Steven HoeferMy favorite kinds of toots:

- I went outside, this is what I saw.
- I’m making something.
- I’m trying something new.
- This is my jam. (Any kind of jam.)
- I made a thing and I’m proud!
- I’m bad at it a thing, but I’m sharing anyway!
- This is my important animal or person.
- Whimsical shitpost.
- Real life mundane thing.
Steven HoeferSomething that would get me to subscribe to a streaming channel is a reboot of Hogan's Heroes set in an ICE camp with a bunch of immigrants manipulating and humiliating the ICE agents while running sabotage and espionage against the police state.
Steven HoeferHeard the manager of a theater say (roughly) "We're always thinking about risk. We take the risk so there is no risk for the artist."
And damn. If that isn't what every artist needs, someone to take on the risk so they can create and do daring things.
Steven HoeferMiss using my 2006 Japanese flip phone something fierce.
It had pretty much everything that a modern phone has. GPS, navi, camera, music player, web browser, app store, removable storage, etc. Even had a rear/top display so you could read notifications without having to open it.
Plus it could record and play back over-the-air TV signals. Take that, iPhone.
And it had personality and the best feel when opening and closing. snick

Steven HoeferDeleted that game off my phone. Put the Obsidian icon in the same place so maybe I’ll write more often instead of zoning off into game brain.
A damn shame that Scrivener can’t reliably sync projects across devices, but Obsidian will do.
Steven HoeferI wrote more than 1,000 words on my phone yesterday.
That is nonsense for all kinds of reasons, but I'm not going to complain about getting another 1K words down on my work in progress.
I don't think it's going to work for editing, but I was completely wrong about how much I was willing to write on my phone.

Steven HoeferIf you can get yourself a copy of Apollo 13 (1995) with the commentary, the commentary track from Jim and Marilyn Lovell is the best thing in the whole damn world.
Or, if you're a nerd for the long haul, Apollo 13, in real time. All of the audio and film from the mission all synced up. https://apolloinrealtime.org/13/
