Watching last week’s #allcreatures and suddenly there’s Emma Thompson, somehow looking younger than she did in 1995? So I look up the cast, and sure enough, that’s Emma’s daughter. But it’s so disconcerting trying to convince my brain that she’s not Emma. It’s not just that she’s wearing Emma’s […]

I bought a sweater quantity of yarn thinking I could finish it before heading to Europe for a month, but it turns out I was basing that on the amount of #knitting I was getting through in a day *last week*; i.e. a holiday week. 😔

Me: Mmm, nice cozy knitting day
Cat: Cool, I’ll come sit on this knitting resting on your leg so you can’t knit it and also can’t retrieve it because these paws tucked so sweetly beneath me are armed with knit-destroying hooked knives that will be activated by […]

No really, though, why don’t they need fresh air? Can they switch between oxygen and carbon dioxide or what?

Oh, you thought “lunchtime” meant “Stop working and eat lunch? I’m afraid you’re quite mistaken—it actually means “Stop working and eat fur.”

There's something cruel in how our culture treats in-between times.
We have words for achievement
and words for burnout,
but we lack vocabulary for the necessary pauses that precede new growth.
If you say you're
"between projects," people assume you've been cast aside.
The idea that you […]

Little earthquake! 3.6 in San Ramon. It took a few minutes to show up in MyShake and I was starting to think I must have hallucinated it.

Apple Health gets worried and alerts you if your periods become irregular or stop and you can add in a “cycle factor” from the following: pregnancy, lactation, contraception. That’s it! There are lots of other reasons a person’s periods might stop, but of all the possibilities the only one that […]

First of all an interaction I thought was me helping a person to learn turned out to be me helping copilot to learn which I did not appreciate lol, and even the mergeable part wasn't actually authored by the person, so in what sense would that be a "contribution"..?

As a member of the Fern Gully generation I was surprised when I grew up and it turned out that whenever something happens like we stumble upon a cave that’s been sealed for 5 million years we don’t go “Shit, sorry, we’ll be off now” and tiptoe away quietly. That every time we’re actually like […]

I do wish that instead of readers having LLMs summarize stuff that writers would put a TL;DR at the top instead. Like I’m sure it’s a masterpiece and every detail is vital and nuanced but most people aren’t going to read it all anyway (I know. I’m sorry 💔), so you might as well provide a summary […]
