As I was looking at doing some more work on my personal landing page site, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that @pixelfed now has a logo in Font Awesome, which it did not the previous time I checked.

My Pixel keeps dismissing calls from the Ontario Green Party, and less frequently Medecins Sans Frontieres, as spam. Part of me doesn't really mind because I don't really want to talk to them at work - I already give what I can - but also, it doesn't seem great they're being considered spam.

The Beat Goes On may be the last store still doing the thing where Black Friday was for in-person sales and Cyber Monday is for online sales, instead of just having the same deals for a month or more straight and calling it all Black Friday.

I want to include a section on #drupal contribution in future RFPs and I’d rather adapt what others already have than start my own.

The upside of opting out of going to Wicked tonight because of the snow is that we had time to put our Christmas decorations up instead.

I'm certainly not saying this is good. We can be better than this, for sure. But for a sense of scale, another headline for this is "115 violent crimes out of 39 million boardings".

Well this is definitely an underwhelming amount of snow so far compared to the hype of the giant storm that was coming.

Part of me is amused how fast the cat switches from mostly ignoring me all summer to constantly wanting to be on my lap in the winter.
Another part of me is offended that she only loves me for my body heat.

That transition from the Sportsnet Raptors panel into a Stranger Things promo was an interesting choice.

I got an email from CBC Gem saying we could come back to Premium for $1/month for the next 6 months. There's nothing I really want to watch on Gem right now but that's definitely below the line where it would kinda just feel like a trivial donation to our constantly threatened public broadcaster.

My cat Rainbow likes to sit in this basket in my bathroom. My daughter painted a portrait of Rainbow in the basket. I hung it in the bathroom, naturally. Then I got a photo of Rainbow sitting in the basket underneath the painting.

I have made a dangerous to my health discovery: the grad student cafe does buy one get one free on their baked goods on Friday afternoon if they have too much stock. I don't know how common it is, but it has happened to me twice and it makes my temptation to eat too many baked goods even stronger.

I'm not going to be the guy who pops into the replies of everyone who doesn't add essential ALT text to images on social media, but I will do that with progressive politician/party who really should know better, especially considering they probably have paid staffers managing their social media.
