Precious little sleeping spiders 🖤

Is Bad Badford feeling Mad Madford or Sad Sadford?

🥳🍾 Congrats Geoff!

Two stories about mink farming in my feed today and I'm just stuck thinking about how "farm" is such an inapt word for these places (at least without the qualifying "factory" lead-in). They live in shoebox cages on racks, eat meat mush off the ceiling wire and poop through the floor wire.

on boghub a pull request is you whisper your changes to a crow nobody knows what approval looks like but it involves getting cawed at

Missing out on #a11yTOConf once again. Hope everyone has a great time, and that any travellers are enjoying the magically perfect fall weather in town. 🍂

Legit. I'm too weak and wimpy (and sweaty! 😅) to be much of a cyclist, least of all on major roads, but I am all for our bike lanes and cyclist protection & infrastructure.

The framing: "OMG, AI so smart now, it can detect CANCER leading to DEATH" The actual, buried takeaway: "Hippocrates could, too, by _looking_ at people"

Sometimes, in my head:

Annual Cake For Breakfast Day 😋

Okay, suddenly I'm obsessed with how squirrels roll their little mitts into their chest when they sit up. 😍

📞Me: Hi, my name is sylvia. I have an appointment on Wednesday that I need to reschedule. 📞Them: Okay, do you want to do that now, or give us a call back? GenZ, what is wrong with you?

HOOooOWWwww did I not post "Guess what? Chicken butt!"

Or when all the names in the table are "John Smith" and I start schooling them on the 4-name Latinx format

Why carve a pumpkin in the fall when you can carve horse hair (one of my favourite creative media 😂)! Big Fuzz got a chonky hen this time. Happy #boktober, I guess!

Accurate

Apparently now we are getting daily emails with our Copilot usage and associates costs. 😐

I like bear butts and I cannot lie

Thissss. Every time someone ends their rant about what other people should do with "*scoff* It's not that hard!", they're missing two key words: "for me"

It's this girl's Gotcha Day! She's been my best friend for 4 years today! 🧡💛

Feeling more and more annoyed by talk about "generative UI" and "on-the-fly personalization". Some folks might be amazed/amused with it to start, but that will soon wear off. Seriously, no one wants this long-term.

I wanted to send my mom a book recommendation, and instead of sending an Amazon link, I sent a link to the book in the public library catalog. Somehow, that felt so revolutionary, and is my new default share mode for books. 📚

Always by my side, she's happy it's hiking season again.

Sometimes, in my head:

Constantly oscillating between wanting to scream "MAKE IT MAKE SENSE" and scheduling a lobotomy.

Gotta confess: kinda loved that moment when deviating from the reference photo & reassured myself that that was, in fact, _fine_, bc I was only intending to draw *A* tardigrade, not *THIS* tardigrade, & this was not actually a paid commissioned portrait of anyone's dear, sweet Sir Chubbington.

Just opened a deck with "2030 Strategy" in the title and thought "Geez, 2030, all the way in the f-- uhh, three years and a bit."
