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

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.

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 🥹🥹🥹

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.

they say there’s no use crying over a thing like this, but I had to shed a tear. Me last July taking 20 minutes to produce this milk was looking on like 😳

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

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

Originally I thought it was the “Three Little Ants” song where they sneeze and fly off the screen, but today it was “If you should meet an elephant” which we have watched before many times without incident. But today it was worth running to me as I sat on the toilet to get some reassurance

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!)

That is downright scary. And for someone so young. Is she aware something is wrong, or is she in denial?

I’m still in the hair loss phase, but the worst of it is behind me - it felt like every time I touched my infant, three strands of hair got stuck on him!!!

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Now that I’ve been on this whole thread rampage, I’m not even sure the point - just that when people getting mad at other people for making them feel bad about not breastfeeding, we’re infighting. We should collectively be pissed at the meager protections our government/society has for new parents.

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

So that gal almost certainly had to spend her hard-earned money to buy formula for her infant she had to leave at home or daycare, because she had to go to work so soon after giving birth to pay her bills. My husband and I were fortunate enough to have enough savings to live off for a few months.

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

(My parents help watch my son during my work days - the cost of daycare for infants is a whole other thing I won’t get into now)

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

My work didn’t offer maternity leave per se, but I had 12 weeks FMLA to use and 6 weeks disability insurance which amounted to 4 weeks of 60% of pay during that time. I also had 80 hours of unpaid time off I used to effectively work half-days for another 4 weeks. AND I get to work from home.

100

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

I was still so incontinent and really struggled to stay hydrated. I had a tear I was still recovering from. My husband and I were probably getting maybe 4 hours each of sleep in 24-hours. That gal’s baby was maybe three weeks older than mine.

100

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

When I was hugely pregnant, there was a gal who was also hugely pregnant who worked at my local Target. I remember during my leave from work, when I was three weeks postpartum, I took my first outing away from baby which was a 30 minute Target run - and that gal was WORKING.

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

and if parents to new babies really COULD have, like, even three months where they didn’t have to worry about their jobs, or having the funds to pay their bills, and just focus on their families, I wonder if more parents may be able to pull of even a little breastfeeding (if they wanted to)

100

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

They get told they have to, that it’s the only responsible way to feed a baby; that formula is “inferior” and will damage their baby; that it should be painless and come naturally; that you WON’T be stuck on your ass for 5, 6, 7 hours a day feeding your baby event 90 minutes around the clock

100

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

if parents planned a c-section but went into labor and delivered vaginally, or wanted an epidural but didn’t get one And I think the same thing happens to parents who may desire to breastfeed, even a little bit

100

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

It’s easy to say that the default “negative outcome” is someone who wanted a natural birth, but ended up with a c-section, perhaps after an induction and the “cascading interventions” as they call it. But the negative outcomes happened the other way too

100

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

This was over ten years ago, so I’m not going to try to share any data - but! I remember one finding really stuck with me. People had difficulty recovering from childbirth when their experience didn’t match their expectations or hopes. This wasn’t just for those who didn’t want a c-section.

When I was in college I did a big research project on maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the US. It’s sad but the US has the worst maternal death or injury rates for our freshly postpartum citizens out of any first world nation.

maggie @computerliker6.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

None of this addresses the illness lactation humans can experience which can be extremely painful and can end a breastfeeding journey - something like one in four breastfeeding parents will get mastitis in the first six months??! Which is insane on its own
