Good morning, Bluesky. Please enjoy these flowers from my cabin. As a reminder, this week, I'm on vacation and updates will be sporadic and mostly will have pretty pictures. I am not keeping up with what's going on in the outside world this week. There is no world, only boat. Boat is boat.

Microdosing (cutting my gummy into quarters)

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.

The followers-only reply setting appears to be improving my experience here a lot! However I do think I'll have to also turn off quote-posts whenever I exercise that option. They remain pretty weird when the post escapes containment.

This is just a game for Elon, but the consequences for families in Oregon and across the country are real and dire. His purge of the federal government is going to make life harder and more expensive for all of us.
