Shout out to that one friend who sends you the kind of reels that keep your Instagram algorithm *really* fucked up.

Every Sunday, rain or shine, Bakersfield Burrito Project makes ~100 meals and hands out essentials. They manage to do a helluva lot with not very much.
Itβs all mutual aid. Neighbors helping neighbors, no strings attached.
Thereβs just something about being there, helping the folks in our community who need a hand. Especially during this cold, wet, foggy Central Valley winter.
Itβs been brutal on our unhoused neighbors.
Iβve been back on Sundays with the project for the past month: prepping meals, packing hygiene kits, handing out coats, distributing meals.
After a few years of just maintaining the website from the sidelines, being in it again has honestly been really meaningful.
So, I turn 48 today. π
And like I do every February, Iβm going to ask yβall to donate to the Bakersfield Burrito Project instead of sending me birthday wishes or whatever.
An Instagram post from the account @bulgaria: The image features a large man with very short hair and a beard smiling in front of a Bulgarian flag. The text on the image reads: "Learn Cyber bullying in Bulgarian online in 4 weeks."
Iβve heard that Bulgarian is a really beautiful language to be cyber bullied in.
The WHAT system as a "new tab" page. It is yellow text on a black background. There are three lists: * What I Am Becoming * Someone who is more present and mindful * Someone who lives his values * What I Am Building * A way for me to be accountable to myself * Bakersfield's Anti-Capitalist Computer Club * A boutique WordPress consultancy * What I Am Learning * How to set and maintain personal boundaries * How to actually box * How to meditate
Un preview:
Lowkey obsessed with the WHAT system from @joanwestenberg.com's "A Metabolic Workspace" post.
In fact, I love it so much I built a quick and dirty web app for it. Now it lives on my new tab page, staring me down all day long.
App: what.boogah.org

Thereβs also free haircuts, mending from my friend Erica, and a whole lot of 100% free stuff looking for a new home.

After decades of being a hoodie guy, I finally caved and grabbed a couple crewneck sweatshirts.
Theyβre great. I mean, of course they are. Except I keep reflexively jamming my hands into pockets that donβt exist.
The learning curve on this is genuinely embarrassing. π
Watched the Marc Maron documentary last night at 2X. Out of respect for the podcast.
We're starting an Anti-Capitalist Computer Club in #Bakersfield. If you're nearby, sign up for updates at the bottom of the page. If you're not nearby, take a look at what we're doing consider and making your own version.

A Threads post from Garry Tan: "We should have more billionaires. Maximize abundance. Support entrepreneurship. We should be prosperity-maxxing." In an attached photo, Garry is pointing to the text on his blue sweatshirt. The shirt's text is done in the Mamdani mayoral campaign style and says: "WE SHOULD HAVE MORE BILLIONAIRES".
You ever see something *so stupid* that happened *months ago* but you can't let it go until you do something about it? Wellβ¦

Turns out I did say that. With my chest.
A painting of a public execution by guillotine during the French Revolution, with a large crowd gathered to watch.
Let us not forget what an army of frogs is capable of.
Things I donβt feel bad lying about: telling the door-to-door solar salesman that we donβt own our house (we do) so theyβll go away.
About ΒΌ of the way through @jasonkpargin.bsky.social's "I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom" and I'd really like a "Repo Man" influenced adaptation of this ASAP, please and thank you.
Okay, friendsβ¦ Iβm tentatively "releasing" my punky little web app, HΓSKER TΓDΓ.
If you happen to find something wrong with it, be nice.
And donβt get too used to that domain! Iβm moving it to one I own fairly soon.

Good answer. Nazareth, βHair of the Dogβ for me.
Yesterday should have been my best friend's 43rd birthday. To honor his memory and process my own grief, I built a small web app. I'm sharing it in case it might help you too.

A lady (50ish) just said βThank you, young man.β when I (47) held the door for her.
Feels like Iβm going to be riding on that for the rest of the week. π
This is where I post from
Marc Andreessen has a pointy head. He should wear a top-hat.
If he's such a genius why hasn't he discovered hats.
If anyone wants off Substack, Iβm happy to help you get on WordPress, Ghost, or literally anything else. HMU!
