I’ve been checking in on this periodically for the last couple of years, because my older two children were entitled to citizenship when they were born, then not entitled after April 2009, then entitled again, but my youngest wasn’t […]

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 […]

I’ve been helping out with editing talk captions ahead of @pyladiescon, so I already know the talks are super fun and interesting! Genuinely, each one taught me something new and useful. ❤️ It starts in just a few minutes, but goes through the weekend (all-virtual talks and lovely live chats in […]

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 […]

Hey remember how mad you got about Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel for a few days? Well here's your chance to show another corporate media overlord that you're pissed at them firing someone for political speech, and to let them know why you did it.

It's time to cancel all your subscriptions to Code […]

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"..?

I take a non judgemental […]

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 […]

My daughter was helping me last weekend and laughed and said “Mom, you just pulled out a sparkly `Hello world` sticker from @pyladies that you got at @pybeach while you were fishing in your bag for the key to the @pybay storage unit.” 😁

PyBay is this Saturday! 🥳

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 […]
