Thinking of getting a DBA I'm good friends with a custom shirt that says, "SQL on the streets, Excel in the sheets" What do you guys think?

My family of nerds. #nerds #starwars

If there is this. Meaning you and I don't know if the us was a truth brought on by circumstance or happenstance... but it was a truth. and I will never let it lie. #poetry

I'm not napping at my desk. I'm waiting for my code to compile. #codeShenanigans

(kg/cubic meter) What choices are these Which laugh in Frost's face - I find Ev'ry path led here.

Rubble, Not Ashes There are betrayals That require more than just fire. My anger explodes. #poetry #Haiku

Just had a random woman smile at me unprompted as I was dropping my car off at the shop. Twice! I'm gonna ride this high all day.

What Secrets Hold the Night at Bay? Silence as night falls. The embers of days passing ignites dark passions. #poetry #Haiku

The Moment Leaves spiral downward; the lesson of sakura - Ev'rywhere I look. #poetry #Haiku

Like a stubborn bloom Living in cracks of concrete You cannot kill hope. #poetry #Haiku Photo by Stockcake

Am I hopeful that Republicans will do the right thing surrounding the ACA tax credits and Medicaid cuts? Yes, in the same way that I hope that the end users for my app are not total idiots. There's a slim chance, but I had better prepare for the opposite.

So, what these 8 moderate Democrats (and Schumer, et al) are saying is that the last 40 days were for nothing? We're already going to primary Fetterman. I hope those in New Hampshire find their fortitude to change their senators as well.

"My patience SNAPs" I cannot fathom The sheer depths of your disdain For a child's hunger. #Haiku #poetry

I wish I had a girlfriend because I just want someone to tell me good job for not giving in to my love of lemon desserts and getting the lemon pie cookie from Crumbl. I mean...there are other reasons, but that one is pretty high on the list right now.

As a Democratic Socialist, Mamdani's overwhelming victory is worth celebrating, and can be repeated across the country if those old guard geriatric corporate puppets that are mainline Democrats can learn from this. Help or get the fuck out of the way.

$70 and 5 hours of driving (round trip) on a Saturday for ten minutes on display. The life of a marching band parent.

Choose wisely. #HappyHalloween

Really looking forward to @governorwalz.mn.gov announcing his run for the 2028 Presidential Election. Compassionate Ethical Leadership is what this country needs. (I know that he hasn't said anything about it, but a guy can hope)

Sorting outside my therapist's office eating a rotisserie chicken because I got busy at work and forgot to eat my lunch and left it in the work fridge for tomorrow and now I'm in the "cold sweats" phase of low blood sugar. Don't judge. It's been a hard week and it's only Monday. #Mondays

I swear,one of the worst parts about software development is after you solve a problem and have your algorithms ready to go, then you actually have to type it in. Especially when the same thing reiterates 15 times with a single variable change each time. #SoftwareDevBlues #SoftwareDevelopment

Getting ready to take my daughter to see RHPS for her first time tonight. Forgot how comfy fishnets can be. #RockyHorrorPictureShow

What is a throwaway line in a movie that lives rent free in your head? Mine is the little spiel that Tom Cruise gives in MI-3 where he explains that when someone taps their brakes in rush hour, you can see the ripple effect for 200 miles. I think of that every time I'm stuck in my commute.

I hate when I read a book that is right up my alley and realize that it's not a complete series and I have to wait for the next one to come out. At least the author is fairly prolific, and not pulling a G.R.R. Martin. Oh, it's a LitRPG series called The Unintended Cultivator, by Eric Dontigney.

It is patently ridiculous that one of the reasons why I will get fast food or take out is not because I don't have food at home. It is instead because I just want to pretend for a moment that somebody else is taking care of me.

Nothing makes me feel like I've succeeded more than when I see the spark of understanding in my daughter's eyes after we've spent time going over math she isn't sure of. Also, that was a long ass sentence.

