β€œYou know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

My father was an electrician for 26 years and when I went through his things after he died I found a receipt from a gas station with four 25Β’ Reese’s Cups and a can of Skoal.

Remember when we solved childhood poverty in 2021 and then just…stopped?

It’s a crushing responsibility to have to keep my parents alive by never deleting their voicemails from my phone.

This video (1 of 2) is really nuanced about the different kinds of harm that were done in this situation and some ways it could have been better. 🩷

I’m so sorry you (and the collective β€œyou” as well) are having to deal with the additional layer of that kind of stress.

Paul Ford, who does not know me, advised me not to pay for a coding bootcamp, a thing I probably should have paid him a coding bootcamp amount of money for.

Screenshot of an ad on Pandora. A vaguely grungy brown background, a header that says, β€œMessage From Pandora Alternative.” A dark blue circle in the center has a chunky font that reads, β€œCIGARETTE MOM ROCK.” The text is annoyingly off center like there’s an extra space in there or something. A white button at the bottom reads β€œTap Now to Listen.”
