starting to realize that when I run out of spoons, it's often because I am inadvertently running a fucking Spoon Library, with 80% of the stock checked out to others at any given moment... and no overdue fees.
does everyone have a birthday today? I'm in my apartment waiting for the heat to go and I hear Germans outside singing "heppy bearss-dey tuuu yuu!"

Researchers from Dublin reviewed the Google Play Services that are mandatory for Covid Tracing Apps on Android. Every 20 min they transfer:
- IP adress
- phone #
- email
- IMEI
- SIM #

➡️ So it's illegal, intrusive and affects large parts of the population

"Ok, now we need a desk lamp."
"I made a list from the website! Our options are Jansjö, Ranarp, Forså, Hektar—"
Suddenly, with an unearthly roar, the stench of brimstone filled the air. In a swirl of smoke and flame, a dark figure appeared, with robes of pure shadow and fiery eyes.
"WHAT FOOLISH MORTAL DARES SUMMON ME, THE MIGHTY—" The demon stopped abruptly. It frowned at the tasteful Swedish pine furniture on display, then sighed. "Dammit, not again."
a friend says there is likely to be a thunderstorm in Berlin later today. I'd love that, but my weather app steadfastly says "sunny & 35 & no hope".
because i'd left facebook and instagram ages ago, i had a newsletter with which i informed my small pool of friends, most of whom live nine hours behind my time zone, about my life.
today i finished converting my latest newsletter into markdown and made it a post on my new jekyll-powered blog. god fucking save me.
one of the best places in Berlin is in danger of closing! https://www.startnext.com/schwarzescafe

woke up speaking the lines of a dream in which I was fearfully promising Mayfield (from The Sisters Brothers) that I would make things right between us and finish the job
