aging dog, weird housing life 

Kitty has been having some incontinence issues as she's gotten older which has led to more than one pissing incident in our building's front hallway. my landlord was trying to sell the building like four months ago but he just texted to say he's going to see about getting his contractor to replace the front hall carpet with hard flooring, which is thoughtful but also seems like a weird expense if you're really planning to sell this place?

Nice book story 

The co-op bakery in my neighborhood has a little book rack and a few months ago I gave them some zines including one of the first self published copies of Networks of New York. Today I learned there's a family with a little kid who reads it every single time they come to the store!! It's their favorite book!!

observablehq.com/d/c8fafa2b342 retrofitted an observable demo that did a neat trick with generating isolines to accept arbitrary geojson files--it's hella slow but I think it will make for some nice plotter drawings. this one is probably going to be a little gift for a friend who just had a kid whose middle name is, I am serious, California

I did it anyway but I feel kind of like a faker signing onto the strike Germany campaign because like, the last time I got invited to do an art thing in Berlin was probably 2019?? I'm a washed up has been baby, is it solidarity or just irrelevance

The cascade of Means Girls promotion on my IG feed is only confirming my beliefs that Renee Rapp has the range to play both the Tridentarius twins from The Locked Tomb books
