Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

Open Source Organizations Join the conversation

We've heard people like Starter Packs, so we just begun putting one together for open source organizations. It could be an OSPO like us, a Foundation that supports projects and the ecosystem or accounts for OSS events.

Take a look and tell us who else should be there.

As always, it was an honor to speak on a deeply personal topic at #Monktoberfest. Thank you for having me πŸ’œ

CW in the talk.

I wonder if tizanidine does the same thing. Baclofen doesn't cut it for me.

I'm sold already! I just need a safe way to get started.

My bad, I was thinking of the one written in the 70s anyway.

The one written in the 50s?

Lead tips probably wouldn't hurt either.

Put it in my mouth? Don't?

I dunno! I grew up eating off of lead paint covered plates!

I really want to get into stained glass but the place in Seattle that runs workshops has had a closed waitlist since before COVID.

I know how to solder, but I'd love to learn glass cutting technique as I'm so good at injuring myself.

Part 1: My Life Is a Lie How a Broken Benchmark Quietly Broke America

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

One of the best things about quitting my job is getting to curl up with a @tkingfisher.com book on a Tuesday entirely guilt-free πŸ“š

Link getting suspended may be the last straw for me here.

A red apple with a heart-shaped patch of yellow-green that blurs at the lower edge. If you squint it looks like the Heartbleed logo.

Went apple picking today. You never know where you’ll find unpatched OpenSSL in the wild.

Time to renew energy for the year with some of my favorite people at #Monktoberfest!

On my way to Portland today, and will hopefully feel up for the boat cruise on Wednesday.

Yup. I found a lot of peace once I accepted that.

Can your stylohyoid ligaments grow back once removed?

Intuition says no, but that same intuition says they shouldn't have turned into bone in the first place.

I swear that logic is on a smoke break every time questions about my body come up.

We are so beyond β€œwe have to run anti-choice Democrats” in order to win.

We’re fighting fetal viability conditions now tyvm. Not the right to abortion in the first fucking place.

Good news! English is full of holes and therefore consistency is nigh impossible.

Make your own rules. Be linguistically ungovernable.
