To the goblin who moved my headphones somewhere "safe" and "memorable"... I will need them for my flight. Please put them somewhere visible so I can find them again. Thanks.

isn't it wild how we actually live in a world with cyberpsychosis, but instead of being able to get cybernetic limbs it comes from a chat program that "yes ands" too hard

Y'all. I finally cleaned up my desktop back to a single row of icons.

Did I have time to do this? No.

That said.... I feel better now.

Do we include songs he wrote, but did not perform? 🤔

I'm in either way.

Starting off the new year with great conversations about Community, Quality, and Advocacy.

My content wish-list is far longer than my bandwidth will allow which implies immediate burnout, but damn it... I'm excited for things on the horizon!

This beautiful boy crossed the rainbow bridge today. MacLeod was my sister's cat, but we lived together for so long he taught my boys how to open doors and find the tallest perch in the house. He was the bestest boy.

Love em while they are with you. We do not deserve these blessings.

Not sure I would call this series light, but maybe in comparison. ☺️

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

#DnD advice: Take a short rest after every fight to stay in tip-top shape; the rest of the dungeon can wait.

When you put up your slack away message for the holiday and realize you have to change it because "See You Next Tuesday" has a different meaning...

Happy holidays, friends. I'll be back online next Tuesday. 🤭

If this were me I would only have to make 66 of them. 😂
They are adorable though!

Oh good... It's not just me.

When my Dutch apple pie gets rave reviews:

Dear streaming services,
Please add a "I will never be interested in this, so stop suggesting it" button.

I'd also like to be able to share recommendations.

Kthxbai.

Repotted 17 house plants yesterday for a grand total 19 plants crammed onto my office desk and peripherals because I haven't put up any of my shelves.

Currently writing course work on how variable scopes work in a jungle. 🥰

Apparently my QA superpower is knowing when web contrast ratios and spacing are too low for WCAG standards.
I've always been sensitive to color, but damn I love being right when those Lighthouse reports come in.

My news feed has informed me that laptops are now being made with Blu-ray and dvd drives!
What will they think of next? Maybe we can have computers that live under your desk that you don't have to carry around... 🤔

I don't want to alarm anyone, but I only have 7 tabs open in Chrome right now.

I see no problem here. 😁

I think about this tweet a lot. Especially lately.

How do you balance chores, errands, work, career building side projects, relationships, and basic bio functions like food and sleep?

I'm not dating and don't have kids, so I don't have that excuse, but also don't have any one to share the responsibility and I'm tuckered.

Works on my machine.