Had a small leak at the therapy session today. It almost was ugly, but I managed to keep it together. Because that's what men do, right? Keep it together. (that's sarcasm, btw, and I'm looking forward to the day I trust myself enough to let it go. That's gonna be a day.)

I sometimes wonder about other adopted kids and if they ever felt the pressure to be "better" or a model kid, like you weren't allowed to have insecurities or express trauma or you might get sent back. Just me? Okay then. #adoptedkidthoughts

Having a 90s morning, reminiscing what it was like to be a kid growing up in a group home, listening to Jewel and making chocolate chip waffles for the other kids.

Taylor Swift's multiple versions of her vinyl and cds remind me of the comic book heyday in the 90s when every issue had six variant covers and you weren't a true fan unless you bought them all. Still, am I listening to The Life of a Showgirl? Yes. Yes I am.

Critical Role season 4 in 104 minutes. I didn't need to go to bed. Who needs sleep? I can sleep at my desk tomorrow!

Time to primary US Representative Jared Golden of Maine.

Number one cause of a traffic jam on your morning commute? State Trooper on the highway in front of you going the speed limit.

As someone who works for the federal government and will be impacted by the shutdown, I am okay with this as long as something good comes from it. I have about two months worth of savings, which I know makes me extremely blessed and fortunate, and I'm an essential worker, which is a two sided coin.

I should be asleep instead of pondering mortality and entertaining the ghosts who visit at 2 a.m. in all their Dickinson-ion glory. Thank Cthulhu for coffee because I'm going to be absolute rubbish at the 0830 sprint review

For as dirty as Afrasiabi did Sylvanas in BfA, that intro cinematic was pure molten fire and still gives me chills to this day. Although I maintain that Anduin did some bullshit hack to drop combat so he could cast mass rez.

Look, I'm sorry, but seeing serious serious news casters reading "If you read this, you are gay" and "notices bulge. OwO" is hilarious. And watching them misinterpret a Helldivers 2 meme. Also pretty hilarious. Aaaaanyway...

Oh no. Anyway. Also. I'm not celebrating, but I'm sure as fuck not going to mourn him.

Did I trim the bottoms of my vertical blinds on my back sliding door so the cats can bird watch while I maintain some privacy? Yes. Yes I did.

Last three visits to @BurgerKing were problematic (Drive thru wasn't working, no diet coke, no cookies) and despite reporting problems through the app, no response. Cashed out my points for a large diet coke and a bacon King with extra tomato and onion. Guess what. No tomato. App deleted. Bye, BK.

Just had a memory of when my mom made velveeta mac and cheese. I was eating it fast and my mom literally knocked me over backwards as she crammed spoonfuls in my mouth as I choked. Why? Because I was eating too fast for her taste. I'm not that fond of Velveeta anymore. #JustTherapyThings

So on Episode 8 of #OrphanBlack and it's a credit to this show and especially Tatiana's acting (like holy shit, I really believe that Sarah, Helena, et al, are their own people) that I haven't gone into the wiki hole for spoilers. Need to figure out who the showrunner is.

Just discovered #OrphanBlack Holy shit, it's good.

Watching the latest episode of #AlienEarth and it reminded me to make sure I talk about lab safety with my daughters. So many heebie jeebies.

Crispy Ranch tofu bites. Scout even said they're good.

Why shouldn't I use a blowtorch to light my own birthday candles? #happyBirthday

My daughters understand how my fandom intersects with my job. A Zoey programming duck? Yes please.

I always find it hilarious when Scout tells me she doesn't like a certain vegetable, but then, after I cook it a certain way, eats half of the bowl. Case in point: Brussels Sprouts. Halved, tossed with garlic infused olive oil and rough chopped bacon. Roasted at 425 F for a half hour.

I made this, much to the chagrin of my daughters. #kpdh

I wish things under capitalism didn't suffer from enshitification. @imgur.com, obviously. #fybd

Got the Elon email. DOGE is not in my chain of command, and neither is Elon. And if they want to know what I do, I'm going to need to see their SAAR before I release any information other than the most broad job description ever. See 18 U.S. Code § 798.
