Quip is bad. But i am in a panic that Salesforce is taking it away because what is we have to move everything to
Confluence?

Doesn’t everyone, eventually?

When people say rye-k everyone gets quiet and then someone takes them aside to explain why we don’t use that pronunciation. It would be funny if it were fiction.

I have kanban system for the day itself — a post it note for each dish and the cupboard doors for the board. The post its move from not started -> prep -> assemble -> cook/bake -> ready -> table.

I haven’t forgotten a dish since I started this system.

Yesterday my feed was full of comments about two different sandwich guys. Didn’t see that coming.

I think of him every time I have a grilled cheese sandwich.

I just got a mini cpap for use while traveling, especially for overnight trips (it’s FAA approved!). It’s adorable! So wee! 2/3 of a pound!

This is the first time that my carryon strategy won’t be centered on managing a resmed airsense, 2+ feet of awkward tubing, a mask and the cord.

Some things take more than one try because they are so difficult and imagining life on the other side is impossible-leaving an abuser, no longer relying on addictive substances, transitioning in the face of hatred and shaming. Every try takes courage, trying 2 or 5 or 10 times is not cowardice.

just saw an ICE ad during MLB.

reptiles are so so so much easier than insects.

Seanan McGuire is mantis raising goals.

My one parental health win is that my mother is now willing to go to the ER before 7pm, instead of waiting until midnight.

I think it’s the steady influx of Californians and tech folks.
I was a pop person until I spent a few years in CA.

Finally, some good news!

This is particularly tragic to hear from UW-Madison which has amazing language programs.

Read this post directly after one about the ending of funding for FLAS (Foreign Languages and Area Studies) fellowships.

FLAS fellowships paid my way through grad school. I studied Swahili every year, and it changed my life — both graduate studies and becoming fluent in Swahili.

Speechless.

Now that’s a Van kedisi!

(average Türk: what do you mean Van cats have colored ears and tails? It’s the eyes. Van is in Türkiye, we know this.)

The fact that you can look at the camera without losing it, for multiple minutes while callers yammer on is amazing. My face would be scrunched up in horror after about 45 seconds.

Aji de Gallina. that is all.

I remember the highly paid men with MBAs comparing the women to different types of cars (she’s a Ferrari, she’s a Honda) at a company sponsored happy hour, with the HR chicks standing right there.
