"We're having a problem sending email out of the department."

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained.

I choked on my latte. "Come again?"

"We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated. "A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther."

Corollary: If you look around and don't see any helpers, the helper is you.

It has come to my attention that being a soft boy is a bad thing

As a soft boy, I want you to know, I am cuddly, supportive of your emotions AND masculine while channeling femininity. Thanks

I'm not sure what else I'm doing with my life, but at some point I decided to design a font that's up to 25% more doughnutty than the leading doughnut font (which is Frankfurter of course). The working filename has been "Glazed" but I'm trying to settle on a better name for it. https://mastodon.social/media/JE4evFHghlkPbrfXd0w

Today is one of those days where everyone needs a hug, isn't it.

Hug for all y'all. 💜

I hope your day gets at the least a little easier.
You deserve happiness.

We bought wonton wrappers at the store to make pork-and-carrot dumplings for dinner this weekend. Then @adeptomega asked if we could put hamburger gravy in dumplings, and I thought, "why not? We can do anything we possess der Wille zur Macht. So then, we need a dessert, so I thought, "mango smoothie dumplings."

Take two ripe mangoes, blend into paste with a cup of yoghurt, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger powder. Fill wonton wrappers, then chill. Deep fry in ghee.

I should make a science journal that competes with Nature called Nurture that's exclusively about reviewing science articles which attribute things to biology/natural order without considering how society might be a confound to their data.
