Just want to grow my little garden & ferment some foraged wines, sew some comfy clothes & make my cozy ... zines. 🥴 // From Central PA to Seattle by way of 1990s internet. // Kampai! 🍶
I don't know if this is something for Ken Burns, but i am still here pounding the table demanding my documentary about the seamstresses of NASA.
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

For the "have a delicious nonalcoholic beverage option for your holiday parties" discourse (don't want to get into a quote post of a quote post &c.), i would like to add — homemade ginger ale impresses the hell out of people. It is WAY more interesting than store-bought. Guests will be FASCINATED.

We've long planned for a backyard shed for our scooters. Problem: found the *perfect* design years ago by a local guy who no longer builds them. I keep looking at this thinking, "FiL is an engineer, he can whip one up!" Then i remember the last rocket engineer i worked with and i ... reconsider. 🤣

Come for the advice about hooking up a TV antenna, stay for the buttplug joke.
I’m just thinking of this because I’m watching football while not paying anybody a penny: Do Americans know that you can (still!) watch HD digital broadcasts of all the major networks over the air, for free, complete with programming guide data, just by hooking up an antenna to your TV?

Picked up some books at a local bookstore today, and just crying, *begging* booksellers to please stop placing bookmarks inside my purchase without asking. I have so many bookmarks already, SO. MANY.

Orientation today as the new comms asst for a letterpress nonprofit. Tomorrow, visit with former papermaking teacher to discuss taking some of her equipment. And this is all lovely, hate to look gift horses in mouths &c., but a fulltime job with health insurance & retirement plan would pay my bills.

Gettin' the fam to pool our money together to buy my mother-in-law a Segway for Christmas so she can go out protesting in a way that won't cause her wonky heart to freak out.

News alert email from local paper: "Seattle Times new publisher announced"
Why is this worth an email alert? We all know it's just another Blethen. We know this for many reasons, including that i'm pretty sure there was an article when the now-former publisher announced his retirement.

In a just world, Trump calling a reporter "Piggy" is from a Muppet film, and the reporter replies, "It's MISS Piggy, hiiiiiYAH!" and kicks him into the sun.

As possibly the last person in the world to actually own ink canisters for a mimeograph, congrats to me for also being the last person in the world to learn that you Do Not Store Them On Their Sides. 🤦♂️

Doing our semi-annual deep clean of the kitchen, and i remain LIVID about the countertops. WHO decided on this 12"-square tile with grout??? Did they ever try to clean it, even just once?!?!

I am making pie for a community event tomorrow and am very nervous about it. Also disappointed in myself for not doing the crust by hand, but I have limited brain today
