Kicked off 2026 by going on a run and listening to the latest episode of the Friendship Material podcast with @cygnoir (https://social.lol/@cygnoir) and @keenan (https://social.lol/@keenan). Dip a sandwich!

Got my 2025 year in review blog post up before the new year. Amazing! Here's to 2026 being a better year. https://aubreysambor.com/2025-year-in-review/

Last day of using two planners before fully switching to my 2026 Hobonichi Weeks tomorrow. Nothing feels better than finishing one planner and starting a fresh new one. #hobonichi

A plant I bought a little over 6 years ago to celebrate getting the job I was laid off from in March is on its last legs and I’m so sad. I suppose it’s fitting, but it’s sad just the same.

Today I turned 45 and spent the day with my sister’s in-laws. I got cake and it was delightful. Oh yeah, and it was that other holiday too, but I like remembering my birthday first and foremost.

Spent this Christmas Eve / the day before my birthday getting my nails painted a glittery red, then treating myself to a sushi lunch. Now I’m home watching the snow fall and I’m feeling nice and cozy.

All right, I’ll bite. @FediTree (https://masto.es/@FediTree)

How I can tell it's been a rough year: I haven't been posting either here or on my blog, and I haven't wanted to listen to music in months. I want to change these now so here I am, posting! May 2026 be way, way better.

Today I ran a 5k without stopping to walk for the first time in years and while I’m not fast by any stretch of the imagination, I’m still proud of myself. Those hills were no joke!

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk, "What a Front of the Front End Developer Brings to Your Team”, at @nedcamp.bsky.social this past Saturday! You can find my slides and resource links at noti.st/starshaped/z.... #nedcamp #nedcamp2025

Time to call out two blog posts by fellow AI skeptics that I enjoyed reading today, in case you feel the same way about AI as I do: https://gomakethings.com/the-ai-mandate/ by @cferdinandi (https://mastodon.social/@cferdinandi) https://blog.varn.dev/2025/10/14/why-you-mad-ai-bro.html by @hotsauce

a web that isn't human-first is a web I want nothing to do with. I'm not going to "optimize the graph" of assertions, or whatever. I'm not a content farm for your algorithm. i'm here to build real relationships with real people - and if that's not what the web is for anymore, I'll be somewhere else.

My website is for humans, and I don't want Google's AI ramen localghost.dev/blog/this-we...
