Gosh, I think I met you for the first time about 8 years ago, and I certainly think you live with a great clarity about who you are, in my experience!

The U is now digital first, for instance. Most students do not even get physical books unless they pay extra.
(not endorsing this, just reporting it)

I think there's a really big tension between accessibility expectations of students and administration and the sorts of things that would prevent AI use.

They should take it back away for $5 a month, lol

Thanks Debs. Excited to read it!

I work with 18-22 year olds which for the most part keeps me young, but also means I'm ground zero for noticing the ways in which they're annoying 😆

I'd say I'm a no/yes/yes/mostly/yes on this one.

I did a great job of this in my 30s. Started writing, started gardening, did 95% of the biking I've ever done after age 30. Hope there's more in store for me!

The night before I turned 30 I drunkenly cut the netting out of a camp chair's cupholder so I could shove a drinking horn full of double IPA into it.

To put a finer point on it and show my hand, I am not a parent, but think there's a good chance I become a parent in the next decade, but I do not really want the good parent advice yet. So I don't know, if you have advice on how to approach my middle aging with a lot of possibilities ahead of me...

Anyone have good readings or advice on how to turn 40 gracefully/be a good 40-something/etc?

The ladies all love Dan Patch poster

This is fucking sick. That horse is a damemagnet.

Poor man's Allen Edmonds. Nothing wrong with it!

Probably all that practice she did with my finger on Sunday. Big W for Big G.

I turned up the brightness a bit on my laptop.

Strangely, I could notice it better if I didn't look directly at it? Like, I can't perceive the colors, but I could perceive the seam?

Ooh, that was fun

I'm going to stop you after your first 6 words.

They should put Sy Ableman in Balatro.

Tall and red all the time still I can't believe the son is mine

It's catching on, Derz!

Don't let Senator Foghorn Leghorn deceive you -- your enjoyment of this website triples when you give it a whimsical name that doesn't sound like a halfway house.

Hell yeah, the blooski pronunciation is now in the congressional record.

It's very funny to me when politicians bios are like "Wife. Mom. US Senator." Like ma'am, which one of those three identities do you think is most likely to bring me here, to your mentions.

My biggest challenge is getting direct sun. Backyard is mostly shaded by houses and neighboring garages.

I forgot that wormwood was perennial and I was surprised to find a bit of green sprouting up already. More for the morningglories to choke the everloving fuck out of in a couple months.

Wish my yard was a bit bigger. Feel like I could garden up a storm this year.

AWWW YEAHHHHHH

I saw someone yelling about how a venture capitalist CEO means they'll introduce ads and like... how exactly do you think this website will operate in perpetuity with no revenue model?
