Work optional, timezone agnostic. Good old things, and not too many. Here is still cheaper than therapy, you see.

It’s kind of funny to hang out on here among people hyper-focused on politics, political theory etc., then log off and talk to normal people and find out how they think about stuff 🙃

I came to my 14 year old with a concern about social media. He literally took his glasses off, rubbed his temples, and asked: “what have the moms on the internet said now?” 😯🫤😆

Hmm? Straight answer to a straight question: "Dating" was the interview process for Life Partner in which we learned about each other's thoughts/attitudes towards money, children, religion, other shared responsibilities, and capacity for personal growth.

Really beginning to hate the word 'neurodivergent'. Seems to either mean a) a sweeping grab bag of assumptions and facts about a whole range of neurological and fine motor disabilities or b) a service that provides support for *ONE* of the things grouped in the term, but you have to guess which one.

I'm from a different part of the world entirely but married in (and then exported him), going to the fair in 2022 after everything actually made me 🥲 Hope folks keep up the tradition of live-skeeting the Llama Costume Contest, I never seem to make it on that day.

The instinct (particularly online) to denounce a good action because it's not enough or not fully aligned with your preferred motivations is dysfunctional. Applaud good stuff. Jeer bad stuff.

Threw some cucumber slices in a jamjar with chili flakes, garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and a hunk of gula melaka/dark palm sugar. Didn't think much of it yesterday, but it certainly improved overnight.

Next up: Hotter Adorns! Not a colour I usually opt for, but this was my first/only insurance claim after I showed up in Joburg for work and my weather-appropriate clothes didn't. (The one time I check a bag, honestly...) So I get to find out how it feels to be Garrison Keillor-adjacent.

Hmm, have worn these Cynthia Rowley suede loafers to failure (hole in heel sole). Their role was to be the lightweight crushable city walkers within Eur/Asia carry-on limitations. A TJ Maxx buy, they lasted ~10 years... Currently on eBay/Poshmark for ~same price I think I paid (U$20)

I understand wanting to spend more time with your grown offspring via shared interests. I'm also starting to understand the phenomenon of some adult children feeling like their parent is in competition with them.

#HelicopterParenting: A friend of The Guy's just bought a helicopter and installed a helipad at his house.
Ostensibly because his grown son is in training to become a commercial helicopter pilot.
(This seems simultaneously cool, and a solid Cry for Help to Fill the Void after selling a company.)

Yesterday we hitched up an IBC tank to fill a drum which will in turn feed a shower heater. Today I lazed and read "What Happens When You Get What You Want" with coffee: a breezy 90+ pages, thoughtful but not ground-breaking. I've become reacquainted with the wood tick. No deer ticks. 🙏

Made an Instant Pot chickpea and shredded chicken tagine dinner 🤤 from dried garbanzo beans, which I hadn't previously considered a special treat. But the fact of the matter is I don't buy fifty spices every time I set up somewhere for a few weeks/months.

Verdict: the $1.50 Costco loss-leader hotdog + 20 oz drink is fine to experience, if the drink is fizzy water. (Yes I am a snob, and the staff were the more reasonably-girthed of the folks there today.)
