Danni Jorgenson-Murray @ukenagashi.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Looks like Germany is the latest victim of the "Oh No, The US Has Noticed Us" curse, with this new idiotic doctor's note reform. Functionally this means on every article about it there are dozens of comments saying "Well WE don't get any sick days at ALL" in various ways. 100
Danni Jorgenson-Murray @ukenagashi.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Lately I've been telling my son what I'm doing when I pull my phone out as a way to police my phone use around him. "I'm sending Grandma a message" or "I'm checking the weather" etc. So this morning I had to say "I'm just taking a photo of something your dad will find funny." 041

Playing smart guys on TV is what I do So let me get my verbose on, oh yeah When Seattle speaks I’m listening But it’s not all highbrow and glamour.” I said "Tell me your name, is it sweet?" He said "My boy, it's Grammer." 000

Danni Jorgenson-Murray @ukenagashi.bsky.social · 06/01/2026This morning's 100 words ended up being a poem, so here you go. --- See You Soon The snowflakes come down like a wolf on the fold, Devour the garden in soft silent bites, Swallow up hedgehogs in leaf litter moulds And the upside down blancmange of birdbath-shaped ice. 121

Danni Jorgenson-Murray @ukenagashi.bsky.social · 27/10/2025MOTN Feed The cosmos dreams - until a cry Sends spangling shards of waking thoughts To pick up mass and roll up weight. Then, into sticky orbits caught, They roil and bloom chaotic life, And through the great primordial night Speed up, evolve. First contact made: A hand against the bedside light. 010
Danni Jorgenson-Murray @ukenagashi.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Looking up the word "hove" to see if it's just a past participle of "heave" or its own verb, and came across these singularly depressing examples. Thanks, really helpful. 221

Danni Jorgenson-Murray @ukenagashi.bsky.social · 20/09/2025I think being "allowed" to draw random little pictures and spend time and effort on them for no reason other than my son demanded them is maybe one of my favourite parenting bonuses.
