The problem with the fact that I write poetry (so sorry) is that I am not a musician, but my favorite poets are lyricists

I favor song lyrics over other forms of poetry, but I cannot write music and I don't sing anymore and I even stopped guitar b/c I have no time

What are standout love songs (indie/rock/folk-rock/punk) that have been written by someone over the age of 40?

Sometimes I wonder if my brain is permanently wired for late adolescence feelings

Conveniently I came out as nonbinary a few years ago and ditched some of my more femme attire so I was able to gift @colin my girly skirts and jewelry

I wish we were the same shoe size

I made it home, after a lovely series of conferences in Europe. Good to see many of you in person.

At the end of my talks, I announced (with a broken qr code) that I'm working on a #CSS course: Designing with Code. Subscribe for updates if you're interested!

I'm on here trying to talk myself out of it

but alas I think I've further convinced myself to have more caffeine

2025-06-11

I am not gonna get through this Wednesday without at least a tiny second dose of caffeine

I understand that this, for me, is a bad move

I was on a podcast talking about the formation of my non-traditional web dev business that serves nonprofits. It's boring and if you have insomnia, you're welcome.

What I couldn't talk about here is the "queering of the biz model" stuff that I think about a lot. Hopefully someday I can talk about that somewhere.

(On YouTube, there was no background blur, so evidenced there is my family's book hoarding problem.)
