Anyone can shop on days the store is open, but people who buy a $75 annual membership have access to the store anytime they choose. There are also six-month and three-month memberships.
This is really cool.

More Beatrix news; she was cast as “The Love Terminator” in the student written and directed student one-act plays in her school’s Spring Showcase and yes it is our new favorite nickname for her (replacing The Puny Puritan) and no she could not have been better type-cast.
Still wrapping my head around the fact that this is Beatrix’s last week in middle school. Especially because, due to the pandemic, this is the only full year she’s had in person.
Class of 2026 seemed so far away when she started. Now, seems so close.
Very proud of Beatrix, age 14 for her blind contour art making it into her school’s annual art and lit publication. Front page, too!

Quicksilver — macOS at your Fingertips
Have I mentioned that Quicksilver is under the stewardship of a new developer? Have I mentioned it’s been updated and is still fantastic? No? Now I have.

“To me, the definition of hell is simple: it is a place where there is no understanding and no compassion. We have all been there. We are acquainted with hell’s heat, and we know that hell is in need of compassion. If there is compassion, then hell ceases to be hell. You can generate this compassion yourself. If you can bring a little compassion to this place, a little bit of understanding, it ceases to be hell. Hell is here, all around us. Your practice consists in generating compassion and understanding and transforming the suffering around us.”
