Coming home to a moped/vacuumed home everyday this week Keith no effort on my end) has been doing wonders for my mental health and productivity. Best money ever spent
We got a new vacuum/mop robot and this is the most excitement our household has seen in weeks

It really is a gift in this field when you get an R&R that makes you think. That makes you read and learn more. That makes you better.

I have been stepping away from X and Bluesky lately—it is liberating but also a bit scary and definitely FOMO-inducing. 🌥️ Just popping in to share some exciting news: my work with @jessmaddox.bsky.social, @chelseajulian.bsky.social, and @nahlab.bsky.social has been accepted to #ICA25! 🎉

This Thanksgiving was all about quince. I've been thinking about this quince compote my mom used to make for me growing up. So I built these quince apple pear pie & galette with it as the main character. Wish I got better pictures, but these turned out incredible!

Ori & Midnight. The best and cuddliest pups.

We recently celebrated a year with Ori and four (4!!!) years with Midnight in the last month!

It started raining a little while ago and I honestly got emotional. Freaking finally
Summer is over; the evil has been defeated. It was touch and go for a while there, but we did it, y’all. We did it.
