In talking to my oncologist today, he said something along the lines of: “We threw our best option, and then our second best option, and then our third best option. Those are some hearty tumor cells.” It made me giggle because I imagined my tumor as stubborn and I think that that’s a trait that […]

The downside to putting together my own dashboard to display the bus data is I know too much. The Transit app just doesn’t display the 5:20 p.m. one, but it’s on the timetable. #capmetro
A screenshot of a bus tracker that shows the next bus is cancelled and the bus after it wasn't cancelled, but no bus is running the route that would serve it.

I like Bitwarden well enough but need more seats than what their family plan has. Y’all have any recs for a password manager that would support sharing for a family that has 8 people in it?

One of my vices is Kickstarter and I need to just stop. I don’t mind the occasional failed product or one that is mega-delayed. Between scams and places shipping via SpeedX (the worst), it isn’t worth it.

My bond portfolio does not seem to like what he’s doing. When POTUS, who directs the Treasury secretary, has had as many bankruptcies as I have kids, hearing them wanting to intervene makes me nervous. #uspol www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/business…

@capmetroatx.bsky.social has been particularly bad this first week of school, canceling trips that are special (one bus will serve a school stop, but the rest of that route's runs will not). I was annoyed enough while trying to help my kid this week that I made a bus tracker. bus.dillo.dev #atx

if you see this, we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.
image of Mary with a fist in the air with words from the The Magnificat (Luke 1:48) surrounding her "Cast down the mighty / Send the rich away / Fill the hungry / Lift the lowly". Mary is stomping on a skull and snake, similar to the image of her as the Immaculate Conception.

As with many deaths, all I care to say is that I cannot fathom the depths of God’s mercy. I hope that everyone, myself included, at the moment of judgement before the creator, has their heart formed to be able to accept that mercy.

"The president’s international licensing business, which looked nearly dead a few years ago, generated $61 million in 2025, according to a financial disclosure report released last week. That’s up an estimated 30% from 2024 and 900% from 2023. " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If this were the norm under capitalism, fewer people would have a problem with it. But instead it’s rabid venture capital,shareholders uber alles,scam gamble nation,& data center nihilism. There are & have always been better choices. We could just favor labor over capital& invest in public things 🤷🏾‍♀️

As the mom of a cisgender girl athlete, I'm worried not only about the potential invasion of privacy (and bodily autonomy) but about the pressure that the threat of gender inspection could put on girl athletes (cis and trans) to present themselves in stereotypically gendered ways.
