When they found a better planet, only the gentle survived
It’s been a rough end of 2024, with my husband getting an emergency appendectomy the day after Christmas. I haven’t worn makeup in a week. Thank you, gas station guy for saying I have a baby face. I may have teared up.

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm.

From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.

“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told
DAMMIT NPR.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.

Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Lots of talk of social batteries running out. Very relatable, but can we talk about how recharging these sometimes results in staying up until 3am just to fill your quota for alone-time on that day?

Anyway, on a *totally* unrelated note, good morning. For *some* reason I'm tired on a day off. 🫠

If I were an optometrist, I think I’d save onions for weekends, but you do you, Doc.

I have received multiple texts prior to an upcoming doctor’s appointment, multiple communications about forms to fill out, how I need to arrive early, etc. Not one of these messages said I’d need to pee in a cup when I got here. US healthcare is about managing liability and profit. Not helping.

I went to a pop-up holiday market and this white lady selling hand made ceramic earrings was proudly displaying the political message left by an assassin on bullet casings after a successful murder so that’s a bit of a data point for Where Things Are

Finally watched Arrival last night and I really think we should be allowed more big-budget films about linguistics.

Dickie and Ollie are my first tuxies, and they are absolutely bonkers. Love them.
