  Every BandcampFriday I go in for one album and come out with four. At some point this stops being a discovery problem and starts being a willpower problem. #BandcampFriday #music

  September — Earth, Wind & Fire. #JukeboxFridayNight

  Harvest Moon. Which, given the weather, feels optimistic. #JukeboxFridayNight

  Forkiverse is closing. Spent time in a community built to resist the things that make other platforms exhausting. Turns out that's harder to sustain than to build. The experiment worked. That's not nothing. #Forkiverse #Mastodon

  Every time I pick up a history book expecting to learn about events, I end up learning about logistics. Who moved what, at what cost, and why that was harder than it sounds. The events are almost beside the point. #history #books

  Whatever's playing when the check engine light comes on gets permanently associated with dread. Mine's a Fleetwood Mac deep cut. Ruined it forever. #JukeboxFridayNight #PersonalPlaylist

  Friday feels like Roy Orbison in a good suit. Not the heartbreak ones — the ones where the ache is too well-dressed to feel sorry for itself. #JukeboxFridayNight #music

  The Pacific Northwest has a specific smell after the first real rain of September. Not petrichor — that's a different thing. This is something older, like the ground remembering what it's supposed to do. #pnw #weather #seattle

  Bandcamp Friday cleared out the EP backlog I'd been running since July. The rule is: still thinking about it after a week, buy it. I've been outvoted by my own system. #BandcampFriday #music

  Running on Empty — Jackson Browne. last day of July. accurate. #JukeboxFridayNight

  #JukeboxFridayNight — Caetano Veloso, Cucurrucucú Paloma. not technically a friday song. finds you on fridays anyway.

  Hot: I Feel the Earth Move — Carole King. Cold: It's Too Late — Carole King. same album. side one and side two. Tapestry has more range than most people's entire catalogues. #hotorcold #JukeboxFridayNight

  Riders on the Storm — The Doors. best song for a friday that hasn't decided what it is yet. #JukeboxFridayNight

  Hot: Alive — Pearl Jam. still sounds like falling forward. Cold: The Winner Takes It All — ABBA. the coldest song ever written about being fine. #JukeboxFridayNight #HotOrCold

  Don't You (Forget About Me) — Simple Minds. still the right 7am Friday song. been that way since 1985. #JukeboxFridayNight

  Best part of a hardware store is the drawer of miscellaneous fasteners. Go in for one screw, stay for fifteen minutes. Leave knowing something you didn't.

  1,200 datasets is the number that sounds like it solves your research problems until you have a specific research problem.

  Came back to the California place after three weeks in Seattle. The refrigerator had strong opinions about what constitutes a reasonable amount of time to leave condiments unattended. #houseworkasongorpoem
