"You have been existing on 3 hours of sleep for HOW MANY YEARS?? Oh my god, seek medical help immediately!...

... oh wait, you're a parent? Oh. Nevermind. You're good. Back to work you go!"

I always thought it kinda hardcore that the Evil Queen in Disney's Snow White summoned Satan to do her aging spell.
TIL that's not part of the English script 😆 Hungarian dubs just decided to go the extra mile.

Wondering how the "Cheerful Brunette With a Messy Bun" from ALL the AI posters is gonna go down in history...

Welp I guess it's time to rewatch The West Wing again

Delivery service this morning: "Sadly we could not deliver your package today because the pickup box was full. But you can redirect your package to another box!"

Me: redirects the package

Delivery service: "Great! You redirected your package to a less busy box. We will deliver it next Wednesday!"

🤬🤬🤬

You can be brave, but you'll never be as brave as the brand new dad asking a group chat of 15 moms "How can I tell why it's crying?"

#ParentingWhileAutistic

"Give your child clear boundaries. Name expectations and agree on compromises. Offer them choices and the agency to make a decision."

Note to autistic parents: Your child will make eye contact, agree to something, make a choice, swear up and down they are ok with it, then turn around, scream NO, and run away laughing.

This will happen multiple times a day, even if you make the clearest rules and state the clearest consequences.

I was gonna have a day off for the first time in a month, guess who stayed home sick today

Anyway the kid is currently sitting in bed, meticulously shredding a roll of toilet paper and insisiting it's rest time, and I'm past caring

I don't know if anyone else has this, but my brain has come up with several bookstores I regularly visit in my dreams. They don't exist in real life but I know where they would be on the map, and each has a distinct layout. I know where to find stuff.

I am happy to report that one of them had a stock clearance last night and were handing out bunches of books for free.

No, I have no idea what any of this means 😅

I just saw someone call Susan Dell "the first human to steal a job from AI" and it is sending me

For those interested:

I did a blog series on gemstone legends and folktales, in case you are curious what kinds of stories are out there 😊

Ok so from the toot yesterday I already learned a lot: Apparently for a lot of people it is not automatically clear what gemstone legends are?

(The working title of the book was Folktales and Legends about the Treasures of the Earth)

They are folktales and legends that feature gemstones and minerals.

Like the legend from Myanmar about how the first rubies were born. Or the Norse myth of Thor fighting a flint stone giant.
