#Discord isn't working properly on my Mac since updating to Sequoia 15.6. I can open it, I'll get notifications, but I can't click into any of the servers. Is anyone else having this issue? I have restarted my computer multiple times and just reinstalled the app. None of that has solved the issue.

My alarm is not set this morning and yet I wake up at 6am. Stupid.

“I’ll brew you a cup while I spill the tea.” Okay, Fisher Price. I see you.

It takes very little to make me giddy. Conditional formatting on Excel is one of those things.

June is coming to end, so is On Earth Peace’s 3000 Miles for Peace campaign. Consider donating before the end of the month! onearthpeace.racery.com/r/miles-for-... #Racery #oep #BrethrenThings

My daughter has had a fever four times. Three of the four times the fever started on a Monday. Weird. Case of the Mondays?

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

Took a bite of a cookie. It was stale. Threw the rest away. Grabbed some Goldfish to erase stale cookie taste. Also stale. Guess the universe is telling me to not snack tonight. Or reseal the sealable bag of Goldfish. 🙃

For possibly the first time in my life, I am *intentionally* watching an NBA finals game. (Go Pacers!)

All of my intentional movement is being dedicated to On Earth Peace this month. Support me and OEP! onearthpeace.racery.com/r/miles-for-...

Teachers of Bluesky! What interactive poll site do you like? I've really enjoyed Slido since it has a variety of options--word cloud, quiz, open ended answers, etc. But they keep limiting options to force you to pay for a membership. SO! What do you like?

I’ve been done with breastfeeding since mid-January, albeit not by my choice. My daughter just nuzzled my chest and I just got so sad.

The Supreme Court is pissing me off.

Flying Allegiant back from BEA. Paid for one of the seats up front. I…I think I have the row to myself. 😳🎉

I'm also completely out of practice with livetweeting a conference. It's hard when there's not a desktop app for Bluesky. (Or is there? Have I missed it being developed?) #BEAVegas

I never knew I'd be so envious of an LMS. Every time someone mentions what they can do with Canvas I get so sad we don't have it. #BEAVegas

I'm done breastfeeding, but let me tell you--I'm never going to stop wearing the Latched Mama mompers. Can they make non-breastfeeding ones? I love them so much. UnLatched Mama, if you will.

Got upgraded to first class on my United flight this morning. So this is how the other half live. I just wish the flight was longer to make better use of the upgrade. 🙃 BEA BOUND!

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

I just got an ad on Facebook for a women’s gym-themed subscription box. AND I’M TEMPTED. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?! Part of it is for the leggings and shirts.

My daughter smiles after she sneezes. Every time. I’m so glad she amuses herself.

Well, I guess my allegiance to Southwest is done. Assigned seating AND no free bag? You’re no different from other airlines. 🙄

I had my Magazine/Feature Writing class write a story about me; practicing interviewing skills & writing a feature story for the 1st time. I just graded them. Either they wrote nice things because I'm their professor, or they actually like me. That was a nice pick-me-up after a hard year post-baby

You do have to have permits to have protests on public property (except in certain spaces). But if a permit is given, the protest is not illegal. I’m just afraid the permits will become restricted.

Serious question. Are White House employees not federal employees? Are they also not on probation right now as they have been in their positions for less than a year? Are they classified differently? Why did they not get fired? (I honestly don’t know and am genuinely curious.)

The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

Dear Mitch McConnell. While I appreciate you finally saying "No" to some of Trump's antics, it's too little too late. You've had YEARS to do something about this. Yet you wait until you are retiring to stand up.

Why is it so satisfying to run a pen out of ink?

Turned off Apple Intelligence on my phone. I didn’t care if it existed except for the stupid email summaries that were incomplete and wrong. Also, if you updated and mail badge number is wrong, you can fix that under Mail Notifications in settings. It defaults to “primary” badges only. Stupid.

Why do girls only get to play flag football?

Just registered for BEA! Excited to return after missing last year's conference (first missed in almost a decade). See y'all in Vegas! :D

The worst part about being in the Communication department is marketers thinking I'm in the Marketing & Communications department and trying to sell me things for the college.

BREAKING: Representatives of Elon Musk’s “DOGE” have gotten into the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where they have accessed key payment and contracting systems.

Just got an email from a publisher asking about fall textbooks and offering desk copies. It's hilarious they think I've put even an iota of thought into Fall 2025.

We changed insurance plans and created a dependent care fsa for 2025. I was a bit anxious what my take home pay would be (nervous it would be lower). I’m happy to announce it’s a whole $2 higher! Partyyyyy!

Opening the AP Stylebook to the exact entry I needed is a sign that today will be okay. I hope.

Everyday during the winter I put my winter hat in my coat sleeve. I then forget, everyday, that I did that and try to put my coat on and find my hat. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Dear Zoom, I do not need all of the “how to use zoom” emails. I am not new to zoom, I just no longer have access to my institutional license after this semester. (Rawr.)

OMG OMG OMG! What a great way to leave office President Biden.

Currently glued to the news about TikTok...makes concentrating on planning for next week's class hard.

Zoe keeps picking things up and accidentally dropping them on her head/face. Like her pacifier. It’s become a thing lately. She hurts herself like once a day.

I don't know the last time I bought lead for my mechanical pencils...and yet they somehow always have lead in them. Are there little magical creatures that jump backpack to backpack filling pencils?
