Need to stay off instagram because I accidentally trained the algorithm to show me stuff related to the Clancy trial and I need to not see any of that thank you.

From now on when people complain about my puns I will tell them I was performing word magic!
" puns in Greek literature serve a somewhat different purpose from puns in the present day. Today, people often see puns as the lowest form of humor, but, in early Greek literature, puns are more like word magic" neat. I did not know this.
Happy Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! 🍪
This is my go to recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Super quick to make the batter, and then I freeze dough balls of some of it so it’s ready for future cookie emergencies (and so I don’t accidentally eat all the cookies in 48 hours)

If you are an expert on air quality and have 10-15 minutes to talk to me today or tomorrow about important things journalists should know while reporting on wildfires and smoke, my DMs are open, or you can email me at karen at OpenNews dot org.

This is obscene.
This was genuinely disturbing to watch, it’s not even about poetry, it’s a video to teach children to prompt and do as little as they can get away with doing with the output before calling it a day.
I called WNET in NY to ask them to remove this video. I told them it was damaging to kids. You can call them, too! Call 212-560-1313 and press 2 to leave a message (the phone prompt seems to indicate 1, but that message directs you to 2). ny.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ruf...
Meeting with a new doctor who wanted some medical records but the doctor I went to prior to about 2019 no longer exists? Rather, she left the practice, then the org was bought by a bigger org, and then the practice closed. Bigger org just responded to records request with basically 🤷

When I scroll through my own posts timeline it’s mostly me sharing @alexandragallant.com’s art, in particular her Frogby felt little guys, but in my defense, Frogby is adorable and @alexandragallant.com is an amazing artist and a friend from my middle/high school days!
Bubbly little Frogby always knows how to make the perfect conversation at dinner parties.

Feeling incredibly seen by the APRN I met with today. Trying to figure out if the medications I’m on are actually helping! Plans for future appointments with added analysis. She summarized her initial impression from the appointment and I felt like she recognized something in me that I haven’t.
Hoping that talking with actual professionals will help me determine why I feel like I am crashing out all the time.
Each frog comes with a mini-comic for you and a mini-mini comic for your little frog pal, plus extra goodies like stickers or postcards. The mini-comic also unfolds into a secret surprise! I also draw a little portrait of each of the frogs and put that in there, too, just cause it's cute.
New frogs just hopped into the Frogby Shop! A few spots left in the 2026 Frogby Mail Club, too! You get a postcard from Frogby straight away, then starting in September, a frog each month for the rest of the year! 🧶🐸 Shipping to 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦 Visit the Frogby Shop: frogby.bigcartel.com/category/fel...
It’s probably good I don’t live in Buffalo anymore because if I happened to see one of the Bills players out and about I would be so weird about it. Can you imagine me meeting Josh Allen? I’d be so weird.

Today is lunch chaos day. Son forgot his lunch so I had to race to his bus stop to get lunch to him before he headed to camp. I bought my lunch at the cafeteria at work and when opening the door to my work area managed to spill the entire thing onto the floor. I gave up and went home.
I have to go to work but my brain has been so weird lately (weirder than normal) that I can’t focus at all and I’m just frozen and unable to initiate any tasks. I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD but now I’m wondering… Could also be perimenopause?
We got our postcards and are so excited!
I would love to get one more sign up today for my Frogby Mail Club! A little felted pal each month for 4 months PLUS lots of treats like art, stickers, a postcard from Frogby, postcards for you to send, and more!!
The comic is the origin story of Lionel J. Frogby (the "j" is for "just a little guy")
This little cutie could be yours, along with a mini-comic and a teeny tiny mini-mini comic for Frogby (US, Canada & UK shipping)
Wait? It’s my daughter’s half birthday? She’s TEN AND A HALF YEARS OLD?!!!?!?
Shipping to the US, UK and Canada for mail club.

Sometimes I get emails addressed to the wrong Stephanie (she AND her husband seem to forget her email address and the husband seems to use it as default for signups). They apparently live a very different life from me, as I just got an email meant for them about private jet pricing.
If I won the lottery I wouldn’t tell anyone, but there would be signs. Like my entire house being full of needle felted frogs and fancy cheeses 🤩
