A small thing that's kind of my personal big deal example of how much parenthood can change things for a person:

I have NEVER, EVER, been so comfortable with stillness as I am holding my newborn son next to me.

hey just some quick feedback. the groceries -> cooking -> washing up loop feels too tight, it’s like I’ve only cooked a few times before I have to start over again. it’s a reliable resource sink for sure but it would be great to not have to do it so often. can we do a tuning pass

i dunno man i talk to strangers and have random encounters with people all the time, it's just that people who are interested and happy to engage in that tend to flag that they are and will respond warmly to conversation in the correct context naturally rather than being browbeat into it skill issue

"An rpg book can be usable or it can be fun to read." You'd think the drama would be the worst thing about it, but it's actually when the line goes uncontested. The response should be, "Why not both?"

Tabletop rpg design is plagued with either-or fallacies. "A book can be usable at the table, or it can be fun to read," is just one of them.

I had to tell a naturalized citizen that this administration is deporting naturalized citizens. Had to pull it up on my phone to prove it.

Anyway, liberal democracy cannot survive this amount of media fragmentation. In the end, a stupid app will have broken y’all’s grand experiment.
I've started trying to inject even small things about what's going on into daily interactions to gauge how much folks know, and lord there's just no visibility to even the mildly awful bits. Cursed by knowledge.

The library is the only place that Americans experience the fullness of what it means to remove goods from the market. It pings our consciousness. Hey we could love differently!
Internet friends, I understand if you are green with envy at me for attending this great talk last night!

"Who's afraid of libraries?" was the rhetorical opener and I loved the point (among many) that libraries are where things are free. "a CVS looks really weird after you've been to the library."
A rainy Monday night. A rusty writer/speaker. A full house. An enthusiastic discussion.

I left with a bottle of brown.

Thank you, Durham Public Library, all the Tre-yonce fans, and #LibraryFest25.

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵
