I appreciate the commitment to the bit, and coffee splotch integrity

It's so jarring visiting folks in the suburbs now like what do you mean I can't travel down the road for the coffee. Man. Every city needs better transit

First up: Anticonquista! They only one I've already visited in the past. But I had to start here
In many ways the most single origin you'll ever get! :3

Coffee is very good. Nothing crazy but easily the best "standard medium-dark" espresso you could ask for

Heading out on another little #chicago #coffee tour! This time, Pilsen and Bridgeport 😤

Good excuse to really explore outside of my usual stomping grounds :3

In a fit of "I don't have to live with this shit" energy, I made the effort to replace my Razer mouse's shitty scroll wheel encoder 😤
I think learning to solder w/ mechanical keyboards really gave me a good baseline for this kind of thing :3

Wow 2% of all the bikeshare stayions...that feels like a lot, especially since I mostly just use the same few each time. Guess that micromobolity really comes in handy! #chicago #bikechi

Oh yeah the art museum and zoo are the two attractions I am actually very familiar with! I had a summer internship at the zoo's endocrinology lab way back when and would just hang out there or at the museum afterwards :3

The Ellsworth Kelly pieces were my faves 💜 (esp this one)

My brother's dog ate my Stalin history book. I guess even dogs can be revisionist 😕

Gonna get a salad to be healthy 😊

Had a great time :3

Hell yeah tourist time

The train to St Louis is worth it if only for the last 5 minutes

Took about half the bag but I finally dialed this spooky #coffee into a perfect pour over 😤☕️

It's an anaerobic process, so it has really good but chill fermented notes with a strong "candied" flavor note

I'll never get tired of train travel, mang. We need this everywhere 😤🚄

Checking out a new cafe, "Milli by Metric". Giant jade plants, warm wood everywhere, these crazy blue-orange tables...and pretty good #coffee and (apparently) insane in-house pastries. Feels like a winner so far!

This behemoth barely fits in my bag lmao I should've checked to see if I was going to be bringing home a brick 🧱

At a book signing event for House of Leaves author's newest novel :3

I've already started making plans for a 3rd-wave #coffee outing during #MFF this year.

Thinking also of organizing a #bouldering gym outing too, since First Ascent's Block 37 location is:

1. Fucking awesome
2. Literally attached to a Blue line L station (Rosemont --> Washington no transfers!)

I think the driver missed the detour turn lol. Why the heck are we on Belden

Pumpkin carving!! The grey one is crazy thick so I stopped after hollowing it (halloweeining it)

Every other time I add something new to my website the date-sorting decides to fuck up
This is annoying but not so annoying that I'm gonna fix it right away....grrr

My favorite part about the new comment system is that while I allow people to use their bsky to fetch their avatar images...I knew some folks may not want to/be able to...so what to use as the default in that case?

Obviously Wrex! And one of his best photos, to boot :3

A Penitent Argent, just in time for Halloween 😈

Thanks @sharpibees.bsky.social as always for the incredible art! 💜

Finally added comments to articles on my website! This is a big deal because jesus christ it's hard to add a comment system to a static-generated blog. Go figure 😮‍💨

Anyways, most of it is automated but ultimately I have to manually copy-paste the comment stuff into my website and push an update so 🥴
