Checking out the excellent Lire RSS reader on iOS. Tremendous bargain for $9.99.

Feeling fully myself again after replenishing my pizza stores at Mucca. The North and South is one of our faves. The honey chili bruschetta is decent, too. 🤌

Bold claim, but cute nevertheless.

How Oregon cheese became the best in the world | Superabundant

When the in-mirror lighting at the dermatologist is on point. Felt cute, might delete later lol.

#GhostCMS has got to be working on an iOS app, right? Adding #ActivityPub doesn’t make sense to me otherwise. The social feeds and discoverability in the Wordpress and Substack apps are what set them apart and make them enjoyable to use. PWAs don’t cut it in this sphere.

Kind of want a Land Cruiser 70 series, but I guess they need to be 25 years old before you can import them due to federal motor vehicle safety standards. The design hasn’t changed all that much since then. Love the boxy look.

I breezed by 48 hours so I just kept going. Felt good for the most part, but I was ready to be done by the 70-hour mark. Probably will stick to two days from here on out.

The iOS Books app is desperate for a redesign. Managing your own library is a terrible experience.

Trying this one again. It definitely helps with the insomnia.

My first chaperone experience.

The current administration wants to give people $5k to have more kids? That would barely cover our fresh fruit bill. Daycare for 2 kids is like $35k per year on the low side.

Suddenly my 1280 sf (119 m²) house doesn’t seem so small by European standards.

Turns out that fasting 6 out of 10 days can make you shed a bit of weight.

Finished reading: The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein 📚

Did the thing. Focused on being decent. Stepped away when I needed to. Walked. Maintained my fast.

My eldest uncle went to a protest today in my hometown of Saginaw, Michigan and sent this to me. Might be the best thing I’ve ever seen. Gives me hope.

Lord give me strength to keep my mouth shut with the MAGAs today.

Just got a quote to redo the siding on my very small house. $48k. GFYS.

Finished S3 of White Lotus. Sort of hilarious how it satirizes the Western pursuit of enlightenment through luxury wellness experiences, but hell if I couldn’t use a vacation like that.

Oregon’s Alpacas per capita 🦙 📈

I think a better location would be the soccer fields in Washington Park. Reconfigure Jefferson to serve it. Create a new underground MAX station. No surface parking. Keep as many trees as you can to have a ballpark in the forest.

Oregon Senate passes funding bill for new Portland MLB ballpark

Completed my second ever multi-day fast today. I think I’m getting the hang of this.
