Okay here’s my mission:

Finish my ENTIRE todo list in the next 6 months.

This means:
- I have to get very clear on what “finished” looks like for each project
- I’m not allowed to take on any new projects I’ve not already committed to (even if it was mentioned)
Accidentally typed “their” for “there” two days ago and it’s still haunting me.

Hey guys, my aunt's school in Montego Bay was devastated by Hurricane Melissa.

This school is a safe haven for children with special needs and we need your help to rebuild. Every donation counts.

IN TWENTY TWENTY FIVE, I have to HUNT FOR and EMAIL a company to unsubscribe to their monthly sub that they offered a SEAMLESS sign up process for?!?!

What in the dark pattern roach motel nonsense is that?!

You deserve a SWIFT DEATH, #clonewebx #softlite!

Doing a little research project. If you could build your ideal music player, what would it do differently from the major streaming players? I personally feel that spotify, tidal, etc are not designed for people who fit the "curator" archetype. Curious to hear what you think.

I have no idea why I pay for a music subscription. I listen to the same maybe 20+ paylists/albums over and over and I get real upset when they try to intro me to new music.

I really should just go back to having a personal cloud library I can sync between devices.

The "jokes" and general callousness in response to the Epst*in emails just affirms my belief that the gulf between survivors of sexual violence and those who aren't / or otherwise do not recognize their experiences as violent is WIDE.

I've been at this digital workspace / tech productivity thing a while and it's constantly remained true that getting the most out of a few tools pays off so much more than getting a little out of many.

Why is iOS26 sooo bad?!

I updated to 26.1 thinking it would have some improvements but its actually worse.

When I tell strangers I don’t want kids, they balk at the idea. Some of them (particularly men) get extremely upset about it.

Yet my friends who have kids all tell me what misery it is and that I should avoid them at all costs.

Wonder who I should listen to…

Lost my LinkedIn Games 100+ day streak because of Hurricane Melissa and now my heart isn't in it anymore. I don't have the will to start over.

Bring back not having long private conversations on the phone in enclosed public spaces.

Bring back etiquette.

For normal people, Melissa means impromptu vacation days. For me, it means working my *ss off on the weekend so I hopefully don't fall too far behind if I have to miss a couple days.

AI has claimed the em dash? Who cares. I've moved on. I'm all about the BUSINESS SEMICOLON now. I'm putting semicolons everywhere. Emails, subject lines, headlines. You thought you were getting a comma or a period? Guess what, you're getting both.

I only have 10 pages left in a notebook. I can't believe I('ve almost) used the entire thing without abandoning it halfway for a shinier newer model!

I'm cured! #adhd #adhdmeds

And when you tell it that it’s wrong, it agrees immediately…even if it isn’t. That’s the scary part.

Wait, WHAT?!
Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

iOS 26 is objectively one of the ugliest UIs I have ever seen in my life.

Apple, fix it!

I can't say the word reading without saying it like Helen in Death Becomes Her (the play, not the movie...but I still love the movie).
