I just got Virtual Cottage 2 and am really enjoying the little upgrades from the original like customizing your character and room, multiple settings, a journal, and group options. Super cute and helpful productivity aid. @duandigames.bsky.social

I just really like the vibes okay? Yes there are some minor things I wish were more (more animations for when you're focused for one thing) but honestly its been lovely and I'm very pleased with my preferred to-do/productivity "game" of choice.

I’ve fallen into a few mini book clubs lately with family and friends, and it’s been such a lovely way to stay in touch / have new topics of conversation. Highly recommend! Also, shoutout to StoryGraph’s Buddy Reads feature for making it more fun.

Are there any text-to-speech tools that don't use your writing to train their AI/software? I'm guessing not really.

Wow, Stardew Valley is a decade old? So wild what an influence it’s had on the rise of cozy gaming.

You don’t get your official Old-Ass Parent badge in the mail until you’re trying to ease a child into bed and you accidentally wake them up with some part of your body cracking very loudly.

Might complete my auntie transformation and start carrying a tube of lotion around with me everywhere. In my defense though, it’s like -5% humidity where I live.

Both of my sisters were Girl Scouts, I know these cookie boxes used to be way bigger. Still got my Thin Mints though.

I just got invited to my first mom’s group, which feels sort of like being tapped for a very uncool secret society 😂

Was there ever any follow up on Curling Baby? I feel not enough.

I realized today that it had been over a year since I last backed up my WIP, so paying it forward as your periodic reminder from the universe to save your project.

Soul-weary.

This halftime show is so much fun, bro. Like imagine not being able to enjoy this

These Super Bowl commercials are recession indicators

I know this dip recipe didn’t just tell me to grate a zucchini — how about I chop it into small pieces and we call it a day.

Somehow my baby has made it halfway round the sun already 💖 It’s cliché to call it the hardest, most beautiful endeavor I’ve ever chosen, but what about parenting isn’t a cliché? Constantly stunned, honored, and in love with being his mother. (And let’s be real, also heinously exhausted lol.)

Every four years I try to remember the difference between pair skating and ice dancing, and I always end up having to look it up.

My (non-Black) spouse was talking about something unrelated to me and said, “I just generally think Black women are right about everything.” And I was all, You beautiful, sanity-saving human, you.
