  I may not have gotten dressed yet but I think I did just coach a friend out of writers’ block?

  On one hand, I enjoy petting cats who have the run of my very quiet neighborhood. On the other hand, we are literally in a migratory bird sanctuary. On the other other hand, the migratory bird sanctuary also shares space with a working industrial harbor.

  It’s opening night of the musical theater production I’m playing in the pit for, and I have to say that playing in a pit orchestra is a unique and joyful experience, if a sweaty and ultimately unglamorous one.

  On my way cycling to The Pit, a car passed me and the two school-aged kids in the back seat singsonged something unintelligible and gave me gap toothed smiles and double thumbs up. I don’t know if it was for stopping to let someone use a crosswalk or general encouragement but I’ll take it!

  Today in “why are men”: one got angry with me just now on the bike path for signaling a right turn with my right hand. The worst part was the continued lecture as he passed me, with demonstrations about how to do it”correctly”, and when I verbally took issue with him, he made the universal signal for “blah blah blah” over his shoulder. PSA to men: SHIT LIKE THIS IS WHY WE HATE YOU.

  I’m certain that the high-profile tech blogger, whose mainstream industry opinions I have been reading for 25 years, does not need help with reach or engagement. I’m also certain that he experiences racism on the daily, here there and everywhere. It seems to me like people want to choose one of these things to be true but I think they are both true.

  @anna this is terrible, I’m so sorry. None of this went how it any person would need it to go.

  This nerd really likes the sinking fish food, even though it’s meant for the bottom feeders.
