Kristi Cummings's first ceremony as a Humanist Celebrant was for a college friend, legalizing a partnership of nearly 20 years just days after marriage equality became a reality in the U.S.

I find that most people accept our goals of compassion and reason. Once in a while, couples are astounded to find that they are not alone, but welcome in a community of like-minded people.

Hey, I'm starting that same page!

I spent some time this afternoon fixing some of my stickers to some "Magnetic Adhesive Sheet" so I can put them on the fridge and my car.

Also, I hadn't scanned and posted this since it's been done! And, I don't think you spotted the change I'd made 😀

Instagram removed this comic we made after Unilever reported it because corporations hate fun.

Doctor: You shouldn't clean out your ears with Q-tips.
Me: Yeah obviously, anyone who does that is an idiot.
In my head: Except me. I clean my ears with Q-tips the smart way

Before I went to the mailbox, he said "Take a picture of something that made you smile".

When I sorted the mail, I came across this and immediately developed a cheesy smile, so I took a picture.

@freshprintsdesign.bsky.social came through *again* with the good feels. 😁

Heart Mountain

4-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1: We haven’t checked in on the geology department for a while. I wonder if they’re doing okay. (2) PERSON 2 with ponytail: I’ll go see what they’re up to. (3) [Person 2 opens door to room where a person is gesturing at a projector screen and explaining to two other people] PERSON 3: 49 million years ago, Heart Mountain, Wyoming slid sideways 15 miles like a giant stone hovercraft. (4) PERSON 2 [returning to Person 1]: ...They’re not okay. OFF-PANEL PERSON: Hey, *you* come up with a better explanation!

I like the nod to F-Droid, whenever I need something, I check there first, most times there is something comparable, and some times better than in the other stores.

I think that losing your mind is what *exactly* what "they" want!

"They" being those who've already lost their minds, and think someone who forms their own opinion is someone to be afraid of, *especially* if it doesn't fit their narrative.

So now I'm hunting for something to aggregate the various podcasts I listen to, I *really* don't want to have to install half a dozen apps.

Recommendations are welcome!

This is probably the last solely Spotify analysis, because I'm *seriously* thinking that #BoycottSpotify should be standard going forward having discovered #tidal last night and finding there were <50 tracks that couldn't be imported. So I'm thinking it might actually be a viable option!
