Good morning everyone - I have missed y'all terribly!

I have been busy working, restoring typewriters, building industrial furniture, and generally staying out of trouble.

I'm still 100% sober, including weed, in case we have two different definitions of the term.

My patent was officially filed and is currently in pending status - it involves pets, and I have no doubt that many of you will find it useful.

been thinking a lot about you and decided that I'd check in to let you know that I'm doing fine, rather than leave you to worry - I'm sorry again, to any of you whom I've hurt, disappointed, or let down

I've decided to live IN the moment, not FOR the moment - stepping away from socials has done wonders, for both my outlook, and for my mental health.

I have no plan to return fully to socials, but I may check in from time to time to see how YOU are doing!

have a great day, and keep it real yo 🖤

my squash may have come out squished, but still, it made for a damn fine dinner

#Vegetarian #ChefColeen #LaborDay

so this is the bit I was missing yesterday... I always wondered what the little eyelets were for on the older ribbons

also, don't tell Underwood that someone allowed someone else to take this machine apart and make adjustments

I gotta say, that I kinda dig the #5 - may just need one someday

upgrades

people are hurting, and they're being pushed too far

if you're in the market for an old typewriter, I can almost guarantee you won't get a warranty from anyone else

just a reminder that I've still two typewriters for sale, with free shipping, and a two year limited warranty, on my website, FB marketplace, and eBay

*buyer pays shipping for warranty repairs

Capitalism = deceptive advertising, superfund sites, microplastics, unhoused people, and hungry kids left out of education and opportunity

Socialism = feeding, educating, and housing everyone, fire departments, realistic advertising, and holding entities accountable for creating superfund sites

well kids, I have good news, and I have good news, and more good news

I just accepted an offer for that network engineer spot

and they offered me more money than I had originally agreed to

and kitty and I get to stay in San Diego

tentative start date July 28th

thank you Gaia 🌍🖤

trying to calm my racing heart fam; these latest rulings have me worried for so many good, hard-working people I know and love

I'm beyond disappointed in our country's fall into fascism

I cannot fight, and I cannot flee, so I'm just kinda short circuiting

@silverwizard man, tech bros, and high rent?! I got that here

also fascism though, we have more of that every day

@Rajiv I have no idea about Canada though, no idea where to live, no idea where to work

@Rajiv seriously

@Rajiv a connection in Bluesky pointed out Waterloo CA, so I applied for three jobs there

do you have any familiarity with it, or related advice?

@Rajiv thank you, I may reach out with questions

I may also just flee to Mexico 🖤

I'd still vote for Robot Biden, over Taco Man
