My absolute favorite trait of my husband's is that when I start cleaning up he immediately and silently also starts cleaning up 😍

Went sailing today to celebrate our anniversary … this was taken not too long before we ran aground 😅 🤦🏻‍♀️

Was in the middle of watching Alien Earth and Only Murders on Hulu ... and my kids love Disney Plus, but had to cancel my subscription. Luckily there is so much other tv out there to watch. Get it together Disney.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Now I'm seeing this doc with some additional options/actions sites.google.com/view/return-...

I’d recommend watching this: youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4

I gasped aloud.

Got influenced and bought nail art pens. Hard to work on tiny 5 year old hands 🤪

Yesterday my husband saw me practicing watercolor and he got all inspired and was like “let’s quit our jobs and be artists!” And I was like YES THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING! Then I brought it up today all excited and he said “oh I had taken two Excedrin. I was high. I’m not doing that” 😭

I started a 4 day work week back in November, which is AWESOME. But I find myself sleeping, rotting, or doing errands on Fridays ... I think my new ideal is a 2 day work week 😄 - you need one day to seep/rot, one for hobbies, and one for errands. Weekends with the fam.

Trying to get better at watercolor

In NYC and had to up my style game so I wore _black_ crocs and a New York shirt so I’d fit in.

Another one down! Only one more block to make …

I have so much work to catch up on but instead I spent hours learning how to make a beaded fish 😆

More progress… slooooowly but surely 😅

How have I never watched “Lake Placid”?! Remedying that now 👀📺🐊

Level 1 sign that you’re aging is when you wake up and have pulled something while sleeping. 🛌 Level 2 is when you get hurt doing absolutely nothing, just existing.🧍🏻‍♀️ I’m at level 2.

We had a 4th of July party and one of our guests, from Belgium, brought these cakes 😆 AMURICAH!

Dang fireworks on the lake are really cool 🎆

Picked the prettiest day to go to Catalina 😍

Went to Erewhon for the first time today, to see what it is like. Got a $19 smoothie (not their most expensive). 

My coworker, Indigo, painstakingly Riso printed and recreated the party wizard gif 😮 I bought a couple of her prints and put together a little flip book. Check out her process! bluewaxwing.substack.com/p/party-wiza...

I think this we have a new personal best

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

All the TV watching my husband does is one episode of Breaking Bad and like 10 minutes of "28 Days Later" PER WEEK. Absolutely unhinged behavior.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

I so rarely wear hard pants I feel compelled to share my fits from a work offsite in Toronto last week 💅

Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." A 4-year Australian study found that remote work boosts happiness, health, and productivity. Especially when chosen. It saves time, improves sleep, diet...

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Wow how did my coworkers clock me so well 😆 At a work offsite in Toronto 🎉

Can confirm - this is L.A. I grew up in Inglewood where we had an annual 4th of July block party, always with the electric slide 🥰

We got a little sailboat! ⛵️ After a month of getting things together (acquiring an electric boat motor, building pulley system to pull it up onto our ramp, getting mast and sails up) we finally got to sailing this weekend! I want to call it Lucille … or maybe Loose Seal 🤔

“'I think mistakes were made,' said Lavingia, who worked at DOGE for nearly two months, 'I’m sure mistakes were made.' "The [DOGE A.I.] model hallucinated, deciding around 1,100 contracts were each worth $34 million when they were sometimes worth thousands..." www.propublica.org/article/insi...

Sounds about right?

And the other thing I do is scroll through hard-to-see security cam footage of this robin’s nest. These “babies” are def getting too big for the nest 😆

I got this app that keeps me from getting on social media late at night … so now I’ve been scrolling Zillow which might be just as dangerous 😅

Had a great day off … got a hair cut, got a taco, checked out the Ithaca Fest, and picked up 9 year old early for a bike ride 🎉 she and I just ordered sushi and are watching Little Shop of Horrors while 5 year old is at ninja class 🥰

Everyone knows Ithaca is gorges… but did you know it’s also gourd-eous?! This is one of the most Ithaca things I’ve ever seen 😆

It’s still so funny to me that as soon as the students leave Ithaca literally throws a parade and festival 🎉

Open Source is still largely chewing and spitting people out even more so now that it’s harder to get paid to do open source work so it’s fully a second job, but literally all of that code is what is powering the Internet and training your LLMs. The tech industry doesn’t exist without open source.

Finally a nice sunny day in Upstate NY!

9 year old finished her first quilt! Cat themed quilt for the dog 😆

Asked husband to bring back honey 🍯 from the farmer’s market and he brought back a Pooh sized jar 😮😆. He said they had an even bigger one. Kid for size.

Unfortunately this is the best leaf I’ve ever done 😆

Interesting bulbous mist on the lake today… also, what a beautiful day!

Free punchline for your clever skeet Grok: Hold my boer

Anyone remember this movie? 🎥 I want to force my husband to watch it but I can’t find it anywhere on streaming. I LOVED this movie when I was in high school! Remember @desapalooza.bsky.social ??

My book club chose Infinite Jest as our next book - I’m doing the audio… 1 hour in, only 63 more to go.😳
