      From the nature of breakfast burritos, breakfast burgers, and so we can deduce that to breakfast a food item is to add egg to it. This in turn implies that fried chicken is "breakfast chicken", ramen is "breakfast noodle soup", and sponge cake is a "breakfast cookie".

      Kink At Pride.

      A delta truck at pride
      detailed image description

      A pickup truck with the Delta airlines logo on the side, bedecked with rainbows and topped with an inflatable Delta plane. Several men are visible in the truck bed grinning and looking off to the side.

      “Smile,” Tom reminded me. “You’re going to be famous.”

      I looked up and saw people holding up their phones, filming us. “No…” I gasped. “…not on social media! We’ll be taken out of context!”

      “The context, darling, is that everyone on 4chan and Twitter is going to know that you’re my little bitch boy.”

      “It’s X now,” I grunted, and this time when he pounded into me so hard it felt like I couldn’t breathe, I deserved it.

      …

      Cliff's written a viciously funny piece of satirical erotic fiction sending up the discourse around the place of sexuality at pride. It's funny and it's hot and you should for sure check it out if that's your jam. I think if more entries in internet arguments were in the form of erotic fiction rather than angry microposts the world would be a much better place.

      my makeup philosophy

      when i was younger, i was honestly pretty disinterested in makeup and fashion trends. i found it alienating; i did not fit in with what was popular among the youth of my assigned gender. and i think i knew that it was a futile effort to even attempt fitting in. no, i knew i was a little weirdo who felt infinitely more comfortable hiding behind a computer screen.

      but there was one day where i was at the local drugstore, and i made a shortcut through the makeup section to get to the pharmacy. something caught my eye. it was a display of eyeshadow quads, all featuring different color palettes. and i stopped for a moment, curious about the color combinations. color theory was already a pretty big interest of mine at that point; i had been doing a ton of limited color palette drawing exercises, and the quads on display reminded me of the palettes i'd use for practice.

      I really appreciate tulip's articulation of their approach to makeup as an art rather than an attempt to meet impossible beauty standards. I'm always compelled by ways to consciously produce art in places that aren't generally thought of as sites for art, and tulip has a particularly interesting perspective coming to makeup from a painting background. I haven't worn anything beyond lipstick and the occasional eyeliner in years, but this has inspired me to consider breaking out the eyeshadow palette again...

      Ryan asked:

      Have you played with WebC? Like a lot of 11ty stuff they're not super well documented, but they seem like a good way to do code reuse without having to send JS to the browser (unlike web components or HTMX or things like that). I recently ported my blog over and while there's some weirdness that I had to get over, they're a good experience overall.

      I haven't seen this, and it does look pretty cool. I appreciate a take on the web component idea that's legitimately built around running on the server and sending down normal HTML. That said, while I'm also not a huge fan of web components as a dev pattern either. I tend to pass a bunch of parameters to my components and that's intrinsically kind of messy with HTML.

      I'm also rotating in my mind the possibility of pulling some of my embed logic out into re-usable packages, and if I do that I'd like to make them as general-purpose as possible. The less I can lock them into the Eleventy ecosystem, the happier I am, and this seems very tightly bound to 11ty.

      Inhaling Dread

      An orange sky from indoors
      detailed image description

      A photo inside a building looking out at a parking lot and sky. The sky is shockingly, saturatedly orange. The inside of the building is clear lit in a white bordering on austere.

      On September 9th, in the height of COVID lockdowns, I woke up and quickly concluded that 2020 had reached climax and the world was ending. Naturally, I had to go into the office that day.

      The above photo from that day is untouched, I haven't even fixed the small cropping complaints I have with it, the orange was even more saturated in person. It's probably the best photo I've taken. This was the sky the entire San Francisco Bay area woke up to; our entire world cast in an orange light, unable to see the sun.

      I had to bike over two rather large hills to get to my job's soon to be abandoned office to clear my desk's personal items, in a timeslot I had signed up for a month prior to minimize my COVID exposure to colleagues. Of course business MUST proceed as usual, even when every fiber of my being is screaming at me that this is an emergency. Fortunately the air at ground level was, counter to everyone's instincts, pristine. You could do a full cardio routine outside and be fine. The danger was impending, literally looming overhead, suspended by air currents, but not quite touching us yet.

      The attitude in the office was... Distraught. Myself and three other colleagues were emptying our desks, picking our way through bins of electronics to find hardware we might've found ourselves needing after six months of work suffusing our homes. What few conversations we had felt like both parties were gently dissociated, everything about our situation seeming so surreal and alien that there was no way it was as close as it felt. The first human contact I'd had in months and we couldn't even find the words to be kind to each other, we were too scared.

      On my way out through the lobby I looked south and saw the view above. I won't pretend to have instantly recognized all the meaning and parallels I've found in it about that day and year. I took a minute to line up the photo before getting back on my bike and hauling ass home. The air started to have the occasional hint of smoke in it, I had to book it before the danger reached ground level.
