Nice to see @Blot get a mention in the latest Dense Discovery https://www.densediscovery.com/archive/

She’s 100% sweet and totally irresistable. Where do I sign!?

A friend is fostering a 3-year-old Burnese/Border Collie mix rescued from some amateur puppy mill. She’s coming to hang out with us for the weekend (the dog, not the friend). If all goes well, we may ask to adopt her.

I need to remove two or more of these from my daily toolbox: TheBrain, DEVONthink, Tinderbox, Evernote, Emacs. Using all of them is unsustainable and exhausting.

Oh neat, MarsEdit is now in SetApp! https://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/

Using Apple Pay on websites fails for me as often as it works. “Can’t find Apple Watch” or some other error. Today it tried verifying via my phone, said “Done!” but the order was never created. Just me?

Bunch, by Brett Terpstra, is “a batch app launcher for your Dock.” https://brettterpstra.com/2019/05/14/bunch-a-batch-app-launcher-for-your-dock/

Oh never mind. Micro.blog's magic failed anyway.
