The company I have an olive oil subscription from (because I am the kind of food dweeb who has an olive oil subscription) prints their labels on magnets and use pretty public domain art, which they encourage people to keep. Seeing them on my fridge makes me so happy. 🥹

Rainy and cold? Perfect weather to wear one of my favorite pairs of boots. ❤️

I also made some Impulsive Financial Decisions at Dandelion Chocolate, because I am but a mortal man and cannot resist the call of Fancy Little Treats.

(Not pictured: the rose macarons from Miette that I devoured while waiting for my train home.)

I had a work event that took me over to the Ferry Building today, which is always such a treat to visit. God, what a gorgeous piece of architecture.

Happy book birthday to Spread Me! I started reading it on my ride to work this morning and it is (and I mean this as the highest of praise) deeply unsettling. 😄

From my afternoon walk a few days ago. 💛 #bloomscrolling

BayCon, we are in you! It’s so good to be home. 🖤

Finally adding some stickers to my iPad case (because I am a Millennial with commitment issues). Now it’ll be easier to spot when I put it down on the (also black) card table between my desk and my partner’s desk. 😄

Your moment of zen, featuring the roses in our front yard looking particularly lovely. 🥰

Happy book birthday to The River Has Roots!! I’ve been really looking forward to this one and can’t wait to get into it on my ride to work. 🥰

Digging the happy-accident pattern mixing that my newest tattoo creates with this shirt. 😄

Matching fidget toys for me and one of my partners, from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com! Our other nesting partner loved the lil’ freebies that were included in the order too. 😄 Desk toys for the whole polycule!

(Well, the parts of it who all live together, at least.)

The ultimate NorCal fashion statement: Birks and banana slug socks. 😄

In lieu of doomscrolling (...much), I've fallen down the rabbit hole of forbidden Blender knowledge and have been learning to make mods for FFXIV instead. CATBOY DRESSUP TIME LET'S GOOOO.

I’m just one guy. I can’t fix all the ills of the world, much as I wish I could. But I *can* make sure my people are fed, and their dietary needs are accommodated as best I can, and that’s not nothing.

Rolling up fashionably late to the year-in-review conversations with my reading list from 2024! I don’t do anything fancy with Goodreads or Storygraph or anything (I just have lists in Google Keep), but I do like having a record of what I was reading and when.
