Instead of springing forward, I'm going to fall back to sleep and worry about the clocks tomorrow - Monday at the very latest.

Setting my clock forward five years.

It's Women's Day, the day when every man assures the world we can't mean him as he's one of the good guys.

i feel like with the whole clocks changing thing & all, we should have probably gone to bed at 5pm.

I’m not afraid of dying, but I’m angered by the idea of the world going on without me.

Pause for a moment to think of all the pets affected by this hideous war: those killed in the blasts, and those abandoned by people fleeing the region.

Even Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons Think There’s Too Much Fashion Interviewed by Robin Givhan, the Prada co–creative directors worry the industry is all over the place and clothes are all starting to look the same.

Worth a read

Got the bestest email from a reader who’s been reading Oberon’s Bathtime Stories to their 10-year old. Kid loves learning about the historical figures, uses the word effluvium & laughs when adults have to look it up. Made my dang day.

Wanna read it to your kid? hornedlarkpress.com/product/ober...

As a child star, I thought I had my whole future ahead of me. Which was technically true.

Hey! I will be signing free posters at the Dark Horse booth at 4:00 today!

Crocheted whale about the size of a decent honeydew melon. He is the same blue/green/purple yarn as the jellyfish. He sits on a counter and is a little wonky and probably should have been stuffed a bit more but making him helps me sit still and is so relaxing. It is only a matyer of time before Cole the cat finds him and the chase is on.

This little whale says "Hello!"

For my region, I'd go with staying on daylight savings time.

kristi noem got fired. -what I’ve been saying to myself all day “as a little treat”

Ok. Set. Let’s see how this plays out.

Odd. I see a full breakdown now, but I specifically looked for them that day.

On that day I got:
- reminder to practice
- note that someone took my place in ranking
- congratulations on my progress, consider upgrading to max
- Duo was feeling lonely

And this was all before 2PM and typical for that week.

Hah!

I got rid of the notifications the day I got four of them. It would have been nice if I could limit them to one - a single daily reminder only.

It still interrupts my learning flow asking to turn notifications on and add a widget which is my reminder to never do that.

Remember when there was a difference between rage bait and information? Good times.

On a wooden cutting board we see soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter, chili oil, sesame oil, three cloves of garlic, some chopped ginger, a small bowl of sugar and salt, and a package of shanxi style noodles.
