    @JedWatson Remember your Open Source tirade last night? Let me introduce you to @DeirdreS, who heads up our efforts in that space. I told her you’ve got some great ideas!!

    Just chipped in myself. As an expat, donating to progressive candidates is one of the ways I can still feel engaged and like I’m making some small difference. Thanks as always, @Pinboard! https://t.co/kvoEh5ffqM


    @Pinboard I did it in 2018 too but a couple of the candidates returned my money, thinking I wasn’t a citizen. 🙁 I hope including my passport number will help with that this time around!

    Current bogroll status: 20 rolls left from the giant Costco pack we bought six months ago. Phew. Was not relishing the idea of trying to source more.

    Petey Cat yarked so loudly the other night I heard it through my Sleepphones-and-white-noise isolation kit and became convinced the Snook was choking to death beside me. I sat up and yelled, I’m told. 😐 https://t.co/DaXGi8nIGh


    I did not buy any toilet paper today. I did however spend $23 on a goddamn 250g bag of coffee beans, because evidently Chippendale is turning into fricking Surry Hills, and everything is awful, and I’ve just given up fighting.


    Ah, Mardi Gras. Turns out six hours of makeup, glitter, and sweat is not that great for your complexion. 😱 https://t.co/GOrMUA9iak


    @chaitanyakuber It better be.


    @malcolmsheridan We bought like a mattress size pack at Costco six months ago… still working through it.
