happy october to the one single diseased pumpkin my neighbor managed to grow on a scraggly vine down the middle of his front yard all summer. it’s her moment

you have to be a little bit sick to work in a franchise with a visual identity made up of perfectly aligned geometric primitives. fortunately Jedi UI/UX team has the juice

I took a lot of tylenol during one of my pregnancies for debilitating headaches, and almost none during the other. but if either of my children had been born without any neurodivergent traits, given their genetics, let’s just say it would be a lisan al-gaib type situation

Also the Tylenol thing is unfalsifiable. By saying there is an association between something MOST pregnant people do, especially without an alternative, they can claim to have “solved” it. It’s no different than if they said autism was caused by wearing shoes. They get credit without burden of proof

The Tylenol thing is just another way for them to undermine the trust pregnant people have in their doctors, which further erodes choice and increases maternal/infant mortality

women being blamed for autism is very 2025 and also very 1692

caught my toddler’s puke with my bare hands at 2am this morning. nothing and no one can hurt me

I was pondering this week how I’d like to spend less of my time online and today I spent an entire hour cleaning my child’s vomit out of a rug. this is n o t what I meant

oh my god

found my toddler gazing down into our huge old A/C intake vent in the hallway. I asked him “what do you see down there, buddy?” he looked up me and said “TWO EYES” and why would he say that. wHY would he SAY THAT

frankly posting is *a sign* im not doing well

omg, congratulations!!! you look beautiful!

we’re having to do a 6:30pm bedtime or my new kindergartener enters a manic state 👍🏻

I mean this sincerely. then again I click over to figma and it wont let me select colors from my own libraries when setting a simple gradient. ok

after a decade+ of designing in fairly user-friendly software, it’s kind of fun to learn unreal motion graphics, a tool that is actively hostile to my very presence

potty training got the whole gang real Demoralized

I feel like not enough of you heard me tell you that you must read The Tainted Cup so I’m saying it again. two weird detectives in a quasi-Roman fantasy setting with the most interesting magic system I’ve seen in a while uncover murder plot while beset by… fine I’ll call them kaiju

my children hardly pass an hour of their lives without encountering some kind of IP tie-in, yet they’re insisting they want to be “a witch and a ghost” for Halloween this year… im kind of proud

too late. I’m taking the hobbits to isengard

I let the kids do my hair in their pretend salon and now I look pleasantly like the lead uruk-hai with the high pony
