Remember iPegs? No you don’t—it’s been gone from the App Store for 10 years. It was hard to find the time to work on this, but I finally committed to rewriting and re-releasing it.
Lots of new features, and no longer free, but if you know me, reach out! I’m giving it away to my colleagues.

No, it’s vitameatavegamin. Fits the quackery better than actual drugs. This schmuck seems limitless in his ignorance and malevolence.
Trump: "Asceda -- well, let's see how we say that. Ascenem -- enophin. Acetaminophen. Is that okay?"

Got a vaccine this morning that knocked me over (shingles vaccines are no joke). Hanging on the couch is pretty nice with some company though.

This guy (girl? Not up on owl sexes) sat there for an hour and a half, grooming his feathers and looking majestic. I hear him every night, but this is the first time I’ve see our resident great horned owl.

"How about John Doe? Seems pretty common."

I've been missing for a while here. It's because I can't bring myself to post pet pictures when every day brings a new disaster somewhere. I'm also hesitant to post about that, because I'm too angry to be civil about it. [Insert string of curses here.] Instead, I'll share something else in 🧵

My first snorkeling expedition was not a success. Did not find Nemo, did get water in my ears. At least my paws were nice and cool.

I thought I’d share how I train Pippin not to do something, which has proved pretty successful:
1. Shoo pippin away gently
2. Repeat every few minutes until it works (it won’t) or until you’re tired of it
3. Convince yourself that it’s actually fine that Pippin does it
4. Declare victory
