assistance request, ongoing long thing, paypal link, mh (--)
So, Tess ( @pillowcat ) is... no longer able to work, and I'm not able to work and still fighting through disability stuff. We need about a hundred dollars to make rent this month... and that's assuming we manage to spend nothing on food the rest of the month (that's near impossible with my disability) we thought we were going to be ok after asking for help last week but now we're spiraling b/c of neither of us being able to work
paypal.me/nautilee every little bit helps

I bought a knock-off 3DS for running emulators that is actually an Android gaming cabinet. This is proudly emblazoned on the back of the box.
I think I get where they were going with it.

Another amusing exchange from my mom.
"You see Seattle is pretty much full of sad gay animals."
"Oh no! Why are all the puppies and kitties sad?"
"No mom it's me. I'm the sad animal."
"Oh."
scurrilous gossip about a local restaurant
A friend and I tested one of their first menus — at discount — when they first popped up in that location. And I guess they figured out how to end the streak.
I hope it continues to work for them.
scurrilous gossip about a local restaurant
Among the restaurants that landed there: multiple Thai restaurants of mediocre rapport, one brief attempt at an upscale wine bar, and a pinball-arcade-Americana fusion called Highscore Burgers.
A few months after the burger place folded, it was bought by the protege of a master chef and converted into a “five star” Indian Tapas fusion restaurant called The Guilt Trip. And, years later, it’s still there — now being advertised to me on the back of a bus.
scurrilous gossip about a local restaurant
Some of the Renton city busses are advertising a restaurant right next door to my old home, and it’s kind of funny to me.
Back when I was living in an apartment complex on Eastside, there was a small house next door that had been converted into a string of unsuccessful restaurants. A new place would pop up once every couple of months, fold with little warning or fanfare, and then pick up a few weeks later under a new owner. Rinse, repeat. For years.

cool projects, openlibrary
Tonight I learned that you can sponsor books to be added to Archive.org’s Open Library project: https://openlibrary.org/sponsorship
Doing so pays for buying a copy of the book, scanning it, and creating exactly one digital license for that book to be lended out through their service, in two week intervals.

Coworker: How do you know so much about <thing>?
Me: Because I am a mysterious and unknowable dragon on the internet.
Me: Shit.

Which isn’t exactly hard in this case, because infosec and furry have a rather large intersection. But I still maintain that barrier to prevent work and social lives merging together.

Untitled Goose Game is one of those games that uncomfortably intersects furry circles and work chat. In which I get to pretend that I don’t follow many of the people talking about it in either circle.

hummingbird prep, winter
Our winter hummingbird population is large enough now that I’ve put out three feeders for them.
Last winter, they were consuming 32oz of nectar a month. The consumption rate peaked this August/September, at this same amount every two weeks. It’ll probably go back down as more birds migrate South, though we have quite a few Anna’s hummingbirds that stay here year-round.
It’ll be interesting to see how they adjust to the new feeders.
