For shits and gigs, I asked ChatGPT to create a "Career Day" presentation for when I talk at Oldest's career day at school. The end result was very promising. I can see why AI will soon take my job.

Title slide that says "Career Day: Being a Lawyer" cut off with random text that says "Law is all around us!"

On top of everything else about living in Texas in 2025, why does it still have to be 90 fucking degrees every day?

Check on your friends who hate summer. They're not okay.

As someone pretty familiar with service/retail...yes, I'd bet this is it. Simply put, overhead is a LOT more than it has been.

Forever finding my happy place cooking dinner alone, singing along loudly (poorly) to music, and drinking a glass of wine.

Amazing how becoming a parent absolutely changes your perspective on this and unconditional love

J.J. @jdotj.bsky.social · 3d

Love to anyone for whom today is a celebration, an opportunity, or you’re still waiting for the right time to live your life as you want. Take your time. We’ll be here for you when it’s right for you.

WHETHER YOU CAME OUT TODAY, YESTERDAY, OR STILL NEED SOME TIME, WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOU, WE CELEBRATE YOU, WE'RE PROUD OF YOU, AND WE LOVE YOU.

Same people who said Kamala lost because there was too much of a focus on "trans issues," like erasing someone's identity is okay in the grand scheme of things

Me: “Lewis Hamilton talking about Roscoe and how everyone was so upset for him made me cry.”

Oldest: “Mom - the new Taylor Swift album made you cry. It’s not a high bar.”

If anyone has that guy, it’s BlueSky and he’ll chime in with a solid “well, actually,” soon.
