I also used to do a post Christmas a movie at the theatre by myself that I wanted to see. It was a good alone time for me in an otherwise male centric house
It’s been so long since I had young ones. If they are in childcare don’t feel guilty about leaving them there a day you’re not at work. They are happy with friends. Take time for you. I promise, at age 32 they won’t hate you

Blue sky, crisp air, mountains. Life is good
I once had a client who had their Christmas themed snow effect hardcoded by a dev who ghosted them. On our first call I was like, “so is the snow a Christmas in July thing?”
Workforce growth among companies that allow hybrid work is outpacing that of firms mandating a return to offices, data from Revelio Labs shows.
How do you wind down professionally before long holiday time off? I have young children, so I take some half-days for self-care while they are in school. Haircut today, massage tomorrow. Time-off work for parents != relaxing.
Cautionary tale here.
If you want some hilarity ask ChatGpt to write your bio.
My dad would be shocked to know about my CompSci degree and that I’m a sought after TED Talk speaker
I use Nord also.

There are a series of gag gifts happening this week: A Mr. Potato Head so he can find eyes in the head, a game of operation so he knows what body parts always come in the head, eyeball candies making random appearances
Literally this went out over the air and they are never going to let him live it down. Particularly since he repeated it like 3 times.
"Caller states that injury is to his eye. There is a history of a previous injury to his eye in his head."
When good intentions go wrong:
My partner is in EMS. They’ve been after folks to improve communications to be really specific so "people know what they are facing when they go through a door."
It's been working well, but over the weekend someone got a little too in his head.
They look like rejects from the Pinewood Derby.
I’ve been assaulted 2x age 13 & 22. You know who I’m not afraid of— not the LGBTQ community including trans anyone in a bathroom.
Who have I got every radar and spidey sense working on— alpha male assholes & incels who think they own the damn world because their parents raised them poorly
the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?
My aging eyes feel this
I just updated to WordPress 6.7, and I love the new Zoom-Out View in the editor! It makes organizing blocks so much easier. Plus, I’ve been relying on the Command Palette more lately—it’s such a game-changer for speeding up workflows.
What’s your favorite feature in 6.7?

Shout out to Chris for this one - thanks!
Am I missing the obvious or is the iPad app of Bluesky functional, but not so hot yet?

If you've been with #WordPress for a WHILE (and a developer or manager or business person) then you've heard of PressConf. First I'm hearing it back (via Matt Medeiros - who is apparently not on BlueSky yet?).

Just a tip for people who are following as we are all getting going on Bsky: If I don't recognize your name, I will be looking at your profile for clues about whether to follow back. If you don't have ANYTHING there about yourself, or any posts -- I'm probably not following back. 😉
He and his idiot brother were renting waterfront property near me. Everyone was happy when they left
lol same, I have a bunch of “celeb” followers from previous career
I feel like it's 2009 again and I'm checking out who all my followers are following and adding people like crazy
