I have very little tolerance for people with no respect for my boundaries. Pile on general stupidity (in the literal definition) and any tolerance left goes away. Stir that together in a work organization that demands constant (and near daily) "number go up," and that mixture becomes a threat.

Damn. The strange shapes people twist others into in order to justify stupid shit is stunning. So much damage to their ego would occur if they just though, "maybe I'm wrong, and just being an asshole."

"Nah, it must be all these other people who are all wrong, instead of me..."

Sunday is a great day for some "make ahead" plans for the week. Last week it was a pot of red beans to go with rice. This week it's a pot of gumbo made with a leftover smoked chicken. #CajunCooking

This is the first year I have truly struggled with the grass, and I'm hating it.

At work, I share my thoughts about how people should avoid the trap of "motivation," versus "discipline," in the context of delivering on a task, and yet I rely on fleeting "motivation" for many personal creative projects.

Why didn’t “86” mean assassinate when Maga wrote it about Joe Biden?

Lessons from the years: Don't bend over directly towards a toilet bowl when something is in your shirt pocket, or if you're wearing sunglasses or glasses on the top of your head.

I haven't clicked on any links about it, but the headlines are full of Republican outrage accusing someone else of SOMETHING THEY CONSTANTLY DO.

Won't someone rid me of this troublesome priest?

I love the fact that whenever I start to do something around the house or in the kitchen, I have a couple of cats who want to find out what’s going on.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Credit to Puzzle agency, original information from Veronica With Four Eyes and veroniiiica dot com

I almost always say "Happy <day of the week>" to my team when I get on calls/chats with them. I almost always forget what day of the week it actually is.

If the Pope had tea with Vance, or fell out of a window, that would be true-to-form for a Russian asset.

After the floors were vacuumed, all the cat toys got piled up on the rug. One of my cats has decided she is a queen of the pile, and is using the pineapple as her pillow. #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #BabyPics
