Toad sat and did nothing. Frog sat with him.

I don't think I ever posted this piece. It's 54 windmills in increasing stages of construction. It's pen-plotted with green ink on cotton paper. Each of the mills is generated using some python code...

My family spent Thanksgiving week at a cabin about an hour from home. My son was down by the lake one afternoon and found this tiny shell on the beach. I thought I'd see if I could use my macro lens to make an interesting photo of it. I really like the way the inner spiral of the shell turned out.

While stressing out about the turkey thaw rate in the wee hours of the morning, I poked at ntfy and liked it. Tried replicating some simple notifications through @Tines but no luck, probably some simple mistake.

Happy US Colonizer Day for all who celebrate.

My indigenous fowl is still thawing, yet should be in the oven in three and a half hours.

Well played.

a tweet by Walter Masterson:

how to deal with your MAGA family this Thanksgiving

offer to leave the family in prayer. open the Bible and read Leviticus 19:33-34:

"when a foreigner resides among you in your land do not mistreat them. The Foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native born.
Love the Miss yourself, for you were foreigners in egypt. I am the Lord your God"

Tabletop exercise, your major SaaS supplier got hit with ransomware 8 days ago and they're in the US, but you're in the UK, and you haven't had an update in 4 days, and they've gone on holiday as it's Thanksgiving, and their last update was there's no ETA on restoration. https://blueyonder.com/customer-update

Spotted while cafe writing and roaming in small city Aotearoa #newzealand

A woman (80s?) excitedly talking to a friend. "Did I tell you my granddaughter's doing burlesque now? I'm biased but I think she'll be the most wonderful pole vaulter."
Her friend laughs. "Don't you mean pole DANCER?"

A man (20s?) in office clothes with a hoodie over the top. There's a print on it that says "You are more loved than you will ever know." He's ambling along in the sun, eating a pie with all signs of enjoyment, tomato sauce on his fingers.

A waitress in a cafe smiling quietly to herself as she spoons the batter for muffins into a tray. The place is packed, people are talking excitedly but she appears lost in concentration. Muffins are where it's at.

Three men (late teens) strutting along, channeling a 70s rock band. One has majestic Robert Plant hair circa 1970s that shines in the sunlight. There's double denim, there's a black satin shirt with frills. There's enough machismo to fuel an Italian football team. They're going to Kmart.

A small human (2?) waddling through a cafe. He's been given a chocolate chip cookie and he's offering everyone a bite. Numerous strangers are saying "Thank you!" and feigning taking a bite with generous "Num num num" noises. Small human is a benevolent prince in his cookie kingdom. All is well.

Any typos spotted in this post are missioning to offer everyone a cookie. If spotted please feign eating one for fear of hurting their feelings. Num num num.
