I’m tempted to purchase The Stud Desk for my LEGO collections. It fits perfectly with my Tiny Home lifestyle, allowing me to work from the kitchen table, the living room, or the porch using my new seating arrangement… Hmm.
My cozy seating setup on my porch. I love it.
I love the tiny house. I would love to have large windows and skylights around the house. They are filled with wood walls—magical. Oh, there’s a big window by the bed! I love everything. Check them out. These are my favorite photos.

I was sitting under the porch and saw our dog, Tinkerbell, looking down at me! How adorable!
This was posted on Trump’s personal Truth Social account — an AI-generated image of himself holding an assault rifle in front of burning rubble, threatening Iran over nuclear negotiations.
Reagan used tough talk. Both Bushes fought actual wars. Not one of them thought this was presidential.
No previous American president behaved like this. Not one.
I read a blog about websites built by AI. Not surprised. I bet it hits 75% by 2030. Maybe sooner.
I used to hand-code HTML and CSS — hours, days, sometimes weeks. Now Claude helps me build my micro.blog in 30–40 minutes. AI catches errors in seconds that used to take me forever. I have no shame in using AI to save my time.
The Internet Archive data shows the web transformed in three years after ChatGPT’s launch from zero AI content to more than one-third. We’re seeing the fastest shift in internet composition since the web began.
Do you use AI for your own web projects?
I am in awe as I watch this massive wave crash onto the land, and then a rainbow appears. It is simply beautiful to see.
After reading about Leviticus, I’m absolutely watching this.
“a tightly conceived, gripping queer horror that reaches for unassuming brilliance through a supernatural premise that’s as terrifying as it is thematically relevant.”
Conversion therapy is abusive — full stop. No one should ever be put through that. It’s already happening in real lives.
Horror feels like exactly the right genre for it. Not because it’s entertainment, but because it’s honest. I will admit that this won’t be an easy watch.
On my watchlist: Leviticus 🍿

TIL about that word: Ghorbat. It is a Persian term signifying the state of being a stranger, alienation, or homesickness, often describing the emotional pain of being far from home.
Ghorbat runs through Persian poetry the way longing runs through blues music, not as a subject that appears now and then but as the key in which everything is written. Centuries of invasion and exile carved the word into the language. The poetry evolved to hold the things displaced people could not take with them.
I remembered watching Michael giving his best performance of Thriller on TV when I was 7 years old! I was like, “Ohh my that looked scary!” I also happened to own Michael doll with the famous red jacket. I wonder where it was. Hmm. Anyway, the movie trailer looks good.
On my watchlist: Michael 🍿
Watched: Jeanne du Barry last week.
It’s a beautiful watch, but watching the court refuse to acknowledge her is hard to look away from. Louis loved her, but even he couldn’t hold back what was coming. Once he was gone, so was her place in that world.
“That young woman is my entourage.” — King Louis XV
The Marie Antoinette thread got me too. She refused to speak to Jeanne for years, and when she finally did, it was just one brief exchange.
