Yeah same on the 401(k) so I have perhaps "too much" in the HSA (because I have had that), hence this plan

More history made today at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships. Mao Shimada made history as the first skater in any discipline to win 4 consecutive World junior titles. Hana Bath made history as the first Australian to win a medal in the women's event. Both women landed triple Axels! ⛸️

The only book where I put up with 2nd person POV was the 2nd book of the Locked Tomb series and I only did that because the first book was *SO GOOD* and I was told there was a specific justified reason for the 2nd person (there *was*, it *did* pay off, and now on re-read I can handle it)

I rode it once! It was definitely less safe than a ride at a traveling fair! It’s a little tunnel with multicolored led lights. There’s no emergency exits! Truly believe that if there’s a fire, anyone trapped inside would die!

Quite a thread here 🧡

Opening the links for further reading.

But mostly I just can't stop thinking "What are we even doing here, folks?"

Big tech companies want us dumb and dependent on their products.

Expecting this to somewhat break the internet.
With all the media appearances she's been getting, just doesn't have the time to get ready for Prague.
Also, Alysa Liu is spent.
Hope we see her next season, if she chooses to continue her resurrected career.

Two Switch 1s, a Switch 1 Lite, and a Switch 2 on an ottoman, with my husband's hands on the cooler Switch 1 (the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom OLED one, which is mine), and the menu on that Switch is instructing him to bring that Switch closer to the Switch 2, which it is almost touching.

Okay, finally. After getting all four Switches physically together, logging into my Nintendo account twice on the family Switch, once on the Switch 2, and then transferring the virtual cartridge from his Switch Lite to my Switch, I can now play a game we own... for two weeks πŸ˜‚

Live footage of the two of us trying to figure out which two Switches should be connected to each of our accounts in order to play a single game.

I was going to start playing Harvestella but I cannot borrow the virtual game cartridge from my husband because... we own *too many* Switch systems?

I have yet to use my personal Switch for a single game because our family Switch and our Switch 2 are both under my profile. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

a man in a red jacket stands next to a girl in a red dress and says hi to her Alt: A little girl stretches her arms out like expecting a hug and says "hi" to a very uncomfortable looking Captain Picard. He's not good with kids, you see, which is why he asked for Commander Riker to be assigned to the Enterprise, because Riker is quite good with children, or at least with Wesley, in the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Encounter at Farpoint," a show/episode which premiered just days after my 1st birthday.

Bwahahahaha I am still a little baby child πŸ˜‚

I have never found anyone older than me whose parents met on the internet, so until someone comes forward to prove me wrong, I was the first baby born of parents who met online.

two months at a cabin in the woods with a bunch of books and good writing utensils and premade meals and no real work and also no mosquitoes while i'm dreaming would fix me

the thing i keep trying to say lately in my songs seems to be:

- community is not frictionless
- if we're not careful we slide into frictionless solo experiences
- but community is worth the friction
- and we belong to each other
- so let's do the work to find it, make it, keep it, celebrate it

Reminder to everyone job searching to triple check job listings, email addresses, and employee names on LinkedIn/company websites. Job scammers are getting really in-depth with how they try and trick you.

I've just had a fake job listing slip through my own double check system and it sucks. :)

Tax Planning: 2026 Free Money! Like you, I'm a normal person trying to make sense of our infinitely complex U.S. tax code.

Perhaps too complicated to write all out here, but plan to:
- Drain HSA first since inheritance rules on that suck
- Withdraw or convert Trad accounts up to ~ Free Money threshold www.millionaireeducator.com/tax-planning...
- Then tap Roth IRAs

Probably will need to tweak for health insurance

Trying to finish up The Boys in the Boat for a book club that meets next Friday.

I do not appreciate Libby's estimate that it will take me 18 more weeks to do this. Not cool.

Just gonna put this out there: I'm very, very keen to find part or full time work in editorial, communications, PR, or community management!

While I want to keep working as a freelance journalist, I really need to step back from freelance content writing and find work in an adjacent industry.

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…
