does anyone want to be duolingo friends? 🥺👉👈

these yearly recaps are getting out of control. just give me my recap of all the nasty fanfics i read this year.

nothing, not even being thrown out of my house, will keep me from my fucking duolingo streak.

Y'all thought you were safe?

honestly, me. artichokes? pass me the milk, baby. soup for dinner? milk. pizza? not enough dairy, need milk. although, i didn't learn until much later that my mom was only buying skim. so, really, idfk what that says about me.

Who up thinking they getting uglier at an alarming rate

From time to time in Los Angeles I meet people who were involved in the Nakatomi business. They always find this time of year difficult.

those electronic traffic signs above a major highway celebrate indigenous peoples day longer than anything else.

my lil 'ol man is having a sleepover at the ER right now. here's an old photo of him sitting proudly in his new carrier. 🥹 please send a positive thought out into the karmic ether, if you can spare one. 🫶 each day my tank gets a little lighter, so if you can't, i totally get it. ❤️ love u

it boggles my mind that boston doesn't have better vegan options. every random restaurant i've been to in philly has at least one or two vegan options.

The latest Cloudflare and Amazon outages have got me thinking about utilities. We can't build modern software without dependencies. The days of running entirely on the client are over, which I see as a good thing. The cost is that we rely on infrastructure. 1/5

You never get bus replacement rail services do you

it's so insulting to simultaneously be a co-PI on this biometric study, the grant admin for an entire college, and the research lab's manager and still get patronized about not ensuring the conference table was wiped down. let me get right on that.

nothin like a good 'ol fashioned Sunday wake n bake.

Good Saturday 🍂 #SaturdayVibes @pexelsofficial.bsky.social

I can tell my humors are really outta whack this morning.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

happy Re-Animator day to all who celebrate

in exchange for kowtowing to their every whim --defending the sex binary, removing any accommodations for mental health, etc.-- the WH has invited 9 universities to apply for a "compact of academic excellence" to receive increased overhead payments & additional federal grants. this is bleak, y'all.

love my director who is so painfully self-absorbed that she asks me to prioritize purchasing a DESK BELL for her personal study, instead of managing the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of grants that i'm currently working on. 🛎️

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that
