This is me. Apologies to everyone I interact with.

I made a doll. All I can see are the irregular, seams, asymmetric face, and sparse hair wefts. I told 🐥 that if it split down the middle I'd sew them a better doll and 🐥 insists it'd have to look exactly like this one because this one is perfect. Kids are awesome.

My child apparently likes to make potpourri bags filled with pompoms, buttons, water bottle caps, small toys, and oh hey! That's where all my kitchen bag clips, command strips, and batteries have gone.

It's my own fault for not having done this before, but in my defense I wanted early warning of a Kaiju attack. Settings -> Notifications -> scroll to bottom

Wow I guess I have just not been paying any attention for at least 2 years. This is really cool, and apparently I also missed the news that OpenSSH had been supporting FIDO2 auth since 2020. yubico.com/blog/github-now-s…

We're only 6 days into October.

Now there’s several bags of trash just sitting in my garage until the skunk breaks off its siege of our bins.

🐥 told us that since they only ate one of the half dozen donuts we bought today, they couldn’t be sure the others were safe to eat. They graciously offered to take a bite or three of each of the other donuts “to make sure they don’t have poison. To keep you safe, Mom and Dad”.

Pretty sure it’s the presence, not the shape, of your parasitic abdominal crustacean that’s the problem.

Unexpected and yet, upon reflection, 100% expected outcome: 🦆: Let's watch a show that will teach us more about food! 5 minutes into watching "Waffles and Mochi"... 🐥: Mom, I want a strawberry mochi RIGHT NOW. <cue meltdown>

Wow this is a really good explanation of the difference between empathy and sympathy. youtu.be/1Evwgu369Jw

🐥 is watching a Magic Schoolbus episode about DNS and I find myself strangely invested.

Yay atmospheric river!! 🌧 ☔️ 🌧

Rain!!! 🌧 ☔️

🐥: Am I real or am I pretend? 🦆: Interesting question! Do you think anyone is real? 🐥: You are 🦆: I think you’re real. If neither you or other people can tell whether or not… 🐥: So hold the bucket 🦆: What? 🐥: Real people hold buckets 🦆: … 🐥: Just hold the bucket Mommy

Had dream yesterday that I was baking/assembling a chiffon layer cake, but I was unable to find the us-west1 layer and the asia-east1 layer deflated.

Just discovered Anna Holmwood’s translation of Legend of Condor Heroes! So excited to actually be able to read the series I basically grew up on! (My parents would read me the Chinese version - also grew up watching the 1984 TVB version of Return of Condor Heroes.)
