Consolidating the remaining parts of the household into smaller and smaller spaces means now I get to do homework while watching my daughter slowly rotate during her nap.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

“Hey man did you get QA to sign off?” Gigan @gigansprogress.bsky.social · 2d

A throughline in every federal worker I've talked to this year is how they feel like a total mark for their service and work over the years up to this point, and the ones that don't are retiring soon

If you're in the DMV, go to Streetcar 82. It's genuinely one of the best breweries I have been to, anywhere in the world, and the atmosphere is great. It's a real community space, and they've been chill about my shit ASL and so kind as I've practiced, while also serving the boldest beers I've had.

Spending the evening with friends and giving our favorite local hangout spot their flowers which involved typing a long message and me studiously practicing ASL for "your beers are our favorite" because signing "your brewery is amazing and you are clearly not cowards" was way above my skill level

Tweet from JoshMLabelle that reads: We've assembled 100 people with
ADHD and 5 people with no soft skills to manage them, and given them a simple goal: make an impossible amount of money. We call it the games industry, and we think it's going to work great

I don't think I can emphasize enough how much of a big deal this is in the UK. If I recall correctly, having a non-Christian chaplain in uniform has previously only happened twice.

Groundbreaking! The UK Armed Forces has sworn in its first-ever humanist pastoral carer – Dr Neil Weddell. This means thousands of non-religious service personnel will have access to like-minded pastoral support that genuinely reflects their values and worldview. 🧵

The weirdest thing I craved while pregnant was pickled herring. Straight up cryIng in an IKEA parking lot until we walked outta there with the mustard style.

I don't like herring, but damn, sometimes it just hits right.
