this has obviously been on my list for a while but i picked it up on sale because of this post, and 50 minutes in it’s already one of my favorite things ever

Reminder that pinning an image-only feed is peak.

People tend to say what annoys them, but show what they enjoy. So vibes are always better. It also makes interacting with art/cool things way easier.

And its helped me be online more without flooding my brain with the bad.

i already owned everything in here, so all i could do was like all of the posts, but you should buy lex's music

happy bandcamp friday! my newest track, eris, is a dreamy and nostalgic once-love letter to a woman i would absolutely have allowed to ruin my life.

#bandcampfriday #musician #noAI

i got my real start in music by forming a prog metal band in high school that was heavily inspired by video game music, so you can get a sense of how up my alley this is. really glad you put it out for us 💜 you always use the tastiest synth sounds

Things I Enjoyed In 2025 algo's webbed site

instead of letting the state of the world keep me silent forever i picked this post up and finished it today. it seems overwhelmingly like the wrong time for it, but that's been true all year so far, so here it is:

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

my first guess was app icons: the left two striking me immediately as messages and navigation, the right two... stocks and a firewall? i don't think i'm quite there though

i ran an irc server for a handful of years before discord took over, and the sense of presence of having people join and leave the room, the implication that if you’re logged in you’re -there- and will participate in the conversation… i miss it. i know not even irc is like that any more but i dream

increasingly feeling like the biggest bullet i’ve ever dodged in my life was pivoting from my web development career in 2023

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

happy birthday c:

just finished listening through both of them and am happy to provide a ringing endorsement; pick these up while you can!

you know all that you need to!

i have been programming for over two decades and i touch javascript as infrequently as i'm able. i can't even begin to describe how much better the world out there can be when you don't have to use javascript. i would sincerely go back to my COBOL job before i went back to frontend web dev.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.

DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.

This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!

Stay frosty, friends.

if you havent cancelled spotify yet and this isnt the final nail in the coffin for you, i really dont know what else to say other than i hope some introspection finds you soon

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

As someone who likes to support artists on Bandcamp, this just made my morning.

this all inspires a complex mix of emotions that i don't need to unload on the internet, but thank you for the explanation. for my own sake i'll probably just finish the ones i have and be more discerning with future purchases

what finally tipped you off about them? i've had concerns about mine in the back of my head since i ordered them

my only sappy thing to say about GDQ is that the last however many years have tried their best to convince the world that ppl like me should not exist and sometimes you wonder if we really are on a downfall but GDQ comes around saying trans rights all day all week raising millions and millions
