I could give you a specific name, but she's a good friend and I don't want to doxx myself. πŸ˜‚ But the firm itself is very good.

Inhabit. Any of the agents are good.

I love how it now apparently takes 2-3 weeks for the USPS to carry a letter from NC to KY. I could physically walk it there quicker.

Daylight saving time: everything's the same, just an hour earlier.

My body: best I can do is stay up until 3am and sleep until 1:30pm.

Not like the platform was ever perfect anyway.

Listen, I'm an elder millennial. Digital migration is in my DNA. I've seen bulletin boards, Yahoo! chat rooms, ICQ, Fark, Digg and Google Reader all die. I've traveled from reddit to Twitter to Bluesky. If I have to pick up again and move, I'll move.

Please, PLEASE. I'll take anywhere in the EU.

Then I stayed up until 2am sewing. Just a bundle of good decisions today.

Me: I shouldn't be sewing, I should be making dinner.

Me: Well are you going to make dinner then?

Me: No, I think I'll just sit here and doom scroll for 45 minutes.

I won’t be satisfied until a Tom Holland challenges TimothΓ©e Chamalet to a dance off and ballets him into the Shadow Realm.

Not me setting up a motherfucking system of equations to figure out how much ruffled trim I can get out of this leftover fabric.

My 15yo's phone gets non-stop spam calls and texts. Several an hour. They don't even know their phone number, so it's not like they got themselves on a list.

Ironically, the patch adhesive would probably trigger dermatitis in me. I seem to react to all the skin adhesives. 😝

I was like, how would they figure out you're allergic to that?! But then apparently it's really common, like maybe 10% of people react to it? So frustrating. 😫 Why do they even use it?

Beeswax would suck for me, I'm so sorry. I'm up to my elbows in beeswax at this moment from waxing/sealing my new heddle loom, and I use it to condition my threads while hand sewing. 😭

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Maternal grandfather was a computer programmer for IBM before you had to have a college degree to do that. He worked his way to middle management.

Paternal grandfather worked security for IBM, but also worked a saw mill, was a carpenter, and drove trucks.

Guess how my parents met?

a tweet from the Nazi/Child Porn Website made by perennial douche bag hack Jesse Singal reads: "The level of misinformation spread by me about youth gender medicine, because I have a professional stake in it, is really pathetic."

There. I fixed it. (you're welcome!)

I feel like I've used up my quota of parenting my teen today. As such, for each additional instance of parenting, there will be a surcharge.

As someone with a physics and education degree, I feel like this is my area of specialty.

It's funny because this is like the original concept for Splatoon.
