you guys know brain worms are not particularly rare, right? there’s a non-zero chance you yourself have had one, especially if you ever ate food prepared by ppl who ever go to tropical countries. tapeworm and hookworm are super common culprits, but others too

found an old photo of myself from back when we were recording the false heroics “salvation navy” album. i miss that cardigan!

@mike i wouldnt choose it, for sure! thankfully the team i do web dev/IT work for recently switched from asana to notion! i've been running a notion kanban in parallel to whatever other software my teams have used to keep things straight for myself for ~6yr now, so i'm a happy clam

guess my photo of the dosa didn’t get uploaded somehow. check out this big ol fella!

@mike asana’s not great, but it’s far from the worst! i speak as someone who has been on teams using everything from wrike to teamwork projects to jira to airtable

4 foot dosa @ rangoli for my sister’s birthday — pretty good!

@levisan yeah, some places are worse than others i'm sure

@levisan yeah, though in reality it could go either way. i take it as a sign i shouldnt be offended if they dont accept my follow, but not that i should avoid even requesting it

@levisan i dunno, i kinda like it when you can see how the local greenery is. ideally you could swap between time of year though, but a lot of places are significantly uglier in winter

@levisan i think a lot of time it's just privacy orientation — someone who wants to feel free to post what they like on the account without mystery strangers following along. (esp if they or someone close to them has been burned by creeps/stalkers before)

@malcolm still find myself defaulting to nvalt if i am trying to make a random note a lot of the time

friends gave us tickets to the blue jays / royals game tonight at the skydome. ultra nosebleed sears (only two rows behind us) but still a surprisingly good view, and probably not as loud since we were above/behind the speaker arrays
