Oh hey 👋🏼 didn't see you come in.

Take a seat. Have some tea. I'm sure we have something in common.

I'm a designer, developer, and a mediocre ceramic artist trying to be a better ceramic artist. I love to lift heavy things, talk about my GR86, read fantasy, and play video games.

What about you?
I took on a tiny client who has a site in Wix. They don’t have the budget to migrate it.

The platform is convoluted and terrible to use. It’s cemented in my mind as the worst website builder. Even Squarespace is better.

I’m considering offering free migration so I never have to touch it again.

I will absolutely eat anything Travis Baldree makes. I’m so glad we get more of these books.
Oh, hi there! It's cover reveal day for Brigands & Breadknives, with art yet again by the amazing @emberwickart.bsky.social-
I love it so ❤️

I’m on my fourth semester of ceramics and so stoked about my progress. Two years ago, I couldn’t center to save my life. Now I’ve thrown, trimmed, and added pulled handles to six mugs in the span of 3 classes! It’s so gratifying to have a physical hobby to give my brain a break from screens.

I’m at that stage in my app dev where all I do is work on it and if I’m not working on it I want to be working on it.

But I know that working steady is better than working obsessively (learned that lesson!).

I guess that means it’s time to log off and play Skyrim for the night. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #buildinpublic

My favorite thing to come out of the Parkinson’s UK rebrand is the fact that Red Stone created a custom typeface called Parkinsans! ParkinSANS! And it’s available on Google fonts. The brand is cool too. But I’m really here for the puns.

Do you ever use a tool that’s so nice it actually brings you joy?

I’m building an app to manage fiscal sponsorships and am moving the DB to Supabase. It’s just so easy to use, has every feature I could possibly need, and even looks nice! It makes migrating so much more pleasant. #buildinpublic

Bob Ross would crush me. And I would just whisper to myself “no mistakes just happy accidents no mistakes just happy accidents” over and over.
If they looked you square in the eye and said without a hint of humor or irony “fuck you, I will never respect you”, which celebrity would it hurt the most to hear it from?
