I really enjoyed rocking out with Salter Cane on Friday night—thanks to everyone who came along!
Some of the problems Trump has created are fixable. They are painful for many people, and clearly so morally wrong, illegal, or just plain dumb that they will have to be reversed, with time. And then there are the disastrous, long-term mistakes like bombing Iran that we’ll be stuck with for decades.
Got everything set up for the photo booth for the MySpace ride tomorrow! Ready to roll out the door!
Hopefully the weight distribution is ok. There's a giant battery powering the monitor and printer, it's held in place slightly in front of the axle.
It's waffle night! Time to stock up on breakfast waffles!
The grocery store only had 2 silken tofu but I need 6 so I had to improvise... used a lot more oat milk and yogurt to make up the difference.
I’ve updated the Micro.blog photo challenge page with the final list of words. Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I think I’ve got at least one or two from everyone who sent ideas in.
In hindsight, June was an incredibly busy month for me to do this, but I’m so happy to see people’s photos. 📷

I’ll be updating the photoblog challenge post today with the final set of prompts for the month. If anyone has word suggestions, let me know! The special collection of everyone’s posts is also way behind, so I hope to get that caught up this weekend.
Speak plainly. Don't say sui generis, say unique. And as Brent says, lessons not learnings. Keep it simple. This is one of the foundations of blogging, btw. "Try to write correctly."
Just a guess, but the people doing the "ice" raids are not real police any more than the "doge" people are/were actually part of the US government. In this New Yorker podcast, they dug into what "doge" actually was/is. Some weren't actually Trump supporters, they just thought it would be interesting to be empowered to fix the government. They learned the government doesn't work the way they thought it did. Spending is way up over the years, but number of government employees has stayed flat. It has already been largely privatized. Tangentially they appear to have found some things actually worth fixing. Tech culture isn't just the billionaires, far from it. There's a lot of hippie ethics in there too, you just have to look past the money, which seems too much work for some/most journalists. But The New Yorker tends to do this well, btw, sometimes. 😄
Delivery robots gathering. It’s day 20 of the photo challenge.

It’s the 20th anniversary of the launch of microformats.org! So many blogs and social platforms still use Microformats today, including Micro.blog and Mastodon. A simple, useful data format for the IndieWeb.
