I ordered an horchata milkshake (pronounced "orchata"), but they heard "chocolate milkshake" and made that instead. Apparently, I need to put the "HOR" in horchata. 🤣 😭
I saw this and hurried to read the alt text. 😂
This WhatsApp screen: Yes, we want to empower you to have more security, except not really. lolz. Tbf, options are available in the mobile app, just not the desktop app. But also, fix this or add a message telling folks where to go. #badux

kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.
I’ve watched A LOT of Josh Johnson this year and this is one really resonated: AI, tech capitalism, betrayal, middle schoolers. But I also LOL’d several times. Definitely one of the best shows this year youtu.be/qKUvNkNlvCM?...

Before today, I can't remember the last time I spoke to a receptionist. I almost forgot what to say lol. The person wasn't there, so she asked if I wanted to leave a message. It felt weird to dictate a message to a human. So I just made it more weird and said "nah, I'll just reply to her email" 🫠
I didn’t think we could pull this off! And it really was a lot of fun. I miss those days! 🥹 Happy birthday!!
Happy 20th anniversary to the absolute best birthday party a ska kid could ever hope for. I will never ever forget how much fun I had & how much love I felt. Thanks @soysaucechin.bsky.social for throwing it & thanks @pietasters.bsky.social Steve & a few others for surprising me with a few songs. :)
Oh hai! A baby possum is growing up in our backyard. 🥹 We have a baby skunk somewhere but I wasn’t trying to take a pic of them with a flash 🤣
It’s a miracle! 🤩 After two years, they filled several dozen potholes in my neighborhood! Who do I have to thank?!
It was so great seeing this in person! Thank you for closing out #IAC25
Got my first standing ovation ever after giving the closing keynote at @theiaconf.bsky.social Thank you all so much. This was truly humbling.
At SFO and it’s too early to be in public. I’ve already gotten 3rd degree burns from spilling my coffee on my hands. 🫠
I combined the words “break” and “snacks” and told @flaxenhaircynic.bsky.social that for #iac25 we were getting hard boiled eggs for the “snakes” 🐍🐍🐍 - as a co-chair I’m trying to keep things exciting!

When you're in pain, the last thing you want to deal with is health insurance issues. JUST SAYIN 😑
Probably spent way too much time fine tuning @theiaconf.bsky.social’s discord server today in prep for #iac25. But I got to do a lot of information architecting for a conference on information architecture, so I kinda loved it. 😅
Omg don’t get me started! Last weekend I tried to understand how the Smithsonian was funded, governed, etc and learned more than I wanted to know. I started archiving snapshots of URLs to the wayback machine in a panic.
I can’t believe MD pulled off that W! Sweet 16 here we come!! 🏀
