I'm taking it as personal growth that I resisted the urge to measure, center, and align everything here

Nope, I didn't imagine that China Mieville wrote a dnb Pied Piper story hinging on Da Bass II Dark

Huh – content warnings stick to the threads! Neat!

Navigating that most treacherous and turbulent of boundaries, the sudafed/benadryl interface

I feel like the instances/federation design is going to eventually be offputting without some kind of simpler unified metaphor

My impulse here is to record the quotidian. Remembering my first social networks, without history or layers of in-jokes – you have to start at the bottom of a Maslow's hierarchy of shared reference.

I am sick. Here is what I hear:

- La Reverdie ensemble singing Hildegard von Bingen's Hodie aperuit, accompanied by a harp or possibly some kind of dulcimer.

- my 3yo tapping cans of soda water on the bench under the window to the fire escape: "It sounds like bells."

- a helicopter taking off from the South Street Seaport.

- a semi truck on the BQE doing what we used to call a "jake break."

- the fridge's compressor.

- laptop key clicks.
