The 90s dream was a translucent purple phone and a lime green inflatable chair. And a candle you bought at the Natural Wonder store that smelled like sandalwood and you weren’t allowed to light it.

Interesting!

I consult with stakeholders as part of my job, and sometimes emotions run pretty high, but that does not at all prepare me for negotiating with a sleep deprived 2nd grader.

Just tried to eat my yogurt with a a knife. Hope your day is going well.

Fall is a mixed bag because I really like a lot about it but also The Darkness is coming

i think it's really funny that in the 20th century people freaked out about conspiracies and hidden satanic messages and in-plain sight illuminati rituals but today everyone in charge of the world is screaming "I AM EVIL INCARNATE" and no one gives a shit

As an economic side note, I think the powers that be may be losing control of their ability to manipulate the oil market.

When I was like 14 I had a week long gig as a Vacation Bible School assistant. At the church that we, I cannot emphasize enough, Did Not Attend. My mom made me do it. And basically I sat in the hallway and let a little girl talk to me about all her problems at home. None of the adults I told cared.

Well we’re inundated with AI slop but… at least some of it is funny. Wtf lol

Mandatory trainings with AI voice overs feel like aggression

Eww no

Ok I feel like I’ve been seeing way more vehicle fires the last few months not sure what that’s about

Got my roller coaster pants on (IYKYK), gonna try a weekend in October because I’m insane

This morning indesign is really on my shitlist

Hey guess what we avoided it in August but now it’s going around the school classroom how are we not past this in second grade Health anxiety activated

I don’t think about this incident a whole lot, but I do wonder if it’s part of why we’ve been very straightforward about death with my kid since very young. The other reason of course being the “cemeteries are part of my job” thing.

Someone needs to tell these losers about hobbies

The theme of today appears to be “other people’s preposterous expectations.”

Decorated for Halloween and now my kid is spinning around the living room singing “I’m a demon, yeah yeah yeah.”#parentoftheyear

Anyway this is what I was vagueposting about yesterday. If you’re not in the industry it’s hard to understand the scale, but that’s maybe HALF of the jobs in the industry just POOF not to mention the projects they’re just… abandoning?

Also a good reminder that the economy becomes insane if one cannot believe that contracts will be honored

There’s a lot of wild stuff happening but let me tell you, WILD developments in the cultural resources management space today. Wild.

Just saw someone on Reddit say a 40 year old was “elderly,” gonna go die in a cave now

Tree color sighting

My kid is quite the comedian because he’s very much aware that he gets away with more if it’s legitimately funny

Definitely flying too close to the sun in terms of my to-do list today

Reddit city subs be like: Nasty Cold Going Around! As if there is only one cold ever going around

Not a 2 hour “training” this morning

Cooking instructions: add “splash” of water Ok like what the fuck man

Actually, I’m not really a fan of interviews at all, unless the point is to show that you actually understand the things you’re claiming to understand on your CV/resume, which is rarely the point.

*walks into job site* “Hi, I’m the archaeologist.” “Yeah we can tell.” (I mean surely I might also be mistaken for an environmental engineer or the wetlands person)

I’m honestly impressed by those of you who manage to keep the top-heavy kind of earbuds in your ears

This gatekeeping question is inevitable: "Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as scientific research?"

My best friend since I was 3 died two years ago, today would have been her 42nd birthday, I just needed to put that somewhere.

Step one: do not hump the furniture. Step two: do become one with the furniture

About to go to IKEA, would appreciate your thots and prayers

"OK so hear me out, the AI industry is controlled by a conspiracy of people who all talk to each other and worship a time-travelling evil AI god called Roko's basilisk. They are trying to be the first to destroy the world so they get to control how it happens."

This is part of the point, I think. This, Project 2025, Epstein, whatever. There’s actual tinfoil hat shit happening, so they invented stupid tinfoil hat conspiracies as cover, so you can’t talk about any of it without sounding crazy.

The dumbest thing about the whole Ed Sheeran thing is he identifies as a "culturally Irish" musician, and is seemingly touring with half of Ireland, and yet somehow had no clue that Irish musicians have been the single longest and loudest chorus of voices in Europe about what is happening.
