in here but the best date I ever had as a neurodivergent guy meeting another neurodivergent guy was playing board games together in a pub. We didn't end up Dating, but it was a pleasant meet. Having an activity takes the pressure off having to do constant talky and body language
💚 board games 💚

"Dr Atherton said: "Our research has shown they [board games] can enhance wellbeing, foster inclusion, and support learning, with strong evidence that games improve engagement and social connection for neurodivergent individuals compared to other activities."
Study explores wellbeing impact of board games
Researchers find games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Dixit can lead to a boost in confidence.

The idea of the end to “me” is less frightening if I view it as a site-specific symphony coming to a close. The separate musicians pack up their instruments, maybe share a cigarette together. Some swap just enough contact info that they can find each other down the road, years from now.
➡️
But for real, is death actually frightening? I think it's more the pain on the way that we are worried about.

I look forward to my dirt nap, actually. Not enough to skip forward, no, but the idea of an end to "me" doesn't bother me. And anything gruesome is, as I said, a problem for someone else.

I didn’t expect the next murder mystery to turn into “deep dive into the history of transportation around the Bay Area between 1880 and 1940 so that you’re as period-accurate as possible even if no one else cares” but *wow* I’m having fun with the background research on this one.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Marathoned Finding Mr. Christmas S2 and uh, it’s a little bit…convenient…to me that they eliminated Robbie (who spoke eloquently about his mother passing away) the episode before the episode with a challenge involving surprising the contestants with a visit from their moms.
