- Sourdough starter, day 1. T55 (all-purpose) flour. Let's do this.
- I just got notified that my old LiveJournal turned 23 years old today. Feels like a dozen lifetimes ago that I used to hang out there!
- It's been an unusually cold and wet winter so far in Porto, but thank goodness, NO ICE. ⛔️🧊
- All that desk space, and she needs to lie down on my tablet. 😸
- I hate it when the last two numbers I need to complete in sudoku are 6 and 7.
- Gently dying at these guys in my Portuguese class. Yes, the last one took the same copied answer, but he used a translator to turn it into English. (All of his answers have been in English so far, which is baffling enough, but this copying is a new thing as of the unit we started last week.)
- Hot take: traditional Thanksgiving foods are awful, that's why most people can only bring themselves to cook and eat them once a year.
- Will these powdery friends make it through 3 different TSA checkpoints? Only time will tell.
- WTF, USA? I am 100% going to lose this lid.
- Happy Daylight Saving Time (USA) to those who celebrate!
- Happy Daylight Saving Time (PT) to those who celebrate!
- I don't know if the NYC mayoral candidate is Sliwa or Silwa, feels like on here it's 50/50 how it's spelled. But 100% of the time, at first I think they're talking about Jojo Siwa.
- Wordle 1,558 2/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 A very unexpected result this morning!
- Happy first day of autumn! And, you know, a few other holidays too. 😀
- Yeah, metro train. Sometimes I feel that way too.
- When I'm kerning a font, I add in words that have the letter pairs I need so I can see how they look among other text. Sometimes, a fascinating story develops.
- I hate to say it, but the Rijksmuseum smells like a thrift store.
- Cell data is back online after 9 hours in Porto, but power is still out at our place. What a weird day.
- It's a little more than a DONK; it's a DONKO! 😆 @ki11ersix.bsky.social
- Gray & white on gray & white camouflage. (Catmouflage?) Glad she's in the corner where we don't walk!
- Are these hamburger buns tiny? Or is the novelty chocolate Euro (included for scale) gigantic? Or maybe somewhere in between?
- WTF even is this mascot? It's almost as horrifying as the old Quiznos spongmonkeys.
- Today I learned: if Portuguese drivers see a puddle next to the sidewalk, they will steer wide to avoid splashing you. So very un-American!
- If you see this, post a bridge from your gallery.
- If you see this, post a bridge from your gallery. #manzanar
- Paint me like your French girls.
- All hail the birthday girl: Flapjack turns 10 today!
- Strong disagree.
- $325/month in 1994 for a really roomy studio at 5th and Mercer in downtown Seattle, right across the street from Seattle Center. Crappy old building, but the location couldn't be beat.
- Does anyone these days use the word WAND to refer to just a stick you can use for pointing at things? Or is it now always paired with the word MAGIC?
- Some real nice hacking coughs on the metro today. Glad I still mask up every ride. 😷
- I kind of made a Christmas tree with today's Wordle. Merry NYT Gamesmas!
- Saw this restaurant while walking to the Christmas market the other day, thought immediately of @funnygodmother.bsky.social . 'Tis the season for IP infringement! 😆
- Whamageddon: lost. 😂
- My window kumquats are ripening! 🍋🌿❗️
- Hoping @hankgreen.bsky.social does today's amazing Connections in a video. I'm sure some people hated it, but I looooved it.
- Had to puzzle over which was which here.
- When you put a Burger King into a classic old building that used to have a historic café, you keep the tiled walls!
- LET’S FUCKIN GOOOOO DECEMBER
- When an ordinary trip to the mall makes you think of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and his fight against tuberculosis.

- Baaahhhh! Went looking for Wicked showtimes tomorrow, and discovered that Portugal doesn’t get it until December 5. At least it can’t really be spoiled for me. 😄
- I don't know what a lot of these things mean, but I'm one of The Olds. Promo for my new font, DORKY LAUGH! missymeyer.com/dorky-laugh
- Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now: - Casino dealer - Bookkeeper - Improv comedian - Paralegal - Game show host at Disney World - Pizza chef - Camp counselor - Radio ad traffic coordinator - Music act and playlist research (the "dirty word police")
- Sometimes, when things feel grim and hopeless in the world, you need to go to the Lindt store for a little comfort.
