I’m so blind right now it’s humbling. My vision is not great uncorrected, but this reminds me at least I can correct it. Vision is my favorite sense. I love looking at stuff. Now, I can only see my phone. Barely. It’s scary. But at least I know it will pass and I’m so greatful

My officemate has had unpacked boxes piled around her desk since we moved in in January. I told her I could unpack and settle it and she was fine with that. I did that this morning and she still hasn't noticed. 😂 I'm not going to say a thing and keep track of how long it takes.

In the great library packing, the movers have gotten to the packing of oversized books. They have special boxes. The rest of the books just get bankers boxes. They’re gonna be jealous.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

I love curling, but count me a shocked that that was one of the teams to actually say something. Good for them
This Super Bowl is what it feels like driving/transiting around the Bay Area. All of the billboards are AI this and “digital business solutions” that. It’s nauseating
