This is from June 12, 2017, but:
- It’s new to me
- It might be new to you
- It’s a brilliant idea
- It’s what I’m doing if and when the opportunity presents itself

Tweet of the day
I’m sprucing up my home office, starting with a little wall decor, as you can see in the photo above. I’m now working under the watchful eye — and arms — of “El Pulpo” (Spanish for “the octopus”).
Here’s a closer look at El Pulpo:
El Pulpo is a creation of a local artist, Maykel Medina, who creates gorgeous ocean- and seaside-themed art, all of which you can find at his gallery, Maykel Fine Art, in St. Pete:
If you like beach themes and artwork you’re not going to find anywhere else, contact Maykel (the gallery is by appointment only)!
He’s got a lot of gorgeous stuff, and he was very friendly and helpful, making sure that El Pulpo was safely wrapped up for us to take it home. I’m sure that El Pulpo won’t be our last purchase there.
Here’s your regular reminder that to at least double-check your work, or better yet, have an automated assistant or human editor do it. They could catch things that you might have missed.

DipShantis logic
- Not really a governor, but an authoritarian performance artist for an audience of one (who “fucking hates” him)
- Not really smart, but has that canny cleverness of a squirrel at an amusement park enticing visitors to feed him
- Has the next best thing to a personality: a set of responses to specific stimuli
- Less worried about public health because there are underfed kids to starve and transgender kids to stop from playing sports
Here’s a treat for those of you who:
- played Dungeons and Dragons, or
- grew up with Ukrainian/Russian folk tales
…it’s Baba Yaga’s Little Book of Hut Maintenance (or, Chicken Legs for the Soul), an upcoming book of illustrations of Baba Yaga, the scariest witch in the woods.
There’s a Facebook page where the author posts updates where you can see new illustrations now and again. Check it out!
