@Cathy_McM what a lovely video! thank you for sharing it

thinking about which numbers are funny and why. not the numbers that are funny signifiers like 69 or 420 but like why is 22 funny and 20 isn't funny. is it a prime number adjacency thing or something else

today's dumbest embarrassment was probably me explaining the character actor Richard Kind to a stranger at the dog park

@kissane I did figure out how to do a pay what you want setting btw: https://unraveling.systems/pwyw/

I'm having a lot of fun with the new newsletter but wow, Buttondown sure is buggy huh

@kissane Erin I can't deny perfection sorry

@kissane perfect sentences are separate from unraveling.systems mostly bc Ghost's multi-newsletter support isn't great but I can also just manually add you if you want

This week's perfect sentences are from @kissane, a 2013 undergraduate thesis, Leslie Marmon Silko, The Mountain Goats, and a World War II veteran: https://buttondown.email/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-02/

I'm finally going through my National Archives materials from my first trip so I did a little blog about a particularly prickly letter that I found: https://rocks.guide/quartz-part-1/

I also had to explain what Howl's castle looked like so that probably didn't help as the teacher also had no reference for baba yaga??

today the yoga teacher told us to envision ourselves as "a castle" and I immediately visualized uh Howl's moving one. got a very "I love that for you" response when I told the teacher this after class

@quaad for sure it's ok, and yes the judge is pretty bad!!

Is there an application process, how do I become Dad destroyer of worlds
