I often have more than one email address on a mailing list. I’d like to unsubscribe with one of those email addresses. But from iOS, it seems quite hard to see which of my email addresses the email was sent to since they are both a part of my contact. Any tricks?

We could have chosen the world where everyone feels safe to use the bathroom in the US Congress, but instead we chose one where one Representative will be unsafe from her colleagues.

Intolerance and hatred, almost certainly performative intolerance and hatred, are now the values being rewarded.

Here’s my current closet layout. The vertical box represent a corner– I get an L-shape of our shared U-shaped closet.

After going through my clothes, I have quite a few open spots I need to organize a bit better.

What’s funny is that Elsa still finds this hopelessly disorganized, at least partially due to the fact that I do not organize my hung clothing at all. While they’re separated somewhat by “casual” and “formal”, within “casual” I have no color, type, or seasonality organizing. It’s all just hung up, and I can see everything just fine anyway.

TIL: Micro.blog API really doesn’t like it when you put a large SVG in-line in your post versus using the <object> syntax with an already uploaded file.

How is it almost 2025 and my Mac still collects all of my iMessage notifications that I long saw on other devices?

Anyone know if Shawn Blanc is doing ok? Tools and Toys hasn’t had new post in two months and his personal site hasn’t had a blog post in a year (I was checking to see if Tools and Toys was shutting down).

Also, anyone have any good recommendations for a site like Tools and Toys?

Having the largest Patagonia store here in Baltimore is great. I found a tremendous winter coat in the outlet section for greater than 50% off. It was “irregular”, but myself, Elsa, and an employee couldn’t identify anything off– which the employee said was virtually always true.

Every time I see one of my posts on Mastodon or Bluesky with an inline link and not OpenGraph I start to think OpenGraph was a mistake. It works well when the point of a post is to link somewhere else, but is terrible when using an inline link like hypertext intended.

You know, if Trump wants to cap credit card interest, why not pay day loans? Jail bond? And you know, there’s this agency that the GOP absolutely loves, the CFPB, that probably would be a great way to accomplish this work…

I’ve made the mistake of looking at the property taxes for homes that cost 30-50% more than my home in parts of this county I really like and realizing how easy it would be to move.

I think Robert Jackson Bennett might be my favorite author?

Matt Gaetz also slept his way to the top. It just turns out for the GOP to do so you have to be a child predator.

It’s really simple. I will not abandon trans people or immigrants to win.

What’s the point of winning if we’re not going to protect vulnerable peoples’ rights to exist?

And what’s the point of influencing culture if not to ensure those people are no longer vulnerable at all?

Skepticism cannot persist when met with empirical evidence. Vaccine and climate deniers exist, skeptics do not. To be skeptical is to be in a state of uncertainty absent proof. Denialism, often motivated denialism, should not be rebranded as skepticism or heterodoxy.

Does anyone else say “that’s enough” out loud when stopping a YouTube video that’s going way long and repetitive to pad out its run time? No, just me?

I see people outraged on the internet all the time about things which simply do not register for me at all. There’s something wild about someone absolutely unhinged about a thing you don’t (and even when pointed out, wouldn’t) think twice about. I’m thinking a lot about that post election.

I’ve made it down to two unread items in my RSS reader for the first time in forever. Tomorrow is going to be RSS 0 day, I can feel it.

This was an adorable jalopy parked by the gym.

A small, British coupe with a white roof, gray, almost unfinished paint, and yellow rims.

I keep seeing the video of the New Zeland MP who starts a Haka on the floor. I feel like each time it’s more and more affecting. Even half a world away, and as distant physically and culturally that I am, the meaning and power of their protest hits like a 2x4.

Honest question— are there childhood vaccines that were no longer commonly administered in the US in the late 80s because we had largely defeated that disease that I should be begging my PCP to give me now?

Please tell me someone at YouTube knows how shit their app has become on tvOS.
