Coffee maker decided to quit on me this morning, but we found this fun guy in our bed. So maybe I don't need coffee just yet. CW arachnid (scale is in cm).

• Spider safely contained behind some plastic. I'm not sure of the variety, but appears to be the kind that likes to roam around and hunt (e.g. a wolf spider). Anyway, scared the bejesus out of me. (Don't worry. We released the spider back outside.) (remote)

@blithe No one thing. News I've read just this week: Zooey Zephyr getting banned, after the attempted expulsions in TN. U.S. House cutting services to people instead of cutting tax breaks to the rich. Continued anti-trans frenzy across the U.S. etc.

I really dislike the button reading "Publish" when sending a DM on Mastodon.

It always makes me question if I'm really sending a DM or if I'm accidentally "publishing" something on my regular feed.
