Preemie mom and cat servant. Doer of crafts. Typo hunter by trade, nonsensical by choice. Chaotic good. She/her.

I can't wait for menopause because every time I get my period, my C-section scar is on fire and I remember the scariest day of my life (and that's an extremely high bar and tends to remind me of all the runners-up)

Every day that it's this hot (112° today) I end up screaming while making dinner, "WHY DID THEY HAVE TO FUCK UP SALADS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR SPECIFICALLY???" It's unbearably hot in my apartment already AND I have to cook. Such bullshit.

I started singing "one, two, buckle my shoe" to B, but I forgot the words partway through so it changed to "seven, eight, stay up late, nine, ten, never sleep again" Oopsy?

I really need my dryer to calm the fuck down until I have $300 to replace it. And before anyone decides to waste both of our time telling me where to buy a used one: don't. We don't have W/D hookups, so it has to be a portable one that plugs into a regular outlet and doesn't need to vent outside.

I love when someone asks the group how to do something, and my answer is "run this automatic thing," and someone else's is "select all, click here, hover here and a menu will come up and you click this thing and then select what you're trying to do." And the other person is who they listen to 🤣

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

The Fae: so we’re going to take you away from here and— Me: I accept! The Fae: and you won’t remember anything and you will not return for a century— Me: I ACCEPT HARDER

I miss when the temperature in my apartment didn't make me want to puke. I can't remember the last time it was reasonably comfortable in here at 4am, never mind 2pm.

Last year, I mentioned to the nurses in the NICU that the baby I'd miscarried before my son was born would have been due May 2020. The thousand-yard stare I saw on three of them just mentioning that date still haunts me. The *baby* ICU was full of COVID, ffs.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

"Why can't you just appreciate how revolutionary the job-taking, environment-degrading, information-shredding, technology-hoarding, economy-swamping machine is?" My brother in Christ, there may indeed be a revolution in part because of "AI," but it might not be the one you wanted.

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do. ME: How are you supposed to do it? MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck. BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

I stayed home while M and B went to MIL's again, because I have a million things to do. But the first thing on that list was makeup because I need to do something fun once in a while.

B is now the proud owner of 3 different kinds of diapers. 🤣 We have his regular daytime ones, his overnight ones, and the cheapest ones I could find for when he needs changed right before a meal or a bath and it's going to be wasted anyway. Ridiculous, but keeps us from wasting the spendier ones.

I just watched B swallow four bites of food in a row. That surgery was exactly what he needed. (Also he blew a kiss for the first time yesterday instead of just clicking his tongue when he tried. Which is not nearly as important as the food, but is a good indication of how much he's improving.)

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

I got sick of saving the day at work, so tonight I said nope, not my problem, put that file back, and emailed the bosses to tell them what the problem was. And apparently that was still me saving the day because everyone has been doing those files wrong 🤣
