my hipster streak is always slightly offended when people act surprised that i'm quite a good speaker lol. i'm like i am silly and dramatic and on top of my shit, did we not think these skills would transfer?

going to a wedding after you've been married for a year really hits different like it's so beautiful to see another bride experience the highs that you did and just enjoy all the love around her, it's so nice

got harassed and followed today by some shitty dude in my neighborhood and it's bumming me the hell out. tell me something nice that happened to you today.

oh fuck me there's a movie getting made about sam altman? the AI bros are going to be somehow even more insufferable after this

if you unironically use apple's numbers app/excel wannabe app i just wanna talk (what is wrong with u)

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

i love my beautiful kitty so much. he is small and so nice.

nothing is more deeply cringe to me than people posting 'what chatgpt thinks of me' on linkedin. i'm like my brother in christ do you know it's literally programmed to be a sycophantic kiss-ass?! like chatgpt was never gonna say anything less than glowing things about you, how do u not know that

i don't want to work i want to snuggle my beautiful kitty who is sleeping so nice in the sun

it's always hilarious to me when tech bros online salivate over Meta's engineering culture as if that isn't one of the most singularly evil products in the world to work on. Nothing turns my luddite brain on more than companies whose profits depend on exploiting weaknesses in human brain activity.

also it's taken awhile but my husband and i have developed a really good habit of thanking each other for everything 'thanks for doing the dishes, ' 'thanks for cooking' and today he texted me 'thanks for handling the AC guys' and man it's just so nice to feel appreciated for little stuff like that

girl help my pet project at work got bigger than i thought it would and now suddenly the COO and CRO know about it and were involved in approving its expansion, i didn't think they knew i existed

i truly mean this in the nicest way, i think engineers are so freaking adorable, they will do things like 'here is this toy db i spun up over the weekend hahaha' and it's like extremely cool shit that i couldn't build in a month

me psyching myself up to write: you are what you repeatedly do you are what you repeatedly do you are what you repeatedly do you are what you repeatedly do you are what you repeatedly do you are what you repeatedly do you are what you repeatedly do you are what you repeatedly do you are what you rep

i am a morning person and my husband is not, he often thinks i wish he was a morning person. false! if he were a morning person how would i enjoy his bleary-eyed expression and cute scrunched up face in the mornings! riddle me that!

girl help my little pet project at work is blowing upp (in a good way) and it's becoming much bigger than i thought it would be. have i girlbossed too close to the sun?!

sometimes when i'm having an existential crisis sort of day i have the horrible urge to say i love you to everyone i talk to. and it's because it's sort of true. when i feel the cold grip of impending death i do love everyone i talk to. human relationships are a miracle and im lucky to have them

the real fantasy of writing and reading romance novels is living in the world of characters working jobs that could in no way support their livelihood IRL but in the world of the romance novel? They're fine, just frugal

i finally took the leap and chopped & propped my white princess philodendron. she's very tall and growing off of her moss pole straight up into the air and the moss pole was unsteady as is because philos need such chunky soil anyways. but i've been reticent to chop & prop her bc

hey guys i wrote an online course learn.getdbt.com/courses/canv...

my god. i finally found a chia pudding i'll eat. frozen raspberries, microwaved a bit (1 m) so you can mush em up into a jam, 2 tbsp chia seeds, and just a little honey stirred in. then refrigerated. this rocks

hey guys anyone wanna guess what UC health charged my insurance for my surgery? i'll spoil it, $72,000. want to know what i'm responsible for? it's a fun mystery!!!!! that's the neat part, i still haven't gotten a bill

so....i'm gonna go full luddite with it and get off substack. i have never seen a platform degrade into enshittified 'thought leadershippy' half-smart bullshit as quickly as substack did. i kinda just want to host my own blog posts and stuff. the lack of in built analytics is gonna suck but

lol turns out spotify restricted access to their track analysis api unless ur fancy and have an app that 'serves their business needs' which is not my data goblinry. putting my side project down for the night lol this is too frustrating

for some reason playing with the spotify api is great distraction from my post-op pain

fucking hilarious content from spotify's api: Please note that you can not use the Spotify Platform or any Spotify Content to train a machine learning or AI model or otherwise ingesting Spotify Content into a machine learning or AI model.

hahaaha the first genre spotify pulled: ['deathcore', 'death metal', 'metal', 'metalcore'] the influence of marrying a metalhead

i gotta say, marrying someone who loves live music as much as me is not at all a 'criterion' i had when i was dating. but it's one of those things i'm so glad we happened to have in common. my husband and i go to at least an average of 2 shows a month year-round, sometimes more often than that.

y'know what, i think it'll just be better to add a genre tag to all my song data and show genre play count changing over time.....this means i gotta go spelunking in the spotify api

i want to show how my music taste evolves over time, starting in simple ways with showing my top album year over year, top artist, top songs, and how those compare, because the artist who wrote my top album is not often also my top artist. but the problem is it's hard to show a categorical value

post op woes: I have concert tickets for Lucy Dacus on Monday and I probably will not have enough stamina to stay the whole time. But her likely final encore song is my favorite song of hers. :(

wait lightdash pushing my dbt descriptions to the chart interface is really nice i gotta say :D

tfw when you violently switch your preferences from movie soundtracks to pop-punk

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

just got the lightdash cli up and running independently on my new laptop. no ai assistance required :D

this was not the year for me to be involved in MDS fest, I am currently 10 days post-op and mostly feeling good in the mornings, and in the afternoons i feel like a withered old crone. lmao. but i can play BG3 and listen to some #databs while i'm at it let's gooo

@kellyburdine.bsky.social about to bump your MDS Fest replay talk rn--always love the wisdom of the Wellthy squad. also why isn't MDS fest on Bsky?! #databs

i work hard so i can have financial security before my genetics completely disable me because this fucking country does not want you to be able to live if you're disabled. like the questions i've had to answer to take medical leave have been beyond invasive.

gotta say, if you want to feel totally dehumanized and gaslit over the severity of your own medical condition, go on short term disability! UNUM's whole process will leave you feeling like a cost-saving line item in no time!!

as god as my witness stanley tucci is my father, i am allowed to decide these things, we are not related but both my parents are dead so i'm legally allowed to choose a new dad and it's stanley tucci

Also plowing thru TV shows I don't usually have tons of time for so here's those:

it's day 4 post-op, here's all the movies i have watched in the thread

until May 27th this is officially a shitposting account, i'm on medical leave recovering from a planned and can't do much. but i would like to be silly and goofy online so you have been warned. don't worry it'll be funny shitposting not unprofessional.

Y'all I'm doing a thing:

recent commit message: HAHAHAHA SPOTIFY DATA git add .git add .

anyways i'm working on the whole 'getting to know my neighbors' thing. it's going ok so far, i have joined an improv theater and have met quite a few of them that way! still working on joining my neighborhood association, the meetings tend to be old ppl friendly not working pros.

and i just put a hold on yellowjackets season 2 from my local library.

hey guys not to flex but i got lightdash's cli working and i'm having a good time. i am usually not much of a command line enjoyer...like i can figure it out but this CLI i'm actually having fun with so yayyyyyyyyyyy

i feel like i kinda get the appeal of terraform now. me do not want to click around to boot up an ec2 instance, provision a db, or boot up compute on azure too or shut down and spin up envs. me want to put all that in code and do it repeatably. me do not want to click, hard to remember right clicks
