Jan!

Halfway thru Anxious Generation and I'm like "I bet there's a If Books Could Kill episode about this book" and I am right

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends
tech weirdo: and shitheads
np: no just my friends
tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender?
np: we just want to hang out and goof around
tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then
np: no shitheads
tw: not following

it's way too early for him to be getting into streamers 😭

I've always kinda scoffed at stories about kids racking up debt on their parents' cards through microtransactions but man that shit happens quicker than you think

THANKFULLY he had just downloaded Twitch - even though it's a free app Sony sends you a receipt anyway 💀 thanks for the heart attack!!

Yesterday my son was hanging out in the living room while I made dinner and was being too quiet, and when I checked on him I saw he had the PS5 controller and was on a random screen. Put TV back on, take controller, go back to the kitchen to this notification on my phone

Library deadlines light a fire under my ass like nothing else to get reading done

Finished a paper theatre kit we have had around for years!

I went in for ONE BOOK

I use Staples' online print service to put my order in, and go pick it up when it's ready (usually about a week later). You can even get it mailed to you!

I typically get around 50 photos printed at a time twice a year and it costs $15.

Anyway, it rules! And I have a feeling I'm not the only one doing it. It used to be impossible to find photo albums, now Michael's has a whole shelf full of them.

I started getting photos printed again last year and assembling physical photo albums. I got bummed thinking about how I had all these photos on my phone and PC and never looked at them and didn't know how I would eventually pass them down to my kids like I've begun inheriting my family's albums

Asking for cloth diapering or laundry advice is how you activate my trap card

Idk what to call this genre (Canadian indie??) but if you liked Metric circa 2010 you'll like Safeword

Ooo check it out! I worked on seasons 4+

(man, 2 years!!! didn't I just give birth yesterday?!)

It's my son's 2nd birthday tomorrow. We celebrated him last weekend, but I wanted him to have a surprise to wake up to, so I made party hats for some of his toys (and blahaj)

can't get over all the details in the chain!!! Sam is so powerful

Please look at this Very Small Pumpkin I grew

2 weeks into my ~improved~ tech habits: I check FB/IG once a day on my PC. I spend maybe 5 mins on each website. Thinking of reducing to every few days bc there's not much to see daily! I get thru the algorithmically boosted friend updates but it quickly turns into ads and rando posts.

Pregnancy Reddit is doing alright

ur a real one

I started having back pain around 20 weeks pregnant. For 18 weeks I remained sane and able to work because of Tylenol and a belly band.

The part of the false Tylenol-causes-autism claim that pisses me off the most is that acetaminophen is the only pain/fever relief med you can take while pregnant. I'm so angry on behalf of the pregnant people out there who will suffer or who won't treat a fever (VERY bad) because of this bullshit

mayo is gross, I will die on this hill

aioli can stay

Finally, a kindred spirit

@tyuran.bsky.social you should be Karen for Halloween
