i’m counting down the days until my LO gets her first MMR shot 😞 it’s such a stressful time to have a baby! These people don’t care what they’re inflicting on other people!

(I just wish ribombee, my favorite, made the cut)

design aesthetics change over time and that’s ok! but cmon, gen 1 is easily the least cute

Gen 1 is like 30 years old why are we still nostalgia baiting in 2026 😭😭😭 at least gen iii has some good representation but man it feels like later gens barely get any love :/

crazy how I didn’t know Pokopia existed until today and now I’m considering getting a switch 2! Babies really take you out huh

it appears I’ve put off reading Judith Butler long enough

kinda crazy that whitmire lost his dem endorsement in part over campaigning for a guy that would go on to lose his primary lmao

Mind you, babies can get it early in cases of *international travel* (I think it requires an extra booster later on?) but because a bunch of privileged people forgot how bad it gets, we’re doing defensive vaxxing now I guess 😬

grandma’s over here like “it’s just so many shots so my granddaughter’s not getting any” meanwhile I’m over here counting down the days until my baby can get the mmr vax 🫠

But I’m like “yes, all of them”. and because anti vaxxers need reminders that their actions affect other vulnerable people (like the sweet baby you’re cooing over), I added: “and if we get a measles outbreak here, we may get that shot early”

and maybe the only reason she brought it up is because we were talking about natural birth and I was raving about my doula, so maybe I was giving crunchy vibes?

got my first “did you give her vaccines?” question while out with my baby 🙃 🧵

Houston, what are we doing

Vacancies in my building in my tony neighborhood have increasingly been filled by families that are lower income or even on vouchers as new housing downtown has lured upper-middle income families and singles away. Before the building boom, wealthier people would line up to get in my older apt.

Use color filters to put your phone in gray scale! Everything gets less attention-grabbing

remember when voting machines were physically comfortable? Bring back the dial knobs and buttons! I shouldn’t have to do romanian deadlifts to prep my lower back for voting

Can you make swiss merengue with honey? Should I add cinnamon to the icing? idk I just feel corn should be a more popular dessert flavor! @ usda hire me

it came to me in a vision: corn-flavored yellow cake with a honey swiss merengue buttercream icing

do you think the Analog company (a company that makes cute tote bags) is raking it in now that analog bags are trending

Did I miss it or did he forget Belize? Cause my mom and I were like

belize always di get lef out lmao. But regardless, such a fun show!

saving my steven universe rewatch for when my baby’s old enough to get it 😌 and yes I will be singing along!

Two people riding bikes in Amsterdam. One says “if anyone proposed this in my town I’d kill them”

it’s time. I finally ordered a rice cooker because I’ve decided I’ve burned rice for the last time

I’m on the fence about school cell phone bans but I feel like I’d be all in if they had a dumb phone exception

imagine if MAHA types directed their energy to like, tailpipe emissions and tire microplastics

I really want to write a video essay about it! I’d be sooo pedantic tho bc I refuse to call it “AI art”. Let me coin like “AI-generated artistic emulations” or something lol. in the mean time you can always send me something you’re unsure about!

The smoothness is a big tell for the hyperreal digital painting types, but I’ve seen some emulate simple line-art/ sketches and the tell for me is that I just don’t think a human hand would have made certain pen marks

It’s hard to explain without examples but I always look for brushstrokes! also leaves, hair strands, and design embellishments are usually a tell. There’s a difference btwn AI sloppiness, beginner sloppiness, and advanced abstraction/shortcuts/laziness

why is it so hard to find unscented non-pod dishwasher detergent 😭 Why does dishwasher detergent even come with scents like the last thing I want on my dishes is any sort of scent
