This is how my weekends usually go:
- Get the laundry done
- Get the dishes done
- Get the dogs to the dog wash
- Get the groceries done for the week
- Do something that brings you joy
I'm always surprised when I get to that fifth item successfully.

Fire damage aboard #US supercarrier off #Iran caused by fire in a laundry is forcing the ship to go to Crete for repairs amid claims of poor crew morale.
Speculating here, but is this arson/sabotage?

It took more than 30 hours for sailors to put out the fire aboard the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford last week, sailors and military officials said,
as the beleaguered ship continued its monthslong slog through Trump’s military operations.
The fire started in the ship’s main laundry area last Thursday.
By the time it was over, more than 600 sailors and crew members had lost their beds and have since been bunking down on floors and tables, officials said.

Our downstairs bathroom has become a de facto half bath since the shower head developed a leak at the elbow that I can't repair without ripping out the water heater and a wall in the laundry room.
This little guy moved into the tub and seems to be doing pretty well for himself. Sometimes he climbs out of the drain and scuttles around the tub but most of the time he seems to like dangling from the drain by two legs.
He's been there for a couple of weeks to the point that I…
Just realised that I'm so far behind with processing my Zettelkasten inbox that the week numbering system I use is in danger of looping ... On the plus side that does mean I'm reading and writing again after what feels like too long.
Funny how you can sometimes feel "fine" but your executive function tells a different story, for me it shows up in unprocessed things (inbox, notes, photos, and laundry!)
I'm poking around Gallica for images to use for social media posts the department is putting together for a course we're offering this summer, "Themes in the History of Women Before 1800." Obviously, there are thousands of images, mostly engravings, showing women. It's really striking how many involve either naked bodies in the bath, lamentation of the crucifixion, or laundry.

It’s the same thing many techbros were saying out loud when they founded gig economy companies to do their laundry, cook their food, handle their errands, and clean their homes: “now that I have $app, I…
And here I had no idea I was leading a new trend - cooking from scratch, reading books, bus/walk rather then TNCs, heck, even doing the laundry (but preference for clothes not needing ironing - does that disqualify me?)
I baulked at the idea of ‘friction-maxxing’. But there’s more to it than meets the eye

#DeadLazyweb: Is anyone aware of a "no AI" marketplace or something? I just had to go through a hidden menu to disable "AI" on my dryer because it's not possible to buy a dryer without wifi and "AI" features (whatever the ambiguous fuck they mean by AI). I want dumb thing.
I don't want a "smart tv," I want an OLED that exposes HDMI and nothing smarter. I don't want a smart dryer. Thanks, I have enough attack surface in my house and I don't want to fight with a machine to make it just dry my laundry. Honestly, I don't even really want a smart phone anymore, but you can't really make Signal work on a Nokia brick.
If such a thing doesn't exist, I'd consider working on it but I don't want to re-invent a wheel if one already exists.

My neighbors definitely do not think this is more of the same. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look at how many Somali and Latin-American restaurants were thriving in November and now are closed, or getting almost no business if they are taking the risk of staying open. Look at how many kids are staying home from school — regardless of legal status, just because of the color of their family’s skin. Look at how many families are living in houses filled with dirty laundry because they won’t even take the risk of leaving the house to go to the laundromat.
My neighbors are living in •terror•.
If it’s more of the same, why did all of this suddenly change in the last two months?

Just finished the last Laundry Files book. It is the end of an era, but a good way to close things off.
Doing laundry earlier and was reminded of the time that I was looking at my parents washer as a kid and saw the "intimates" setting.
Being ten or so I had never heard the word before so I read it as "inmates".
And got very confused as to why a home washer would have a special setting for laundering prison uniforms

Today on Nutanix well-being day:
The builders which said they'd be here today still haven't shown up (2 week chaos in kitchen/utility, no laundry facilities as a result) Dishwasher has now decided to pack it in again, leaking over kitchen floor. I spent the morning drilling more holes into the walls because the new blinds we got are shorter than the old ones, and drilling holes in masonry is one of my least-favourite things.
I think I'm calmer when working $DAYJOB.…
