I’m anchored near shore with 4 teenage boys who are quickly learning that fishing from a sailboat is an expert level sport. I tried to tell them 🤷🏻‍♀️ Lots of laughs and a whole lot of tangled fishing lines 😅

one of my neighbors (who has never had a dog) said it’s inhumane to crate train them, and for a dog as big as my 170lb mastiff, it’s just cruel. brb gotta go wake ellie to let her know what the neighbor thinks.

totally happy mastiff resting on her back in her open crate because all girlies need their own space sometimes

I spent a chunk of my career focused on election security, speaking in closed door senate hearings (with voting machine vendors present), secretary of state events, and on panels with other experts in the election space. Anyway, this script is AI slop using partisan voter conspiracy prompts.

it’s actually a huge relief that my gym doesn’t allow cell phones. with people literally posting everything on socials, i kinda feel like no gym should allow recording devices of any kind. 🤷🏻‍♀️

“I’m not sure people really understand how expensive it is to have adhd,” she says as she loads her embroidery machine onto her giant vintage sailboat, along with her soldering kit, sticker printer, and portable solar panels. she is me.

Just thinking about the time I worked at 18F and received a call from the GSA Ethics Office because a vendor at a conference I keynoted gave all speakers a complimentary portable phone charger. It was deemed to be worth $35 in value & thus a violation of the Emoluments Clause, so I had to return it.
