The unrepentant bleppy face of a dog who, without fail, steals the warm spot I've left behind on the sofa within like three seconds of me standing up.

Not just a global issue but a local one too. A local one... almost everywhere.

I don't want to withdraw any of our children from sec [sic] education lessons.

However they're spelled, they're a great idea, and I'm grateful to live in a part of the world where their existence isn't the target of religious politics.

But if I can withdraw consent to receiving emails about sex education IN COMIC SANS then that'd be great, thanks.

Shower thought for the morning was: why is cream cheese spread 'Philadelphia' called that? Is it from Philadelphia? (My box isn't, of course: it came from Ireland.)

Nope, it turns out that it was originally invented in New York in the 19th century and named for Philadelphia because Philadelphia, PA was at that point famous for its dairy industry. Just another bit of parasitic branding leveraging a borrowed association, like the Quaker Oats guy or the Rolls Razor. Now I'm wondering how many other examples I can find!

My contribution to the long-standing British tradition of photographing dogs at polling stations. Don't forget to vote, folks!

Where do you draw the line for only using #foss apps? I really want to use #Obsidian for markdown notes that can sync with iPhone but want a FOSS alternative. None of them meet all my requirements though sadly.

In preparation for Family D&D Night (and with thanks to my earlier guide to splicing maps together!), I've finally completed an expanded "overworld" map for our game world. So far, the kids have mostly hung around on the North coast of the Central Sea, but they're picked up a hook that may take them all the way across to the other side... and beyond?

Banana for scale.

(If your GMing for kids, you probably already know this, but "feelies" go a long way. All the maps. All the scrolls. Maybe even some props. Go all in. They love it.)

"Sometimes we feel like a quiet stream, flowing gently within.
Then suddenly, the current quickens, pulling us into a whirlpool with no end in sight.
But in time, we always return to that stream.
With patience, and trust in the current inside us, carried by the streams around us."

Only because I couldn't find one that worked the way I wanted it to, I wrote Yet Another Note Making App. Entirely CLI. It may work for you too.

Apparently Automattic are laying off around one in six of their workforce. And I'm one of the unlucky ones.

Anybody remote hiring for a UK-based full-stack web developer (in a world that doesn't seem to believe that full-stack developers exist anymore) with 25+ years professional experience, specialising in PHP, Ruby, JS, HTML, CSS, devops, and about 50% of CMSes you've ever heard of (and probably some you haven't)... with a flair for security, accessibility, standards-compliance, performance, and DexEx?

I ordered takeout from Auntie's Kitchen (butter chicken, naan, and kheer). It came with this handwritten note:

"Each day comes bearing its gifts. Untie the ribbon. No matter how bad of a day you are having, I guarantee you there is still something positive about it. We just have to find that positive and focus on that. Life will be that much better then! Have a wonderful day! Lots of love!!!"

FWIW, I was not having a bad day. This note is strange and sweet.

The food was good. #note #letters #takeout
