After exhaustive testing, I've determined that I am composed of 93% bad jokes, 6% really bad jokes, and 1% Foucauldian discourse analysis.

My skin is crumbling. Mastodon is fine.

I forced the Mastoverse to take a personality quiz, and got some interesting results.

Today, I learned that my phone has a greyscale mode, and things may never be the same again.

I'm gay.

I was trying to read *fewer* #books last year. Yeah, that totally happened.

Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) should be better than my initial thought of rolling my own MarkDown -> static HTML site generator, but the site rendering is worryingly non-deterministic. With the exact same input about 1 in 5 builds produces a broken front page, while the rest are fine.

Just rebuilt my website from scratch so that I had a place to post this: https://flowerysong.com/posts/2019/01/music-of-the-year-2018/

(I've been putting these #music roundups on Tumblr for the past couple of years, but fuck Tumblr.)

"The ability to alter narratives in response to the success or failure of subplots or characters is seen as negative because we have constructed ideologies of the "true" artist and writer as governed only by individual genius and never by the demands of the marketplace. This view is, of course, elitist, alienated, and above all unrealistic." -- Jennifer Hayward, _Consuming Pleasures_.

I want to make laufabrauð, but I also want to not hate life so I think I probably won't.

Happy solstice!

Overheard at the store:

"I'm not going to make you pay for my nuts."

"I *already* paid for your nuts."

It's called mastodo, not mastodon't.

[Edit: it has been brought to my attention that it is in fact called 'mastodon', which is partway between the two. We sincerely apologize for any confusion.]

David Yates, director of _The Grimes of Crinklewad_: "it’s clear in what you see that [Dumbledore] is gay."

The actual movie: "Mud is clear, right?"

I was going to make a joke, but I checked and someone already did that joke. So, just keep this post in mind until you see a joke you like, and then you can safely assume that's the one I was going to make.
