Being in a car with people who have road rage.

Groan.

My kid woke up in the morning, and decided to cuddle before he was fully awake. He rested his head on my belly, and casually said, “I hear your stomach making poop.” #morningroast

Tried padel today and can now confidently say I suck at it. 😂

I've unlocked a new life mission: figure out how to perfect the actual black forest cake! No one seems to be doing it right!

Been a while since I posted #astrophotography: here's the Heart Nebula, one of my favorite parts of the night sky (I say that about a lot of the sky though) 60x180s exposures (3 hours) with a Ha/Hb/OIII narrowband filter, from Bortle-5 upstate New York. On AstroBin: app.astrobin.com/i/lll3xa?r=B

So overwhelmed I’m on autopilot. Doing everything I need to but the mind is blank, feelings foggy. Just me and my to-do list.

Things you should never do to introverts: 1. Show up to our homes unexpectedly. 2. Interrupt our recharge time. 3. Invite people to the outing without telling us. 4. Call us right after we texted you. 5. Ask us “why are you so quiet?”

Nooooooooooooo 💔 That sound you hear is the hearts of millions of women of a certain age shattering. What a beautiful man he was. #RobertRedford www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Showed these jokers of mine the Charlie bit my finger video because they’d never seen it and now they’re trying to enact the whole thing. With MY fingers 😒

High-flying jokers! #kites #photography #distractions

Ah the joy of missing out! #bliss

Introverts find joy in the simplest moments. Curling up with a good book, savoring a cup of tea, enjoying the quiet, daydreaming by the window, and peaceful walks. These little things bring peace and fulfillment. It's the beauty in the ordinary that truly matters.

Silent Nights At last I’m blessed with quiet time To sort loud unapologetic thoughts But I’m afraid to confront my mind To discover the logic that it holds. #poetry #meditation

Watched Phantom Thread and I’m not entirely sure I understood the plot…

Why does a solitary commute on a crowded tram feel more peaceful than a quiet room? Strange kind of therapy.

Took me two whole days to figure out how the shower in the hotel room works. #realproblems

They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

Phantom Bite Something bit me. I hope it’s a mosquito. Or maybe the sting’s just in my head. A phantom itch, a jolt incognito, Tiny echoes of bothers, long since fled. Either way, I’m itchy. I want to be in bed. #morepoems #quickpoems #poetry #thesesuck

Peaceful work tunes. open.spotify.com/track/1eDy2A...

A good ol’ phone drop on the face, While doomscrolling on the bed, To knock some sense about this pace, of banality rendering the mind dead. #quickpoems #poetry

TIL how to log out of Netflix with the remote on (older?) TVs that don’t give a logout option: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up Turns out it’s also the Konami Code, which I didn’t know about because I’m not a gamer.

A salesperson locked eyes and started the fastest ‘casual walk’. I literally bolted away like it was the 100m finals. He looked flabbergasted. For once, I felt victorious. The draining small talk, the guilt of rejecting them, or ending up with something I don’t need—today I escaped all of it.

青空！

Listening to ugly songs in a foreign language so I’ll be morose enough to have the will to stay up and finish some work is not a dumb strategy.

Passing familiar places and roads you’ve shared with people you’ve known all your life or loved only to realize they’re no longer here, is one of the loneliest feelings ever. Sometimes it feels like a curse to have lived in the same place forever. But it’s also home, and I can’t imagine leaving.

Adam Sandler is such a star!

Social media makes it look like everyone around my age is having a midlife crisis.

Way too many things to do. So little time.

Let’s brush our teeth just in case, because we can’t remember if we already did and burn the pants kind of morning.

Amazing weekend, lovely people but my bed wins tonight. After surviving a lightless van ride that felt like a spin cycle, home never looked so good.

It's so pleasant to be able to scroll on here and not endure a barrage of targeted ads 😵‍💫

Boys’ school concert: The “girl” in the skit was so real… until she spoke. I lost it 😂

If you loved an author’s book, tell them! They will completely ignore it because they’re fixated forever on the anonymous person who once gave them two stars on goodreads but it’s probably good for your karma

So you settle for a bowl of upgraded instant ramen with a cup of tea! #whenmydogeatsmydelivery

One of those “my dog ate my Uber Eats after a 90-minute wait” kind of days.
