A glowing lantern with an emerald cut out

Part of my weekend included a little glowforge project, a little lantern! Bonus points if you can guess the band it’s associated with!

Wednesday Addams with caption “barely restrained seething”

Little reminder that I have a website with a massive archive of artwork, links to all my stuff, an RSS feed, and an email newsletter!

David lynch in sunglasses says “what a great time to be alive if you love theater of the absurd”

Yeah, I got 8% on my book! Definitely not Rolling In It ™ but it’s honest work!

Incredible

Want to short-circuit a gaslighter? Here’s how.

PS: You’ll see a few videos about this from me, it’s a big biiiig topic.

Someone once told me every food is trying to be a dumpling and I really never forgot it

Not complying will result in sanctions. And those get disgusting real fast.

So, don’t keep things around that can be used against you. Because believe me, they absolutely can and will.

Discovery can’t force the service provider to break end-to-end encryption, but if you have the ability to access or decrypt the chats, a court can compel you to produce them. The usual workaround is device-level access, exports, or screenshots.

Introducing Signal Secure Backups In the past, if you broke or lost your phone, your Signal message history was gone. This has been a challenge for people whose most important conversations happen on Signal. Think family photos, sweet...

This is really neat, and I think they solved the problem in a cool way.

For me, I don’t want my chats backed up to an external server. Especially anything that I couldn’t self host.

Going through a vicious legal discovery process really changed all this for me. #infosec #privacy

I will absolutely not hesitate to join a suit if they steal We Need to Talk. It didn’t appear to be in the below suit given that it was released this year, but I’m keeping an eye out.

Submitted a short horror story I’ve worked on for a few months to @3lobedmag.com! It’s cosmic horror with maternal trauma, and includes tentacles and other requisite gross but very fun stuff.

I wonder if this is an analogue of their worldview which would…kinda track with everything going on lately

I submitted a story! Love what you all do <3

hornet photo study

Two dogs laying on the floor and cuddling. One a large German shepherd, the other a medium size boxer mix. The medium size dog thinks she can take the larger one. She cannot.

Hey the world can really suck sometimes but I did download Hollow Knight Silksong last night and it’s incredible. Also, my dogs are cute

Is the chat getting out of hand? Here are some ways to stop it from spiraling.

Unless you’re a pastor at a mega church I guess? Lol

I once used to be a photographer for hire and had that type ask me to shoot their wedding for them. “As a ministry.” Which meant free. To…glorify Jesus somehow?

I love these photos. I did a small series on spirit photography a while back! joshuagraves.me/making/art/s...

Ooooh passive aggressiveness at work is my favorite topic to talk about. Here’s (just a few ways on) how to handle it.

#weneedtotalk #communicationskills

It is, but it’s so fun. I enjoyed seeing all the others I’d fought there. (And one Animal I’d killed)

An update: I had some docker remnants in my Library folder (com.docker), apparently rsync was going to copy over 1tb of…nothing? I removed that.

…yeah. :/

I’m very interested to see the design response. Like, you want to go this route? Fine. We’re gonna go back to OS 9.

Related, you ever read this? It’s a good allegory. croissanthology.com/earring

It’s also broader reworking of my threat model after being stalked last year.

I discovered a tracking device in my furniture after moving out, learned that someone had broken into my home and accessed my computer, in addition to other things.

So I’m just redoing everything basically.
