All I wanted to do was save $10 a month on my Peacock subscription by bundling it with my Apple One subscription and 48 hours later all I’ve got is Apple saying this is a Peacock problem and Peacock says it’s an Apple problem. First world problem but still frustrating.

I had completely forgotten what it was like to have a goals meeting with my supervisor that didn’t involve getting verbally flogged for existing. My new boss is the best!!!

I’m guessing El-Sayeed’s debating an empty chair last night didn’t do much to bolster Mike Rogers’ challenge for that senate seat.

For 5 years I was gaslit by my boss that I had little to offer, that my contributions were minimal, and that I didn't know how to do my job. This despite winning awards and being in high demand. I never understood the "People don't leave jobs, they leave bad bosses" thing more.

Today my boss let me know in that last year is last year, this year is this year and he has my back 100%. While I never want another learning opportunity as big as the one that knocked me on my ass last year, it’s nice to finally have a supportive leader in my corner. Leadership matters.

Tomorrow I get to rehash the big mistake I made last winter with my superintendent for the unpteenth time because we can’t apparently move on and keep going and I guess I’m the biggest problem they have to deal with? 🫠

Wanted desperately to fill the bubble for @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social but made the next best choice instead. Onward to November! (And I love my clerk for letting me take a full set of the I Voted stickers since I had a hard time choosing. So glad MI does this comp for future voters!)

The latest Perry Johnson campaign text (oy vey how did these people get my digits?) is literally just a bunch of lies with no effort made to even mask the racism. That’s the future of politics apparently.

Voting absentee? Today would be a great day to NOT vote for Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary. Like… not even a little bit.

David A. Johnson, Ed.S. @notdavejohnson.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
I cannot, and will not, vote for Hayley Stevens. And I’m not even sure I can hold my nose and pull the lever for her in November if she wins the primary. I have criticized many for purity tests in my day but this woman is horrible in every sense of the word. She has no business in the Senate.

There’s also a velociraptor and the talking head of a sex doll possessed by a psychotic goddess of unrequited love who wants to kill your mother and that’s not even the most remotely bat shit stuff once you hit book seven. But the story is also kind of deep and also you’ll sometimes tear up.

Things I’ve learned this year: 1) apparently helping the unhoused in the area is controversial. 2) the people who find it controversial all have “Christian” or “follower of Jesus” in their bios. #ReasonsImAthiest.

Those days when the app the SOS tells you to use for tracking driving hours crashes, locks you out and then deletes all your driving data so you decide to build your own with AI and after an hour you already have a more functional and easy to use product than the official app… Fuck Road Ready.

Mac version back and forth with the app review team is giving me serious “self checkout” vibes as they ask for a video that shows what the app does. It’s literally right there in the first run walkthrough but sure thing! 😂

The apps I'm working on will never pay the bills - it's a side project and labor of love - but it's one I truly believe in. We need to be productive but we need to keep our emotional health secure. Athena is the first step in bridging those gaps. www.olympuslifesoftware.com/post/emotion...

Athena is built with emotional health in mind - but it is NOT a medical app. I really wanted to spend a little bit of time surfacing what that means.Athena is not a medical app. It does not diagnose ...

I’ve always said there’s nothing more synonymous with 250 years of the great democratic experience than a music festival with Vanilla Ice, Vanilla Ice, a little more Vanilla ice and Brett Michaels.

I’m noticing a thing as I enter my last few years in education. Everyone asks “but what will you do when you go?” I’ll be youngish but the idea that I need to work until I’m dead doesn’t sit with me.

Learned mom is having her knee replaced today via a text message she sent last night that was supposed to go to the friend who is apparently taking her to the hospital this morning. When called on it she “didn’t want to worry me.”-this is why my definition of family differs from so many of yours.

My favorite part of Athena - sometimes your task and to-do list can be overwhelming - and that’s why I programmed “calm mode” in. A great invitation to getting started - it brings up one thing with two alternate options and highlights your wins.

#BestLife Baking - a friend I was talking to about the rough first half of 2026 sent me a gift card to King Arthur which I used on some books. Practicing for my retirement gig. Today - salt, sesame seed, cinnamon sugar and everything sourdough bagels (one bit it coming out of the sugar water bath)

I got back on book face last night because my daughters created accounts there and is the logic from the right really that Virginia took 49% of the populations vote away by gerrymandering? Because it was voted on by the people and I’d like for Texas to enter the group chat please.

It’s a great solution which of course means no elected Democrat would do it because they’re still operating like the rules 40 years ago are still the rules in play and they haven’t been the rules for a good long while.
