Steeking a sweater for the first time today. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine.

Take some fucking control over your experience.

The filters work pretty damn well here.

If there are topics you don’t want to see… mute them

Folks always saying shit you don’t like… block em.

Unhappy with the topics being discussed … start new ones

I’m almost through a sweater-a-month knitting class and of the ten I’ve finished so far, this one feels the most like an achievement. Also, it’s super warm and super soft because it’s a merino/baby alpaca yarn.

The life of a French fence must be exhausting, one day it's a load of snails that like 4 restaurants worldwide even want, the next it's the crown jewels of a country that hasn't existed for 400 years, probably tomorrow it's a thousand baguette baskets carefully handmade from Aquitanian reeds

HEY, if you're working on your first novel and you're home for Thanksgiving, do NOT tell people what it's about. Make up a decoy novel (Psychic nun who fights crime with martial arts!) and let them be condescending about that one instead.

I've had too many students' novels "ruined" over holidays.

From playing around at a collage meetup last week. I found a multi-page advertisement depicting what looked like employee badge photos and turned three of them into something odd.

Also, the best pie is coconut cream but like it has to be quality coconut cream pie made by someone who gets coconut cream pie and the only person I will share this pie with is my dad because everyone else I know is “I guess I’ll have a piece” and no, I guess you will not.

My only deeply opinionated on the record food take of the day is WTF IS THIS NONSENSE? Someone signed off on this and I would like to have a few words with them outside about it.

A couple of weeks ago I became a person who, after years of fervent devotion to an unreasonable quantity of milk in my coffee, takes it black and everything about it is uneventful except this:

Why does coffee have to be so goddamned hot?

All I’m going to say on the matter is make sure there is a plunger next to every toilet.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I feel like we need this

Having lived over half a century without cooking a turkey I see no point in starting now. For the second time, we are having a cheese plate Thanksgiving. Absolutely nothing to cook although I might do a quick pickled veggie.

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).

If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water

Lots of options!

Also, a call for the sounds of making a collage. We are creating a soundtrack that will play in the gallery during Collage-O-Rama 2026 in Seattle. The mission briefing includes tips for getting a good recording without any fanciness.

CALL FOR ART: I am organizing an exhibition and publication devoted to Confrontage, a style of collage art. Although it sounds a lot like confrontation, the basis and intent of the work is more about matchmaking and connection. Also, no entry fee. Deadlines are in March 2026.

When I got laid off from my corporate job in the aughts, I walked out the door with my $$$$ Humanscale chair. I made eye contact with every person I passed and no one said a word.

My only regret was not swapping it for one with a headrest first.
it's some kind of journalistic malpractice to tell people an areon going for 30% off of $1600 is a meaningful "discount". you're supposed to get one from a shady facebook marketplace guy for $150 at most

Had a weekend art and yarn excursion to Portland and every time I stepped out of the elevator to head to my room, this is what I faced. Startled me the night I returned after what was probably too many mezcal negronis with one of my favorite people.

My Thanksgiving cacti are starting to show off and may bloom more than I have ever seen in the 13 years I’ve had them. I had to move them because of house repairs and they love their new location too much to move back.

Bookmark it, read it, forward it to everybody.
I wrote this piece because I only learned about pelvic floors a few years ago, despite having had one all my life. And then it turned out to be where I store all my issues. And then that turned out to be true for a lot of people www.wired.com/story/the-pe...
The Pelvic Floor Is a Problem
Everyone’s suddenly obsessed with the pelvic floor—physical therapists, MAHA influencers, me. Could this deeply misunderstood body part really be the seat of so much modern dysfunction?

There's a bunch of new data on the Art Book Fair / Zine Fest Sales Transparency form that I started. Check it out and add your own if you're a publisher. It's evolving nicely and could become a useful tool for publishers and organizers of these events.

Also, gentle reminder it’s incredibly easy to become a heroic badass: just go meet your neighbors and look for the needs in your community

This is also a handy thing to consider getting for your car if it actually has a spare tire.
