the morning's attendance card, a sketchy me in a meditative state surrounded by swirling people and partially cooked birds. dead turkey day, round two; happy to those who celebrate

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is brilliant. So good.

Other nice part using of this Micro->Mastodon system: I’m now Mastodon-verified.

just a test to make sure i didn’t blow something up

The insulin pump has arrived. Let the era of cybernetic keeping me alive commence (after appropriate training).

Filed under: weirder, deadlier, and potentially more useful (back)roadside finds along the day’s run. And so it goes along the rural pathways.

the day's roadside find: an axe / hatchet devoid of handle.

the morning's attendance card, a sketchy me pondering, as I did in the writing itself, the relationship between my spacestreams (of thought).

That was the most relaxing Thanksgiving I’ve had in twenty years. No family, no pressure to eat stuff I couldn’t, no performative niceties - just my wife, myself, the dogchildren, MARIO KART, a raclette, and beer.

Recap of last year for Micro.blog friends (and Mastodonians as well): still alive / still running / mom died / wills and such / still writing / still pod-ding / dogchildren fine / kirby still nuts / POWERWASH SIMULATOR my jam / here we are / how are you

Micro->Mastodon testing will continue throughout the day. Decisions decisions, etc etc.

The very red top to the Casio G-Shock SUPER MARIO BROS watch tinThe Mario G-Shock itself. Red blue, with pixelated Mario wristband. The very red underside to the Casio G-Shock SUPER MARIO BROS watch tin, reading HERE WE GO!

Hi, Micro-people. The dogchildren and I are back. Using this space as a way to stick to once-daily things at Parenthetical Recluse while maintaining a Mastodon presence AND making it easier for me to add pictures to the weekly newsletter. Good to be back.

Testing testing Micro -> Mastodon. Here’s a dog picture

Kirby, the german shepherd, with his half-chewed jolly ball. Smiles abound.

Resuming transmission… maybe. Test test, etc.

Combined my About and (former) Status pages into one mutant hybrid. Think it makes things a little less unwieldy in the nav menu.
