Faraway, So Micro

Send help: my 10yo has started into makeup. I’m not panicking about her morality or her choices or anything like that—mainly how she has aged 6 years in the last month.

(You don’t really need to send help. It’ll be fine. Unless you have some obvious “dad don’t do this” thoughts. 😆)

Benefits of catching up on work (self employed work anyway) on a Saturday: it might take longer because of distractions and lazy brain, but it somehow feels like you’re getting a cheat code on the week?

I hope to someday have the confidence (without the ignorance) of the man who stood on his $60,000 boat filling it with gas and proclaimed with his full chest that “we should all keep voting Trudeau if we want gas prices to keep going up”as if a singular person is responsible.

Sweet Threads man.

What’s your fav beside table / behind the couch plug like this? (USB-A, USB-C, easy to fit behind a bed or couch.)

Someone on tiktok told me I needed to “grow some man nuts girly boy” because I made a video about not wanting to come across a bear or mountain lion on a hike.

Does anyone know the best way to grow man nuts? I don’t think they grow in Saskatchewan all that well tbh.

As a parent of 3 kids, I know when “kids at camp” is on the calendar that there’s a 120% chance that one of the three gets some sort of illness.

Last night: “Why are we both getting phone calls from the same number?”

✏️ New blog post: Exporting Eleventy Blog Posts to WordPress Issues

Here’s the official announcement from Squadcast on being aquired by Descript. Getting both tools for the price of Descript is pretty great, and is a pretty clear shot at a recording tool like Riverside.fm, which I use, that’s been adding transcription AI tools recently.

Please don’t say “I’m so glad you’re moving on” to someone who’s working through something, especially trauma. Getting a new job isn’t “moving on” when you were fired by assholes in an asshole way at your old job.

It’s not about you.
