would love to eat a meal, heck even a snack’s worth of solid food right now, and not have a panic attack or throw up afterward.

gastroparesis sucks.

Wish I had a better suggestion, but I switched to making components in Figma and exporting those to presentation software, and then just making all decks in Figma itself. Haven’t found an LLM that does what I want.

Good on you. The woman who was struck and killed is (was? It feels strange to use the past tense) one of my mother’s closest friends.

I stopped using lorem ispum years ago, but let me tell you, the Bee Movie script makes a great placeholder text for just about any block of text in a mockup.

Absolute amateur hour. Have your Kurdish professor instruct you to put slices of onion and garlic under your armpits. @sagsefid.bsky.social can attest.

Filet crochet in red heart mercerized cotton in natural. The pattern is halfway to spelling out “girl” so I looks like it says “yııı”

what I love about making my own crochet/knitting patterns is it basically feels like using Kid Pix but for adults

A couple of years back, at a restaurant here in LA, I heard a man enthuse to his companion about “brothing.” My partner and I still talk about it (“babe, you should try brothing.”).

Two questions from an employment survey about whether I've ever been convicted of a felony or if I was referred to the employer by a rehab agency. 

Response options are: Forks, No, or Not Sure

that's right. Forks. I can't explain it either. I'm not even sure how you'd get it that wrong.

It’s cool that the same executive at my company who wanted to use VR headsets and the metaverse for “in person meetings” is also the reason why half our engineers are required to vibe code. I’m sure he’s gonna be right one of these days.
