This Pride month, a trend has developed that is driving me insane. There is a response to almost any LBTQ+ topic that goes something like “Just leave kids alone”. I’ve seen it too much. It’s silly, it’s harmful, it’s (usually) just a smokescreen. Take this report from NBC News, and you’ll see the trend I’m … Continue reading “Actually Protecting Kids”

I was inspired by this post from Chris Coyer, What Works From You. There was a line that was remarkable simple but it really struck a chord with me. “That fella’s very honest approach of we do what works for us is a nice sentiment. While perhaps easier said than done, I like how it … Continue reading “What Works For You – Personal Edition”

Last Friday, I took Dani to the urgent care vet. They were close to closing, but were kind enough to see him. Dani was relatively cooperative and, in the end, it didn’t end up being anything serious. I was really appreciative that they saw him. It was a long weekend of him not feeling 100% … Continue reading “Thanks For Being Nice?”

I don’t believe God has ever written a bill or passed a law in the United States. Until he does, I think deferring responsibility to him is shameful and makes one unfit to serve in government.

Hey reader. It’s been a bit. I’m sorry about that. It’s been a little busy. My last post was on January 16th. Lightfall came out on February 28th. Probably pretty obvious why I was away from the blog for a bit. If you saw the Destiny 2 Year in Review or the Subclass Moments, I’m … Continue reading “I’m Here”

Since Musk took over Twitter, I’ve had a couple of blog posts explaining that Twitter just…feels different now and not in a good way. It’s not the only website that I sense has grown far beyond what it should be. I’ve blogged in the past how different Facebook feels now compared to when it first … Continue reading “Hey so I’m over on Mastodon now”

I’m 30 today. I suppose that’s a milestone birthday. Doesn’t feel any different than 29. Why would it? 29 was yesterday. I do recognized that Father Time is undefeated and I need to develop some better habits to assist in my longevity. Thankfully, I’m not starting from 0 so that’s a good thing.

Happy Thanksgiving if that’s your thing! I have some code to write and some video games to play. Not too excited for any of the NFL games this year but that’s alright. We have some (hopefully) great college football to watch and a World Cup match against England! Anyway, happy Thanksgiving.

After almost 3 years of dodging this mess, I finally caught COVID-19. Not really sure how as I work from home and don’t go very many places, but still caught it. Had an appointment for the updated booster next week too. When folks say “it’s like a bad cold” I understand where they come from … Continue reading “I finally caught COVID”

This tweet cropped up this week. It’s a very Twitter tweet. Who was responsible for giving this power? Who is the “we”? What power are we discussing? Getting past the snarky responses that immediately come to me, I know what they mean. I am a morning person. I won’t scream “good morning” at you or … Continue reading “Morning People”
