Really enjoyed editing this @punkademic.bsky.social piece for @pghcitypaper.com about two of our city's analog repair shops.
In a digital world, Pittsburgh is an analog paradise
At places like Galaxie Electronics and Bernie's Photo Center, young people are relearning the joys of vinyl, film, and slowing down.

I passed my tests so today is my first day schlepping patients all by myself. Naturally, every bit of information I’ve been retaining for the past two weeks is falling out of my head when I need it. 🥴

Careful out there, yinz. Lots of icy patches and the wind is blowing vehicles around.

It shouldn’t take an hour from when I leave work in Oakland to get to my parking lot next to the Hot Metal Bridge via hospital shuttle. I got home (again) 12 hours after I left this morning.

Less than a hour to go. Today has been a *LOT*

Oh goody. Woken up by the cat at 2:30am mid-migraine and it still hasn’t checked down. I can’t wait to deal with early rush hour in the dark with all of those headlights blaring at me.

Time to do the shoulder PT home exercises that will hopefully keep me from injuring myself at work this week since the book learning is done. From here on out, it’s nonstop schlepping patients (and constantly cleaning equipment bigger than me).

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Heeeeey! It’s finally above freezing! Maybe we can finally de-ice our walk without chemicals or an ice pick today.

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked.
