Snack Tip: Blain’s Farm & Fleet Dried Edamame. It’s good and crunchy and probably not terrible for you!

I don’t use this thing, so I pulled it out to put it up on eBay, but I really do think it’s cool. Just not my particular style.

//BNJMN (5/21/19): I’m concerned I’m becoming a hoodie person. I used to not be a hoody person, but I’ve probably worn a hoodie every day for a week.

Damp & Cold 5/19/19

It’s a glum day out there, very glum.

↬ Would you like to take a walk? 5/19/19

This old-timey song sung by Annette Hanshaw is just so delightful. Very simple, incredibly sweet. No dramatic I love you—just a humble, unassuming question. Would you like to take a walk?

↬ David Blight — The Civil War and Reconstruction Era 5/18/19

This Open Yale Course, HIST 119, by David Blight about the Civil War is fantastic. I’ve listened to the podcast version about three times. Blight has the best teaching voice I’ve ever heard—it’s more like he’s reading a story than giving a lecture. He doesn’t fetishize the war in any way, but makes it relevant and interesting.

The Civil War is one of the historical events that really matters in American history. Highly recommend this if you’re interested.

(note: currently the intro lecture in the podcast version is missing, so you’ll have to listen to that on the actual site. I do recommend you listen to it, even if the syllabus stuff is tiresome.)

↬ Week 20: Footfalls in the Dark 5/18/19

One of my favorite poems so far. A friend told me it was lovely, which made me feel good.

//BNJMN (5/18/19): The only thing worse than no WiFi is WiFi that pretends it’s your friend, but disappears right when you’re trying to find a cute picture of a chinchilla wearing a birthday hat

I feel quite uncomfortable taking and posting selfies, but I feel like they are good markers of time and existence and I will appreciate them when I am old.

//BNJMN (5/17/19): I dozed off in a creepy aspen grove in the woods today and when I woke up I was very lost and confused and I think I’m haunted now.

I found a cool boat. I am a captain now?

//BNJMN (5/17/19): The best thing about low-sodium potato chips is that they’re still awful, but cause a marginally reduced amount of personal guilt.

↬ The Daily 5/16/19

This morning’s episode of the Daily has the most heartbreaking, frustrating interview with an Iowan Trump supporter. He’s loyal, but if you listen to his opinions, he actually disagrees with Trump pretty thoroughly. I know people like this guy. There so many good and admirable qualities that come though, even in this interview, but there is some kind of ideological capture going on. People have put their trust in the wrong places.

↬ Come Get Me 5/14/19

Another song by Jenny O, but even more delightful than the last. It still has that weird chill, but with a 60s bubblegum pop, Motown edge.

//BNJMN (5/12/19): Made some updates to my posting workflow. I was experimenting with having my photo posts auto-syndicated to twitter, but wasn’t really happy with that. Now I have it so my photo upload shortcut gives me the choice to tweet the photo, and put in custom text, to make the tweet feel more native.

I also implemented a drafts shortcut to dual-post an aside as a tweet if I want to. I should probably do the same thing for link posts…
