Put away the umbrella; I do not need your shade.
We’re two-thirds of the way through the month and yet it’s only Tuesday
My coworker has been bragging about her husband’s potato salad and she brought some in to share - it has potatoes, tuna, eggs, and mayo. No seasonings. It’s like something you would give a Komodo dragon on its birthday.
Weekly FaceTime with Mom (from her hotel in Tokyo). Tomorrow they fly back to Manila, stay one night at a hotel and then fly to Laoag, Ilocos Norte, for some more sightseeing and in-laws time.

I can’t figure out the size of anything in this image

Many of the apps and websites now required by UK law to take your ID info have equal or worse data protections than Tea. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but it is what you need to hear. PII security audits are going to be the next step on a very slippery slope of misery.

I get 5TB of OneDrive storage through my university account but it forces me to sign in with 2FA every two days or something 🥴🥴🥴
If you flip this around I think you can see why modern life is so frustrating for progressives, why they’re so neurotic about everything, and upset all the time. If you ignore all the trade-offs, if you just simply don’t care about the morality of forcing third parties to pay for…
What you should notice immediately, though, is the difference in who should be responsible for solving this problem. On the one hand, you could have the mother not work, in which case her and her husband are directly solving the problem of childcare for their own family. On the…
