Husb and I hate DFW so much we call it The Dallas Configuration.

My toddler was eating a burrito and her hair kept falling in her face. I told her a hair clip would help her eat her burrito. She started using a hair clip as a spoon to dig the beans out of her burrito. One of us is a genius.

not sure what this says about me but more than once I have bought myself shorts only to be told later that what I am wearing is a swimsuit.

is she, you know... a chao gardener

@solomonrdavid.bsky.social gar continue to be full of surprises!

I am one of the few [living] virtual boy stans and the new cardboard virtual boy thing for switch is the best way to experience my favorite* cursed console.

oh man its a good feeling when you are 99% sure you lost your wallet but then you do find it! what a rush.

Last night's fireflies. There's a cold snap coming, so I don't know how much longer this'll last. 🐛

Happy International Horseshoe Crab Appreciation Day!!! 💖

I think the best joke my husband has ever made was when the group chat discovered that mud dauber wasps ate two things nectar from flowers the liquified innards of spiders and we were so surprised by this contrast, but husb remarked, agitated “Well God forbid a woman have a balanced diet!”

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

Shrimp.

someone finally pushed back after I said "cromulent" in a professional setting.

sleeping with ear plugs has been such a good move. between a cat and a kid I have a house that can be noisy at night. even if I am home alone I have gotten to wear I sleep with them in. My days can be over stimulating so the sensory deprivation feels gooooood.

A southern bapist ranting to me, their only jewish friend, about mormons making their own bible. And I said how dare they make a new testament!

I didn’t have a pony in the race beyond enjoying watching the alien play. What a great playoff season and finals. Some amazing basketball was played. The Knicks are such obvious champions, congrats NY!

As much as traffic is going to be nightmare for me in Arlington, TX, I've so far been absolutely charmed by Reels and TikToks from visitors from all over going apeshit over Texas BBQ and Mexican food and the Stockyards. America and Texas are nothing without its diverse cultural markers.

the entire point of life is to be kind and weird btw

Is there a rule about the spurs not being allow to score in the fourth quarter? Am i out of the loop on something?

Doodling a baby quail tonight 🪶 #art

Happy no cook Friday to all who celebrate!

The “add 30 seconds” button on the microwave should also work with the timer. Free billion dollar idea.

Brownsville is such a let down of a name for the southern most Texas city. However, Matamoros is a banger of a name for a border town.

It is such a specific bummer when you cook a meal and it comes out badly.

when I was a young man, traveling abroad for the first time. I ordered streak frit at a cafe in France thinking it would be steak fries. I was shocked and not disappointed with what actually arrived on the plate. I kinda can't believe steak and fries is a popular dish. It seems borderline American.

my yard has hella fireflies so it ain’t all bad

I follow some CRT related subreddits and one my favorite types of posts is 20 somethings who don’t actually have memories of using tube TVs discovering how great CRTs were.

Lockhart is such a good name for a small town in Texas. Just S tier naming right there.

We know Bender is evil because of the electric shock in episode 1. But why is Flexo also evil?

I feel like Europe gets to much credit for their urbanism. It's easy to have a walkable city when your street system was literally designed 800 years ago by Romans on horseback. All the buildings are going to be walking distance because someone had to carry the bricks on foot.

Millennial Dr. Frankenstein like “so, I made a thing”

mangroves are important for fish stocks too, making them kind of an easy layup as conservation projects

My last Mario 64 painting is done

Giant native sunflower says trans rights!

I’ll show this to Pinball and see if he approves! Thank you @tallfroguy.bsky.social @hazelmonforton.com

is it just me or do the “start from the beginning” buttons on streaming platforms never work?

oh THESE are the adventures of the starship enterprise?

when I'm god emperor I'm banning monk fruit and stevia. there is no place for these weird uncanny sweeteners on my Arrakis.

I would like to have words with whoever sent my kid home with a jar of play doh without my knowledge. We can discuss this decision while they help me get it out of the living room carpet.

I thought I was doing something wrong with the laundry. I realized my toddlers blankets are not shrinking, she is growing.

I have an automatic distrust for any clothing brand with ads. as a result I have no idea where or how to buy clothes.

the americas having hummingbirds is proof that we are the superior set of continents

I just realized if I go to England I need to tell then I’m originally from Birmingham.

real ones leave the husk on when they eat the tamale

I think I'm a forward thinking progressive dude, then I talk to someone from vermont and see that im dick cheney compared to them.

Me: what happened to your pants? Toddler: oh I take them off because I home. Dada says I have to wear pants to school but I home. 😤

This month marks 20 years since the International Chiptune Resistance World Tour kicked off at a converted underground Victorian public toilet in London, and would subsequently take @bit.shifter.net and I through 20 cities in 9 countries over the next 4 weeks. ⚠️ THREAD INCOMING ⚠️
