Fall-ah 🍂🍁🎃

I understand that it’s being done to bypass automod but putting one thing in your captions and saying something completely different in your video is disrespectful AF to people who need captions. Either say the thing and risk demonetization or use an alternative term so the captions are correct.

Wanted something soft and warm and comforting today so I went with this one. There's something comforting in the warm sweetness of this one

I'm getting more of the honey notes this time, maybe because it isn't new and different.

Yes. That's what I said like 5 posts ago 🙃

AWS = Amazon Web Services

Thank you 💜 that honestly helps a little. He's a very bright kid and he's also sensitive. And at 11 it's becoming uncool for boys to cry.

I just hope he keeps an open mind and isn't a Debbie Downer

people are responding to this talking about how the internet was designed to be resilient and fair enough but 30 years ago the whole internet was peered through two sites (mae-east and mae-west) via routers that could be straightforwardly brought down with bgp exploits so time is a flat circle

Reading about the AWS outage

Few minutes later, trying to access Amazon - huh, why won't it load?

Oh right, it's down 🤦

I finished The Kingston Cycle last week and it's brilliant. Highly recommended (though if you don't like politics in your fiction it will make you itch)

3 books, 3 different POVs but they all work and make a cohesive narrative.

I'm still chewing on some of the themes. The writing is lovely too

Promotional poster for Under Heaven as a $1.99 ebook this week.

And this, for those who want to put a toe in the water with my work, or to add an ebook to their collection. UNDER HEAVEN is much less than a coffee this week in US, at all the usual-suspect ebook retailers.

And off they go. It's probably good today is WFH day for me.

Womp womp.

We have 2-3 ladies that come once a month and focus on the kitchen and bathrooms, and mop all the hard floors.

It's so worth it. And yes we are privileged to afford it

Whoa. Cool!

Kiddo seems excited for the camping trip.

I am trying to be positive

I heard AWS is having issues so random stuff might be busted today

Yes and yes. Have ordered new mattresses on Amazon for sub $150.

Honestly having owned both a toddler bed (for human children) and orthopedic dog beds for large breed dogs I think this is brilliant

Much easier to find toddler beds and their supplies

That they didn't figure this out for more than six months goes to show these are literally the dumbest people to ever govern a major economy

Somehow of all the things we own an actual luggage tag is not one of them 🙃

My husband has McGuyvered a label with duct tape 😂

To be fair he did ask a pile of kids to play tag this time and they didn't want to

I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Don't leave FSA funds on the table at the end of the year. LOTS of places like homeless shelters etc... would love donations of FSA eligible items. For the past 2 years, I've used left over funds to shop here: fsastore.com - then donate the items.

Prayers up!! My friend recently rehomed her cat after several months. It can happen!

At the park with Sprout and he wants to do playground speed runs but there are too many kids in the way

He's kinda missing the point of the playground lol

oh please oh please

The Raiders game has been broadcast en Español almost the entire game and I think someone's gonna get fired

At one point I heard something about "los muchachos" and I lost it 😂

My grandma told me that she prays every day that Leaf will speak and that she told God he can't take Grandma until she does 💔

I honestly have a lot of complicated feelings about that but her heart is in the right place

thank you 💜

Text from mom that grandma fell, hit her head bad, and has a subdural hematoma 😔

Grandma is a tough lady. I don't think this will be the end? Appreciate prayers / good vibes for her ✨

And my mom tbh. She's dealt with too much death.
