New zine: The Secret Rules of the Terminal
I mostly got off lucky with the macOS Tahoe beta 1 install, so much so that I’m nervous about upgrading to beta 2. I’m going to wait a while. Don’t want to risk breaking anything else this week.

I Love My Daily Sports Shows: Baseball And Love Island
In the winter, my television mostly stays off. The winter is when my brain is at its best. I am reading. I am writing. I am maybe watching a couple episodes of a show a week. But this feels crazy to type right now, at this moment in the summer, because I currently have a minimum of four hours of television I must watch every single day. I do not have time to read or have hobbies or do anything else, because I am too busy being locked the hell in.
Television has been my best friend for several weeks because of two shows that come on every day. The first show is baseball. I am a Phillies fan, and baseball teams play 162 games over the course of six months every year. I watch most of them. But then I am also committed to another kind of sport called Love Island.
