Day 5: Less likely to find me a job than some of my other projects, but yesterday, on day 5, I made a festive lil reindeer towel 🤷‍♀️

Day 4: I spent part of my last number of months building out a custom Chat UI based on Headless UI components, custom SCSS, and custom React hooks. But since then a bunch of chat kits have come out! Started playing with Open AI's today. Nothing too fancy in there yet. github.com/teallarson/c...

Day 3 of being laid off: added a Windows 3.1 Hot Dog Stand theme to my woefully out of date website (one of these projects should really be to write again)

Day 2 of being laid off: ripped up carpets to find beautiful flooring I’ve been missing out on

& Ampersands are friendly AF. Everybody wants to hang out with them. They’re like that lovely aunt who always has a batch of cinnamon rolls and a comfy chair ready (I don’t have an aunt like this… but someday I aspire to be that aunt)

You may think, “Teal, I’m so sorry, your ineptitude does not mean semicolons are jerks.” But I would counter you with this: just look at it ; snide vibes left and right, up and down.

Hello to you, too! 🖤
