Queer stoicism question of the day

If Marcus Aurelius and Seneca had lived in a capitalist society, would they have agreed or disagreed with RuPaul’s conditional:

“Unless they paying your bills, pay them bitches no mind.”

My favorite #WinterOlympics2022 sport is “moose knuckles at 128 kph” aka “men’s luge”.

Watched “tick, tick… BOOM!” on Netflix tonight. I enjoyed it much more than “RENT”. I relate to the struggle to do meaningful work, but the 1980s AIDS crisis just triggers me. We’re missing a generation of queer people and, sadly, also the man who tried to tell their stories.

I have not gotten any variant, but it feels like all of my friends have and are living their best lives again.

Come next week, Sverige lifts all restrictions which will turn Stockholm into one giant COVID-19 party for anyone not yet infected. So should I just accept getting it?

So if you get omicron and survive and don’t suffer long covid disabilities, does science support you just returning to “normal” life, like going to restaurants and gyms, as if the new infection rate is not still multiples above the last wave?

Except when Shanae manipukisses. Then we just glare.

The way Arthur and I watch The Bachelor|ette: cuddling on the couch, glass of wine, and kissing every time there is a kiss on screen.

Every time someone says, “Omicron is more mild,” I think of how I have more first degree friends who have lost vaccinated/boosted parents/family to this variant than any other.

I know it is anecdata, but it angers me because it’s more personal.

Today’s Wordle is: NOOOO

This past week’s discourse about that one podcaster suggests there is a market opportunity to be the Ted Lasso of podcasts.

I miss Rdio.

Things got a bit heated in Web dev Twitter this week. I am grateful Apple and Google have social media policies that permit difficult discourse to take place. It helps the Web gets better.

I love Calendly and similar apps because they make it so much easier to schedule time with people, especially across many time zones. I do not understand the hate towards it yesterday on Twitter. It’s like being mad at hammer. It’s just a tool, not a power move.

Anyone want MadeInSanFrancis.co?

You just have to pay the renewal fee from the registrar.

"relentless" implies one must first be "lentless" or "lacking lent"

“Ted Lasso” really is as amazing as everyone has said.

I feared it would be quite saccharin or too sports focused, but it was not.

I want more shows like this. Optimistic, but realistic. Kind, but not without adversity.
