Uber driver was listening to hip hop when he pulled up, but changed the station to a maroon five mega mix when I got in.

Not sure how I feel about this…

Dear end user
Sure, I could have replaced your computer for you but since you had to be all “I-know-better-than-the-tech” I guess we’re going to have to exhaust every known software troubleshooting step in the Merriam Webster dictionary first

Oops 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ll be the first to admit to being a filthy #Apple apologist but even I can’t defend the xOS 26 updates. Everything is so buggy and some of the design choices are just plain bad.

In all my years working there / being in the ecosystem I have never genuinely disliked a redesign / new major version.

Fun travel hack, most captive public wifi networks (the ones that make you sign up with your email to connect) can’t check for email validity so … give em a fake one.

Waiting at the gate at #mco heading to #dragoncon, some hero’s carry-on is a giant arbok plushie. Absolute legend.

So excited for my first dragoncon!!

some days I’m still in awe at how incredibly powerful modern tech is for creatives.

I get there’s a lot of complex issues around IT these days. but being able to shoot on my DSLR, upload and edit the photos right from my phone-iPad and post them / share them in a few mins is incredible

My best friend got me sucked into Magic the Gathering (Final Fantasy) for the first time in my life in 2025, and now i'm frothing at the mouth for the Avatar set coming up

Ed Sheeran having the #1 song in Mumbai today wasn’t on my bingo card (but once I listened to Sapphire I totally got it).

My top music so far this year is bad bunny, Taylor swift, and instrumental fantasy sleep music.

I’m not taking any questions at this time.

I think America in general deserves criticism and scrutiny for what’s happening here. but I also hope the rest of the world is willing to recognize that many of us are trying to do what we can to resist this insanity

Not all of us are brainwashed. I recognize sadly that enough of us are. Too many

Why did I wake up this morning to my brain wanting to solve complex math problems?

No, baby girl. It’s Saturday. Stop that.

This week I review Atlas of the Heart by the iconic Brené Brown. If you’ve ever struggled to explain your feelings or thoughts, Atlas defines 87 emotions and experiences to help give readers the vocabulary to express themselves thoughtfully!

When I left grad school to take care of my dying father, the expansion of Medicaid allowed me to get medical care (including mental health care for grief, after he passed) during that time. I could not have fulfilled a work requirement. And I was in a better position than most Medicaid recipients.

I love that “the death of the artisan class” was an answer to “why has human fashion gotten less cunty over time”

This is happening! I’m stoked. Should be ready soon, just trying to get a backlog of articles ready to go but I’m really excited to share this project !
Thinking about starting a Substack to get in the groove of writing again, just trying to figure out what I want to focus on.

I’ve been reading a lot of books and watching a documentaries so I wonder if that might a fun focus - responses and reviews

Thoughts? #writing #documentaries #booksky

Doing some research for a blog I'm writing and … it really bothers me that this study includes the estimated loss of productivity in monetary value due to #depression and #anxiety.

It just feels icky to put a price tag on mental health like that? Maybe I’m missing the point
