This was a nice surprise to get in the mail today, as I pre-ordered it months ago and thought it was coming in June 😅 I love so much the way @nikostratis.com writes about music; I've really been looking forward to this book.

Hardcover edition of The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman by Niko Stratis, laying on a wooden table.

I keep seeing people say they want to know they are interacting with a human, and not a bot, ignoring that some of the biggest disinfo spreaders and trolls online are consistently operating under their own real names

The blue check thing is about clout chasing and totally antithetical to the open web. Just because an identity can be "verified" doesn't mean the account can be _trusted_, but the two are often conflated when you start adding those indicators.

I was washing my hands at the kitchen sink, suddenly got dizzy, and that's when I realized I'd been holding my breath for no reason! I was thinking too hard and forgot to breathe!

So this is your reminder to take a few big slow deep breaths right now. And try not to forget to breathe.

I think my experiment failed, I can't get most of it out of the jar. 😂 Though I did get a couple little pieces to examine up close.

A large glass jar sitting on the counter. There are white crystals growing densely on the bottom and up the sides of the interior. It really looks like snow collecting on a window.

The same jar from above, so you can see the side without looking through the glass.

I'm holding up the same jar with one hand so I can show the view straight down into it. The crystals growing up the side have been removed, but the bottom is covered with a dense layer of crystal stuck at the bottom of the jar.

A little piece of homegrown crystal sitting on a black surface.

This is a WONDERFUL thread explaining alt text and why it's important!

Tyler, from the Internet @tylerfromtheinternet.com · Nov 22

Hi! You're seeing this because someone noticed you posting an image that doesn't contain alt text. This is not a scolding! You are loved! But everyone needs to be convinced using alt text is socially mandatory. (I sure had to be shown the way as well!) Would you mind reading this🧵 about it and why?

To be sure it's partially the black glass slate in my hand, but also it seems like sometimes I need to do a lap around the house tidying? Anxious behavior? Literally getting the house in order?

The time between the moment I decide "I'm going to get in the shower now" and the time I actually get in the shower is always 40-90 minutes somehow. Can someone explain this? A time scientist?

Agreed

Peanut butter and Superman, both American as apple pie.

Aww! I like picturing child Jon watching crystals grow around a castle.

I had to look this up because I didn't know of Superman Peanut Butter. The marketing says "At last, a peanut butter you can look up to." 🦸‍♂️

Superman Peanut Butter

Superman Peanut Butter was a brand of peanut butter that was sold in stores sometime around 1981, which was at the time Superfriends was in their sixth season on ABC. The brand included crunchy (or kr...

Supposed to give it seven days, so I have a little weird growing thing to observe in my home for the next week. Kind of like a pet rock maybe.

One good thing about today was learning that, despite living in the quagmire of violence we call America, I was not the only one who assumed the Cybertruck in front of the Trump hotel just spontaneously combusted. Took hours and a nap for it to occur to me that it could have been an intentional act.

And now, we wait

A large wide mouth glass jar, without a lid, sitting on my kitchen counter. It's filled with a clear but cloudy liquid, and there's a white dome shaped "seed stone" resting on the bottom, as well as some white powder that didn't fully dissolve in the liquid. Looks a bit like snow. Behind the jar, out of focus, you can see some of the rest of my kitchen.
