Music festival this weekend, so naturally I made myself an app that finds the Apple Music Essentials playlist for every artist on the lineup and combines them into one. Built entirely in @BitRigApp@mastodon.social... from the code to the App Store screenshots to the App Review submission. 🚀

I’m not proud of my country (quite the opposite.) But I am so, so proud of my state! And I love that our new state flag has become a symbol against fascism. So. It’s a 4th of July manicure. But make it Minnesota flag colors.

Not me, watching an ant singled out from the recent ant infestation that blessed my kitchen climbing over the diatomaceous earth, yelling “die motherfucker!”

I made an appointment with a new eye doctor based entirely on proximity and good reviews. Imagine my delight to arrive and find the window covered in anti-ICE signage!

I’m a pro at two-handed fair isle knitting. I’m a pro at intarsia. But the Project Hail Mary sweater requires two-handed fair isle WITHIN intarsia… on the purl side. Pardon me while I turn my brain inside out and desperately try to find my bobbins.

I’m at a coffee shop next to two 25-ish men talking loudly about being junior associates at some law firm 🤮 But I just tuned into their conversation and they’re talking about how a woman they know is experiencing pay inequity and how fucked up it is and what they’re going to do to fix it. 🥹

There’s this historic movie theater in my neighborhood. Today when I saw “Michael” was playing it was like that scene in Field of Dreams when Ray sees The Godfather is showing and finds out he’s gone back in time. Then I realized it’s the Michael Jackson film, not the terrible John Travolta movie.

I just watched Hamnet and, as an obsessive bibliophile, I feel realllllll guilty that I liked it better than the book.

The 12 pound dog who talks a big game about what he’d do to that moose if he caught it sure changes his tune the minute there’s lightning.

I’m not a ballistics type of person, but shooting the “apple cannon” at old demo derby cars and watching gnarly, misshapen apples explode was way more fun than I expected.

I went to dinner with friends tonight and we had lively conversation. But let me tell you how quickly we fell silent when we heard a man at the table next to us say, “so yeah I was a misogynist back when I was in the cult.” All XP transferred to the eavesdropping skill.

A local weatherman who I IDOLIZE (truly… I take off work to see him speak on Senior Citizen’s Day at the State Fair every year… yes really) is retiring tomorrow. He wrote up a very wholesome career retrospective. I am so sad 🥺 https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/04/29/thank-you-minnesota

I firmly believe that the English language is fluid and that those who insist on its stagnancy are generally privileged. I read and loved “Word By Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries.” But what the fuck is going on with “winningest.”

I had a dream that my carryon was stolen at an airport by a gang of organized criminals. I tracked it down so persistently using FindMy that the gang leader, who happened to be a young Forest Whitaker, offered me a job. I woke up feeling extra badass this morning.
