Subscriptions for app is such a drag. It’s like an artificial barrier for software that’s already there. The way that apps monetize using the monthly subscription (and then now other software, borrowing that same framework) bums me out.

I’ve been trying so many pop sockets and other magnetic phone grips for my iPhone 17 - I finally had to concede that the MagSafe placement on the back the phone is NOT the ideal place for a grip. It needs to be on the bottom half of the phone, not the middle

You know you’re a parent of small children when waking up at 7am is considered sleeping in

Just so you know, you can keep dressing your toddler in their cute Christmas pajamas as long as you want. It’s not like they will fit in them next year.

My life started feeling a lot more luxurious when I started using a LOT more product. Skin care products, hair products… like, if you feel meh about a product, have you tried using three time as much? Just like as an experiment!!!

baby’s first fever overnight… whew, are we all tired. super grateful to still be nursing and to cosleep because I think we both got the most sleep we probably could have all things considered.

If this isn’t slow productivity, I don’t know what is.
Maggie holds a book called Slow Productivity by Cal Newport in the foreground; in the background her toddler plays in his bedroom either his playhouse, foam alphabet letters, and music player. Maggie is being productive by watching the baby and reading.

also the toddler slept 12 hours last night. Which means I got to lay in my own bed for 12 hours and no one had to get out of bed before 8am 🥹🥹🥹

I spent so much of my 20’s figuring out how to be emotionally sustainable. Now that i’m in my 30’s I’m so grateful for all that time spent so I can focus on other things.

Subtle thing that upset my toddler recently: He handed my husband a toy ball, which he took then said “thank you!!” This upset the toddler.

Today my toddler got upset that I handed him his own Yoto player, which I ASKED him if he wanted and he nodded YES.

We ran out of whole milk for our toddler at dinner - so I grabbed the last two little bags of pumped breastmilk from the freezer (maybe 3.1 oz total) to thaw I went to pour it in his cup and I SPILLED A BUNCH OF IT

After a few months taking a break from work, I'm looking for a job again.  Anyone hiring a software engineer with a penchant for low-level stuff?  I'm looking for something remote in the US (or, at the very least, something in the Seattle area). (Reskeet for reach? Thanks!)

NYT had an interesting opinion article from a student journalist about how breastfeeding can save infant lives globally… and a lot of the comments are about moms defending themselves feeling shamed for not breastfeeding

vibes are gonna be very off around here from now through inauguration (also forever, but that's a different question). people will be bummed for disparate reasons but will be bummed (the guys who are stoked are NPCs for the purposes of this analysis). It is revolutionary to protect your vibes imo

So I am a certified transit nerd and my cousin is a NYC commuter and we vehemently disagree about the congestion pricing thing. But we still love hanging out and being close friends. That is the type of politics that friends should be able to disagree on, not like whether trans people can exist.

there’s an incredible 24-hour donut shop near our place that we love to frequent - one of my favorite things about it is that it’s in an old Taco Bell, and all the seating inside is authentic 90’s Taco Bell aesthetics, all purple and teal

I will never not fear the reason my son has short catnaps during the day is because I drank a measly cup of coffee in the morning even though it’s very developmentally appropriate for him to have sucky naps right now

Me drinking coffee while pumping breast milk feels like I’m making custom caffeinated milkshakes for my son Part of the fun is we have no idea how caffeinated they are, or exactly when he will drink them. Before a nap? Mixed with his dinner? Who knows!!

My six month old is in size 4 diapers now - we got a box of overnight size 4 diapers at the baby shower, and I just assumed we’d use them in like two years! That’s what happens when you have a 96th percentile baby lol

for the second night (morning) in a row, my son has been thrust from barely-awake-enough-to-nurse to omg-I’m-so-awake-and-I-want-to-pet-the-cat by a simple “mrph?” by our kindly older cat, Sherman

As an experiment, I FaceTimed my mom and had her talk to my infant son - he absolutely recognized her voice and got all amped. I think he recognized her face in the phone but was confused about how she was there.
