Lowell library had some great art. Especially liked this one in the meeting room, LEE'S SURRENDER AT APPOMATTOX, which was a curved mural. Lowell don't forget what we do with traitors and slavers.

A cyclist was in an accident in Lowell the other day and all the Reddit comments are about how horrible teenagers on electric motorbikes are. So now I'm extra angry and biking around safely but confidently taking the lane as my own personal act of resistance.

At the park now!!!

Oops I checked the thread and found out... the article doesn't even say who was at fault! Just that the rider was injured and the cause is under investigation.

So unfortunately I'm back on my bullshit and gonna bike EVEN HARDER around town today

The Lowell Sun has an article about someone getting injured on an electric motorbike so I needed to post 'please don't kill me on my class 2 ebike, and please know the difference between legal e-bikes and motorbikes as well as the laws that already exist' on Reddit this morning

We spent some time in the library yesterday and I got these pictures of Merlin.

The really adorable thing is that in both photos, he's hiding behind books that feature his namesake, the wizard Merlin from Arthurian legend.

Such a cute goober...

My wife got some migraine glasses that block bad wavelengths that can cause migraines. She's been using them for a while but got some new ones with cute frames. She let me try 'em on, and...

I kinda like the look 🩷😙🩵

Uh oh I may have gotten myself in trouble. Someone made a post about how they were so excited to be putting 🌟NEW CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT🌟 in the center and asked for feedback so I decided to make a thoughtful but pointed post asking 'is this gonna have anything for locals or just investors'

Here's the chili recipe by the way -- one of the first things I learned to cook and helped me realize 'ok I can actually feed myself and survive in the world'. You can use cans of beans but dried is cheaper. (From 'Help my apartment has a kitchen', a great book for making food to feed yourself)

Making kidney beans 'from scratch' (soak dried beans and boil) and making a bunch of veggie chili so I have some cheap, healthy, tasty food to shovel into my mouth for the next few days. Because tomorrow I'm getting surgery! (It should be a minor procedure, but they still gotta knock me out.)

Had a pretty busy day so far!

Started THE LEAVES
Took a break
Texted a friend and ended up meeting up at the cafe
Came home, finished tea while bringing coffee to my wife, talked a bit
Finished THE LEAVES... in front, at least
Made a fuzzy bug friend!!!
Made Mac and cheese for lunch!

In addition to serving the mafia I am also becoming an unpaid research assistant for a sketchy scientific research project.

Why do I keep getting forced into servitude by cute but intense girls?

Started playing the new Pokémon game. So far I've gotten off the train, told that this is the most amazing city in the world, had my bag stolen, gotten caught in the Night Purge Zone, got put up in a hotel by a random girl & now I'm being pressed into servitude as a goon for her family

I went to Hive Public Market @hivepublicmarket.bsky.social in Lowell today! They're still moving in but they're open for business, and it is definitely a great offbeat vibe. Really looking forward to seeing it grow and build some 'buzz'!

IM COLD ° IM DELICIOUS ° SHAKE ME

Hannafords brand apple cider is surprisingly forward... but it ain't wrong...

Saw art today at Western Ave Studios in Lowell! Went with my mom and she had a great time! Got myself a new bracelet -- it's RED!

There's a public market downtown too but I need to recharge and have lunch. So I'm home now!

Today was not bad. I looked cute, had therapy, finished my big tasks for work (write a script so our coworker can run his experiment, and prep slides for tomorrow), and got to play with clay at ceramic class and saw friends at the makerspace!

But man, the mood at work is GRIM

This spotlight story is both horrifying and predictable; I remember hearing NPR report on this months ago and thinking 'WHY AREN'T YOU CHECKING YOUR SOURCE ON THIS'

But I had to point out the pull quote they got from a dad just trashing his own son for being a dumbass. Not hatefully - kid just dumb

Anyways just a reminder you can cancel paramount plus if you still have it, AND you get to write them a message telling them why!

Sign of vanity: I can style my hair so one or two locks hang down in front like an anime character and I love how cute I look.

We started feeding Merlin with a slow feeder because he always eats too fast and throws up.

We were worried he wouldn't be able to figure it out, but he seemed to be eating his food.

Today he has embraced chaos.

Good morning from Merlin

He still eepy
