A young corn field ringed by a bare dirt margin, framed by dark maple branches overhead and tall grass in the foreground, under a blue sky with scattered clouds. — undefined - 3 Jul, 2026 at 3:31 PM

A broad old maple shading an overgrown stone wall, orange daylilies poking through the underbrush, sunlit lawn in front. — undefined - 3 Jul, 2026 at 3:39 PM

An echeveria bloom stalk arcing red flowers across the frame, shot from the porch furniture with stepping stones, lawn, and the brick farmhouse wall behind. — undefined - 3 Jul, 2026 at 8:32 PM

Rain-slicked deck boards in the foreground, orange daylilies and shrubs beyond, and a flat grey sky over the corn field. — undefined - 4 Jul, 2026 at 9:09 AM

I really want to like HyperTexting (an iOS app that will turn feeds into a scrollable social media interface), but when I first opened the app, it auto-subscribed me to 20+ feeds I have no interest in, and now the first post on the list is an ad to buy a sponsorship for their app.

I get that good software requires people to actually make money, but this is a little much for an app that hasn’t even shown me it’s worth using.

iOS screenshot of the HyperTexting app’s Timeline, showing a sponsored post — an advertisement from the verified @hypertexting.com account promoting their “Weekly Sponsorship Program.” The ad explains that advertisers can promote products to free users with text, links, images, audio, video, and PDF downloads, and that free users will see one sponsor per week, displayed once per day. Below the ad copy is a link preview card with a money bag emoji linking to hypertexting.com/sponsors.

Theo, a cream-coloured goldendoodle, sits on a lawn with his head tilted up, mouth open mid-bark at a green bird feeder hanging from a large tree. Behind him, an old moss-covered stone wall is overgrown with summer greenery. — Theo barking at the bird feeder - 5 Jul, 2026 at 6:37 PM

Theo stands on the lawn, looking at the camera with the bird feeder hanging behind him. A stone wall and dense green undergrowth fill the background. — Theo watching the bird feeder - 5 Jul, 2026 at 6:37 PM

Dan Tapper’s Visuals Projected on the Canada Malting Silos

I started reading the The Near Witch by V. E. Schwab tonight.

Cover of "Near Witch"

The Canada Malting silos at night with soft pink and cream cloud shapes projected onto the concrete facade. String lights and small crowds line the waterfront promenade below, their glow reflecting in the rippling water of the channel. — undefined - 2 Jul, 2026 at 9:44 PM

A title card projected onto the Canada Malting silos at night reading "Dan Tapper, Blastula Division, @visualcodepoetry", framed by glitchy magenta, cyan, and violet stripes that wrap around the building's edges. The waterfront below is lit with string lights, reflected in the dark water. — undefined - 2 Jul, 2026 at 9:44 PM

The Canada Malting silos covered in projected polka dots of pink, peach, violet, and green, scattered across the full facade like confetti. Trees and string lights line the promenade below, and a few silhouetted people watch from across the water. — undefined - 2 Jul, 2026 at 9:45 PM

A projection on the Canada Malting silos of green sprouting stems, red flares, scattered stars, and a white brain-like tangle of roots, resembling a glowing night garden. Silhouettes of people sit along the dock in the foreground, watching across the water. — undefined - 2 Jul, 2026 at 9:46 PM

A dense clump of chamomile with white daisy-like flowers bursting from a crack where brick pavers meet asphalt, growing around the base of a metal signpost. Scattered weeds and a crumpled paper napkin surround it, and the plant casts a lacy shadow across the pavement in bright sunlight. — undefined - 2 Jul, 2026 at 10:11 AM

I finished watching season 4 of You’re the Worst.

You're the Worst (Season 4)

A mural painted on a garage door in a brick laneway garage, depicting a scene from My Neighbour Totoro: Satsuki and Mei nap on the belly of a large sleeping Totoro in a forest clearing, while the small blue and white Totoros gather around them. The mural is signed "Kirby." Graffiti tags mark the siding and brick on either side, and a cracked laneway runs in front. — undefined - 1 Jul, 2026 at 11:32 AM
