Not me over here trying to explain this knock off sudoku game I'm playing where you place cats instead of numbers because cats actually make sense 👀

I bet we end up with a 6 day workweek and some employee appreciation stickers instead 🙃 Missing alt text: Forbes headline reading "Jeff Bezos Claims AI Could Allow For 3-Day Workweeks And One-Income Families"

Someone asked me a question Which turned into me finding three accessibility bugs Which turned into me recommending fixes Which turned into making a prototype Which will likely be ignored Then someone will ask me the same question again next year. I will repeat this cycle like Sisyphus.

I've never been more cognizant of how much I use the right ctrl button and how fucking annoyed I am with copilot than when I accidentally hit this stupid button 10 times a day.
The right ctrl button on my work laptop has been replaced with a button that pulls up Copilot.

I'm annoyed that my local polling place is a church when there's a library within a mile of this church. I don't want to go to a church to do my civic duty. I will, but it's so uncomfortable.

It's been cool enough to open windows the last few days, but the high today is 86, so they're closed. Penny is decidedly not happy about it and making her opinions known quite loudly.

Some seniors in my life are always telling me to thank my husband for "letting" me do this and that for them. I always remind them that the day he decides to tell me what I'm allowed or not allowed to do as an adult is the day I divorce him. They always seem so shocked! Thankfully, my spouse rocks 💙

I started a new job recently and it's fully remote (yay!), it's also unionized (yay!), but the union has issued a strike notice and I'm really kinda stuck on how exactly I'm supposed to be helpful from approximately 2600 miles away 😅 Bit of a hike for a picket line...

Has anyone checked to see if there's a special circle of hell for people who use needless or overly complicated tables? I can guarantee you there are better design options than a 400 row table.

The bad thing about learning design is like the bad thing about learning accessibility. Once you see it, you can't un-see it, and it's everywhere.

Best I've got right now is breathing exercises, muttering "feelings are not facts" until you hit semantic saturation, making a point to take a walk, and watching possibly an unhealthy amount of Task Master 😛

I'm always a little shocked when a form asks for your home phone and your cell phone (but only the home phone field is required) as if most people haven't had primarily just a cell phone for 20ish years. I'm slightly more shocked when I bump into someone who still has a landline.

A lot of people don't know this, but when you brush a cat, you are legally required to show them the wad of cat hair that came off of them and tell them "this is enough for another whole cat"

Why yes, CGM manufacturer, I will write you an essay on how much I hate the "AI coach" and how much your new UI reeks of style over substance. I'm big mad about it and probably screeching into a void, but you provided the void...

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

I feel like doom scrolling science content needs its own name. Also, I will pay attention to literally anything if it's under a microscope. Crystals? Yes. Tardigrades? Of course! Household items? Hit me. Tiny confusing animals that sit somewhere between slugs and worms? I'll watch that on loop, thx

Never underestimate the power of a cat to take up space. Penny is 15, weighs 8 pounds, and somehow managed half of a long sized bed by herself.

I just love the chaos post move where you know you own an item, but you have no idea where on earth it is and you either have to pay the financial penalty to buy a new one, pay the sanity penalty by exploding boxes looking for it, or pay the time penalty and just wait for it to show up
