As some of you may recall, it was this October that I decided to relaunch my website and try to give the pottery a go.

A month later, our postal service decided to strike. Things were going well till then, but today I accept the fact any holiday sales are lost, and we won't be getting our Christmas box from home.

If you can boost this post and follow so that more people can see my work, it'd mean a lot at this stressful time.

Lots of people are pointing to various small mistakes that allegedly were made by Kamala Harris.

But this misses a much bigger problem: Democrats should not have to run flawless campaigns in order to win.

Republicans have a lot more room for error because their larger strategy is superior.

Air Canada has this cool system now where there are no human employees at the check in counter at all, and instead you register your baggage with a little touch screen and place it on a conveyor belt, and then the touch screen displays an error, and there's nothing you can do because there are no fucking human employees present to deal with it

Every year, I write a remembrance on the anniversary of this date. This year, I went a little deeper, and shared what I wish I could tell everyone who was too young to remember the day. What was it _actually_ like to be in NYC on that day? Without the constructed, contrived myth that's arisen in the years since. anildash.com/2024/09/11/23-wha

@anildash I was on top of the towers a few weeks prior to the 11th. I'd actually never heard of them until then (Irish tourist). Will never forgot how I felt watching the news at home that day a few weeks later. An incredibly powerful piece, thank you for sharing it.

Don't be afraid of getting old.
Let it liberate you.
Let your hair grow long and wild.
Let your talons and fangs do the same.
Grow antlers if it suits you.
Become the moss covered monstrosity you were always meant to be.

Http needs a status code for grudging acceptance. We have 202 Accepted. We need 222 Tolerated.

For when the client is doing it wrong, but you've decided to be the bigger person and deal with it anyway.
