Hiiii, here’s my intro-of-the-moment:
I’m a middle aged single mom product manager living in San Diego county and singing in a mediocre cover band. Sometimes I go on random adventures, other times I have random thoughts and share them when I shouldn’t.
Lots more, I apparently contain multitudes.

Last week I was lamenting not having invested heavily in NVIDIA. Today I remembered that the stock market is a gambling platform and nothing in tech is ever certain.
Anyone have a game plan for navigating this? Maybe I just mattress it and stick with bonds and the old HYSA.

ICE was all over my town yesterday. I’m terrified for all my friends who look a certain way, regardless of “legal status”. Utterly horrific times.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, I strongly recommend the livestream of the corpse flower at Sydney Botanic Gardens on YouTube. There are currently 1,500 people in chat waiting for a flower to open, and occasionally claiming that it definitely has moved this time.

Had to switch my main feed to a #gardening feed today in order to survive. Here’s my small contribution: peas sprouting in the ground this morning in my first ever winter garden (San Diego, zone 10b).
I’m very excited about these little babies.

Can someone tell me how to get more enjoyment from bsky? I get on here and am immediately hit with a depressing wall of sadness and wallowing in the current state of affairs.
I open the socials to escape but that doesn’t seem to be possible anymore.

Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment is law. What happens next is unclear
To come into effect, the constitutional amendment would need to be formally published or certified by the national archivist, who has declined to do so in the past. What happens now is unclear.

My boss thanked someone for coming off of mute to laugh at his joke on the first call of the day and I’m becoming concerned that this will be where my Thursday excitement peaks

As a hs senior, I applied to 3 colleges and was accepted to 2. My daughter is a senior and is applying to 20 from just 2 applications.
No wonder acceptance rates are so low, everyone is applying to all the schools, apparently.

Will I get the same health benefits as a cold plunge if I work in a garage office where the temp is in the 40°F range? Feels like I should.

I’ve never struggled with not wanting to go on social media before, I’m typically more of a doom scroller. But I’m suddenly finding it sooooo boring and contrived and repetitive.
Is this good? Is there something wrong with me? Am I just fed up with Meta and not quite feeling the new places yet?
