When I am forced to actually call a company to do something I would appreciate not IMMEDIATELY hearing a recording helpfully informing me I can do many things online

We have a new analysis tool at work and I'm just clicking through data going "Ooh, I have BUTTONS!"

Can someone please explain why toddler hats you can't tie to said toddler exist?

Ad transitions from @iwriteok.bsky.social are even funnier when the ad is "if you hit a moose with your vehicle, you WILL die". This is a bit of a Canadian problem.

"I'm sorry your easel can't phase through matter" is one of those unexpected sentences

Picking anyone as my favourite character in Sunrise on the Reaping other than Haymitch was going to end badly but boy I managed to pick one with a particularly awful death

I think "Not hitting moose while driving" may be the strangest thing I've gotten a podcast ad for

My toddler wants the world to know that Goodnight Moon has a KITTY in it. This is very important to him.

The name Romulus Augustulus was absolutely WASTED

Gavin recently got obsessed with one of her books and I think he recognizes her art style because he's been bringing me the other ones we have too

It's adorable that auto complete thinks I might mean Sandra Bullock and not Sandra Boynton. It's refreshing that it knows so little about my life

I think I figured out how Pride and Prejudice could work as a musical (I say knowing there are several previous attempts) but I would have to learn to write for the stage if I can't make the idea go away

Is there any feeling like a library hold coming in the day you finish the book you're currently reading?

It is a bit of a design flaw that the people required to keep toddlers from killing themselves have so much less energy than toddlers

I keep finding myself saying "Clever boy..." about my toddler much like I'm discussing a velociraptor in Jurassic Park

Turns out toddler playdates mostly consist of making sure they're all using their OWN water cup

Sometimes you open a document and immediately wonder how you meant for that sentence to end

The main thing I know about football continues to be that 72-0 is a very bad score

There was a huge recall of almost every store brand waffle in North America a few months back and all I've seen since is Eggo

So, Canadians, has anyone spotted non-Eggo frozen waffles at Superstore, Sobeys or Giant Tiger recently?

The trouble with being on Atlantic Time is that I can stay up until midnight for NYC Midnight prompts but I can't realistically stay up until 1 AM for it

The overlap between "places my toddler can't reach" and "places objects don't cease to exist in my brain" is shrinking rapidly

The worst part is how often you end up having to explain Reylo

My dishwasher has been out of commission for weeks and I hate that handwashing dishes can't be done at the same time as other tasks like loading the dishwasher can

I actually opened the Scrivener doc for a novel draft I haven't touched since before Gavin was born. I even made changes!
