I wish I’d gotten into tattoos sooner in life. I got this feather on Friday. It has a lot of personal meaning and I absolutely love it. Tattoo art and application by www.instagram.com/xola.art who I will adore forever for being so talented

“Intersex” is the “I” in LGBTQIA. Learned a lot, watching this.

love your trans friends more than harry potter, it is easy

Don’t suppose I know anyone at Discord that can help me help a friend who got an illegitimate ban?

The gate agent just told us we have 192 days of Christmas shopping left and I was so upset I had to share it along to you all.

I am irrationally excited. I’ve wanted a new Stuntman for ages and assumed it’d never happen.

I saw an ad for a board game on Kickstarter today and thought “I don’t need that, I have enough that are similar” I’ve been feeling like a midlife crisis is imminent — is this it?? 🧐

I got my first tattoo today! It’s super nerdy and also has some fairly deep meaning for me beyond what I can get into on a social media post. So much appreciation for @xolasartstudio.bsky.social for such an amazing piece. 🥰

It's taken me ages but finally, put together _something_ of a mess of a personal website again. Also can't believe I didn't think to do this with opengraph / favicon stuff ages ago. briansinclair.dev

Whether slack and/or discord, the last few places I’ve worked had an ex-employees chat that we generally congregated in. This is the first time I’ve seen a news article written about one, though. #unprecedentedtimes #aitookmyjerb www.businessinsider.com/block-layoff...

sure is weird to try and hunt for a job when all <vague gestures> this is happening It's like a mental assault on every level and I've felt sore and tired for a few days now

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

It’s so weird to be part of layoffs that are like major tech news apparently and not like when it was Indeed, where it was just yet another layoff in tech. Weird to hear people debating it all and seeming to disregard the humanity of those cut.

Block was a really great place to work for the past four months. Unfortunately, I’m part of today’s 40% layoff. If you need an old hand at web stuff, who has staff software engineering experience at multiple international corporations, hit me up. ❤️

Relatedly, here is a tiny GoFundMe for rent relief for families in a mobile home park. They’re not asking for much. Please let’s get it fully funded.

No thanks, I have enough news for now

Love running a review of my Vim configuration and being told I have settings that have been unnecessary for like 20 years Then realizing I’ve used Vim for over half my lifetime

Me: dang, I can’t remember this key piece of info. Ugh. My brain: sorry, best I can do is this 90s commercial jingle Also Me: ooh, I can’t remember that awful person’s name anymore. That’s awesome. My brain: actually it’s <name> Why am I like this

I couldn’t remember my luggage combo but I forced it closed, knowing I could brute force my way in at the hotel. I started at 000, then 001, 002 etc This was the combo.

I need a better void to scream into, nothing I have is working well.

Fuser (a rhythm game from a few years ago) apparently still works well on the Switch 2! youtu.be/X-ABN67a-ak

I am walking down the street at 10pm in Hakone, in Japan. It is mostly dark and quiet, and I am alone. I feel so relaxed and peaceful, a small reprieve to myself at the end of a challenging day. My final destination of 7-11 awaits, where I will get supplies to soothe my child’s cold.

I started a new job today, and it's kind of amazing the level of comfort that brings. I'd been employed for 22 years straight (ignoring weekends between jobs) and losing mine in July was jarring. However, it also seems like it was maybe the best thing for me.

Friday 9/19 at 9AM Mountain Time I am giving out 20 gift cards to nora.jewelry to trans people who want some wearable art but can't afford to buy it for any reason. You're going to want to bookmark nora.jewelry/pages/we-wan... and set an alarm.

Nothing special, I do that too

- 1 jumper at a time - No somersaults Yeah. This is how you do it.

I don't suppose I know anyone who works at @discord.com? Genuinely interested in applying for discord.com/jobs/8058456... and would love to chat with someone about it.

Today is the first day that I’ve been unemployed without another job lined up since 2003. That’s a weird feeling.

I’ve made it through like … at least six or seven rounds of layoffs at various companies in my career. Never once laid off, somehow. Guess that streak had to end someday. Like today. If you need someone who’s been writing JS since the ‘90s and knows weird browser shit AND backend too, hit me up!

I’m here in pain from an unexpected medical procedure today that ended with six stitches and yet Somehow I’m like “I want to create a new personal website but have no idea what to do as a domain” At 1am

This is so good

13yo: I don't always understand your jokes, dad. They're bad. Me: Yeah, they can't all be bangers that hit hard. (This is a callback to earlier w/ them) 13yo: Ugh Me: I'm sorry they don't skibidi rizz. 13yo: Dad Me: My jokes are from Ohio, okay? 13yo: Do you enjoy seeing me suffer? Me: Sometimes

What's wrong babe? It's #MayThe4th an you've barely touched your Jabbacado toast.

hey i have a jewelry store!!!! nora.jewelry i just added a bunch of new sparkly shit yesterday! and also i am running a bespoke pendant and earring special through the weekend to ship out a week from today. nora.jewelry/products/fil...

I find myself wanting to post shit like about how awful dating apps are But like So much of everything feels so fucked

Can’t say that “call 911 to get my 9yo off my roof” was something I’d ever be doing but here we are. He climbed a tree to see if he could do this but without a plan to get down. He’s totally fine and honestly he enjoyed it. I can’t say I did, though. 😂😅

I know that gripes about DST are maybe boring or whatever but this shift forward wrecks me. It’s 2am, why am I up

Might save a life.

Some people get Sunday scaries based on having to go back to work the next day My version is to slowly spiral about mortality Is this midlife scaries orrrr
